Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ultrasonic bonding head includes a vibrator unit, a holder, and a pressurizing shaft. The vibrator unit includes a press part formed at a tip of the vibrator unit in a longitudinal axis thereof and configured to press a bonding scheduled part to be bonded. The holder holds a base of the vibrator unit in a cantilever manner so that the tip is a free end. The pressurizing shaft is connected with the holder and transmits a force of pressing the press part against the bonding scheduled part so that the vibrator unit moves substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis. The holder is provided with a restraint portion. The restraint portion contacts with the vibrator unit at a counterforce dispersion position located between a main hold position for holding the vibrator unit by the holder and the free end.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An ultrasonic bonding head comprising: a vibrator unit (1) having a longitudinal axis, (2) having a press part at a tip of the vibrator unit along the longitudinal axis, (3) configured to press a bonding scheduled part to be bonded, and (4) having a plurality of vibration nodes along the longitudinal axis during operation; a holder that holds a base of the vibrator unit in a cantilever manner at a main hold position such that the tip is a free end; and a pressurizing shaft connected with the holder and configured to transmit a force of pressing the press part against the bonding scheduled part so that the vibrator unit moves along a perpendicular axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the holder includes (1) a restraint portion configured to contact the vibrator unit at a counterforce dispersion position between the main hold position and the tip of the vibrator unit along the longitudinal axis and (2) an auxiliary holder that holds a cover covering a vibration source of the vibrator unit at a sub hold position differing from the main hold position along the longitudinal axis, the counterforce dispersion position is at a first of the plurality of vibration nodes closest to the tip of the vibrator unit, the sub hold position is at a second of the plurality of the vibration nodes closest to the vibration source, and the main hold position is at a third of the plurality of vibration nodes between the counterforce dispersion position and the sub hold position. 2. The ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 1 , wherein the restraint portion and the press part are configured such that a first position where the restraint portion contacts the vibrator unit and a second position where the press part is intended to contact the bonding scheduled part are different along the longitudinal axis and are on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis. 3. The ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 1 , wherein a core axis of the pressurizing shaft is substantially parallel to the perpendicular axis, and the pressurizing shaft is connected with the holder so that the core axis is located between the main hold position and the counterforce dispersion position. 4. The ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 1 , wherein the vibrator unit includes a vibration source for ultrasonically vibrating the press part in a parallel direction to the longitudinal axis. 5. The ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 1 , wherein the restraint portion has a low friction processed part that contacts the vibrator unit for improving a relative movement between the restraint portion and the vibrator unit along the longitudinal axis. 6. An ultrasonic bonding head comprising: a vibrator unit (1) having a longitudinal axis, (2) having a press part at a tip of the vibrator unit along the longitudinal axis and (3) configured to press a bonding scheduled part to be bonded; a holder that holds a base of the vibrator unit along the longitudinal axis in a cantilever manner at a main hold position such that the tip is a free end; and a pressurizing shaft connected with the holder and configured to transmit a force of pressing the press part against the bonding scheduled part so that the vibrator unit moves along a perpendicular axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the holder includes (1) a restraint portion configured to contact the vibrator unit at a counter force dispersion position and (2) an auxiliary holder that holds a cover covering a vibration source of the vibrator unit at a sub hold position, the counterforce dispersion position is between the tip and the main hold position along the longitudinal axis, the vibrator unit has at least three vibration nodes along the longitudinal axis during operation, and the main hold position, the sub hold position and the counterforce dispersion position are at different of the at least three vibration nodes. 7. An ultrasonic bonding device comprising the ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 1 . 8. An ultrasonic bonding device comprising the ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 6 . 9. An ultrasonic bonding method for ultrasonically bonding a bonding scheduled part using the ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 1 . 10. An ultrasonic bonding method for ultrasonically bonding a bonding scheduled part using the ultrasonic bonding head according to claim 6 .
