Abstract
Abstract An inner lead bonder for bonding dies to leads of carrier tape with improved positional accuracy and improved work efficiency. In the inner lead bonder, dies are fed to a die positioning spot one at a time and positioned. Then, said positioned die is carried to a bonding position. On the other hand, leads of a carrier tape are fed to the bonding position and positioned at the spot above the aforesaid die. Thereafter, the leads of the carrier tape are pressed onto the die and bonded by using a bonding tool. This inner lead bonder is characterized in that it includes a rotary table with the size covering the die positioning point and the bonding position, and after positioning the die on the rotary table, the rotary table is rotated in order to bring the die positioned as mentioned above to the bonding position to place the die at a proper position for bonding.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
259 words
An inner lead bonder for bonding leads of a lead frame carried on a film carrier to a die of the type having a plurality of bonding pads when said die is at a bonding position, said inner lead bonder characterized by: a rotary table having said bonding position located thereon and a die positioning spot angularly displaced from said bonding position, said rotary table being arranged and configured such that said bonding position and said die positioning spot can be interchanged by rotating said table; a means for sensing the position of said die when said die is located at said die positioning spot; a means for sensing the position of said lead frame on said film carrier; a means for moving said film carrier with said lead frame thereon relative to said bonding position in response to the sensed position of said die and the sensed position of said lead frame on said film carrier when said table is rotated to interchange said bonding position and said die positioning spot; and a means for positioning said die in XY direction as well as θ direction said rotary table when said die is at said die positioning spot; whereby in response to the sensed position of the die and the sensed position of the lead fame, the means for moving the film carrier relative to said bonding position moves said film carrier to align said die with said lead frame as said rotary table is rotated such that said die positioning spot and said bonding position are interchanged.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
259 words
An inner lead bonder for bonding leads of a lead frame carried on a film carrier to a die of the type having a plurality of bonding pads when said die is at a bonding position, said inner lead bonder characterized by: a rotary table having said bonding position located thereon and a die positioning spot angularly displaced from said bonding position, said rotary table being arranged and configured such that said bonding position and said die positioning spot can be interchanged by rotating said table; a means for sensing the position of said die when said die is located at said die positioning spot; a means for sensing the position of said lead frame on said film carrier; a means for moving said film carrier with said lead frame thereon relative to said bonding position in response to the sensed position of said die and the sensed position of said lead frame on said film carrier when said table is rotated to interchange said bonding position and said die positioning spot; and a means for positioning said die in XY direction as well as θ direction said rotary table when said die is at said die positioning spot; whereby in response to the sensed position of the die and the sensed position of the lead fame, the means for moving the film carrier relative to said bonding position moves said film carrier to align said die with said lead frame as said rotary table is rotated such that said die positioning spot and said bonding position are interchanged.
