Z-Pitch-Roll positioning module with force feedback for wafer bonding of advanced packaging

Advanced packaging of semiconductor has been the trend to increase the number of transistors per unit area. Either stack a chip on the wafer or directly bond two wafers together, this requires a stage which can perform pitch and roll adjustment. In addition, this stage should be equipped with the force feedback mechanism to ensure the bonding quality. This Z-Pitch-Roll positioning module is developed for this application.

  • Z-pitch-roll 3DOF motion is realized with 3 Z axis together with 3 universal bearing.
  • Each axis equipped with load cell for real-time force feedback to equalize the pressure of the whole surface.
  • Extremely low cogging linear motor is used to minimize speed ripple.
