Bonding apparatus and method
A bonding apparatus and method includes: a stage configured to fix a first electric component; a pressing unit configured to press a conductive adhesive film and a second electric component onto the first electric component; a driver configured to control movement of the pressing unit along a direction; and a plurality of sensors at different positions on the stage and configured to sense a change in capacitance with the pressing unit, wherein the pressing unit includes a flat metal material in first regions facing the plurality of sensors.
1. A bonding method comprising:
fixing a first electric component on a stage;
attaching a conductive adhesive film on the first electric component;
arranging a second electric component on the conductive adhesive film;
arranging a dummy film on the second electric component;
pressing the conductive adhesive film, the second electric component, and the dummy film by driving a pressing unit; and
removing the dummy film,
wherein a first side of the dummy film which contacts the second electric component is adhesive.
2. The bonding method of claim 1 , wherein the first side of the dummy film is configured to remove particles that inflow onto the second electric component.
3. The bonding method of claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of sensors are located at different locations on the stage, and
wherein the pressing the conductive adhesive film, the second electric component, and the dummy film by driving the pressing unit comprises sensing a change in capacitance between each of the plurality of sensors and the pressing unit.
4. The bonding method of claim 3 , further comprising controlling an equilibrium state of the pressing unit based on a result of the sensing the change in capacitance between each of the plurality of sensors and the pressing unit.
5. The bonding method of claim 3 , wherein the capacitance changes in response to a distance between each of the plurality of sensors and the pressing unit.
6. The bonding method of claim 5 , wherein the change in capacitance sensed in each of the plurality of sensors is the same at an equilibrium state of the pressing unit when the pressing unit presses.
