Abstract

A method and an apparatus are provided for mounting and removing electronic components using solder bumps while constraining thermal stresses to a substrate. The method and apparatus for mounting and removing an electronic component (bear chip 32 ) to be soldered onto the substrate with solder bumps 114 is configured to move the electronic component to detect contact of the solder bumps with the substrate or contact of a tool (chuck unit 38 ) with the electronic component, to define the contact as an original point for raising a heating temperature of the electronic component and the substrate from the heating temperature to a maximum heating temperature HTm as well as move the electronic component in conformity with the temperature rising, and to move the electronic component from a position where the maximum heating temperature is achieved to a mounting height of the substrate.

Claims (21)

1. A removing method for an electronic component that removes from a substrate an electronic component soldered to the substrate with the use of solder bumps, the removing method comprising:

moving a tool for receiving the electronic component to the electronic component on the substrate to detect contact of the tool, with the electronic component on the substrate;

raising a heating temperature of the tool, electronic component and the substrate up to a maximum heating temperature starting from the contact of the tool as well as moving the tool in response to the temperature rising;

moving the tool to a stopped position where the maximum heating temperature is achieved, such that the electronic component maintains contact with the substrate;

moving the electronic component from the stopped position where the maximum heating temperature is achieved to a mounting height of the substrate through movement of the tool so that the tool receives the electronic component from the substrate; and

preheating the tool and the substrate before the tool contacts the electronic component,

wherein the maximum heating temperature corresponds to thermal deformation of the substrate.

2. The removing method for an electronic component of claim 1 ,

the stopped position of the tool is higher than the mounting height of the electronic component on the substrate, and

wherein the electric component is moved from the stopped position to the mounting height of the substrate by use of the tool after the elapse of predetermined time.

3. The removing method for an electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the amount of movement of the tool moved in response to the temperature rising is a value calculated from thermal distortion of the substrate and thermal distortion of support members supporting the electronic component.

4. The removing method for an electronic component of claim 1 , wherein 30 to 50 percent of solder is left on the substrate with the electronic component removed.

5. A removing method for an electronic component that uses a tool to remove an electronic component soldered to a substrate, the removing method comprising:

raising a heating temperature of the tool, electronic component and the substrate up to a maximum heating temperature;

moving the tool to a stopped position where the maximum heating temperature is achieved, such that the electronic component maintains contact with the substrate;

moving the electronic component from the stopped position where the maximum heating temperature is achieved to a mounting height of the substrate through movement of the tool so that the tool receives the electronic component from the substrate; and

preheating the tool and the substrate before the movement of the tool.

6. A removing method for an electronic component that uses a tool to remove an electronic component soldered to a substrate, the removing method comprising:

raising a heating temperature of the tool, electronic component and the substrate up to a maximum heating temperature;

moving the tool to a stopped position where the maximum heating temperature is achieved, such that the electronic component maintains contact with the substrate; and

moving the electronic component from the stopped position to a mounting height of the substrate through movement of the tool so that the tool receives the electronic component from the substrate.
