Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wafer via solder filling device includes a solder bath comprising an accommodation space for accommodating a molten solder, with an open top, and an air outlet for exhausting air from the accommodation space; a fixing unit for fixing the wafer having a via formed in one surface in the accommodation space to seal the accommodation space airtight; and a pressing unit for pressing a bottom of the molten solder arranged in the solder bath and moving the molten solder upward, to fill the molten solder in the via.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wafer via solder filling method using a wafer via solder filling device comprising a solder bath comprising an accommodation space for accommodating a molten solder, with an open top, and an air outlet for exhausting air from the accommodation space; a fixing unit for fixing the wafer having a via formed in one surface in the accommodation space to seal the accommodation space airtight; and a pressing unit for pressing a bottom of the molten solder arranged in the solder bath and moving the molten solder upward, to fill the molten solder in the via, the wafer via solder filling method comprising: a fixing step of fixing the wafer in the accommodation space, using the fixing unit, and sealing the accommodation space airtight; an exhausting step of exhausting air inside the sealed accommodation space through the air outlet; and a filling step of filling the molten solder in the via as pressing the bottom of the molten solder and moving the molten solder upward, using the pressing unit. 2. A wafer via solder filling method using a wafer via solder filling device comprising a solder bath comprising an accommodation space for accommodating a molten solder, with an open top; a fixing unit for providing a suction force to a top surface of a wafer having a via vertically there through and fixing the wafer in the accommodation space; and a pressing unit for pressing a bottom of the molten solder arranged in the solder bath and moving the molten solder upward, to fill the molten solder in the via, the wafer via solder filling method comprising: a fixing step of fixing the wafer in the accommodation space, using the fixing unit; and a filling step of filling the molten solder in the via by providing a suction force to a top surface of the wafer as pressing a bottom of the motel solder and moving the molten solder upward simultaneously, using the pressing unit.
