Description

本発明は、プリント基板に電子部品をはんだ付けする際に用いるリフロー炉に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a reflow furnace used when soldering an electronic component to a printed board.

グローバルに環境問題がクローズアップされ電機業界でも鉛フリー化が推進されて行く中で、リフロー工法で電子部品とプリント基板を接合する為に使用するクリームはんだも従来のSn―Pbから鉛フリーはんだとしてSn−3.0Ag−0.5Cuの錫・銀系または、Sn−3.5Ag−8In−0.5Biのインジウム系に変更されて来た。しかしながら前記鉛フリーはんだは従来の鉛入りはんだに比べ総じて融点が高く、リフロー温度も高くせざるを得なかった。   As environmental issues have become more global and lead-free is being promoted in the electrical industry, the cream solder used to join electronic components and printed circuit boards using the reflow method has been changed from conventional Sn-Pb to lead-free solder. It has been changed to Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu tin-silver system or Sn-3.5Ag-8In-0.5Bi indium system. However, the lead-free solder generally has a higher melting point and higher reflow temperature than conventional lead-containing solder.

・従来の鉛入りはんだ・・・(融点:183℃/リフロー温度:220℃〜225℃)
・前記錫・銀系・・・・・・(融点:220℃/リフロー温度:約240℃)
・前記インジウム系・・・・(融点:206℃/リフロー温度:約230℃)
リフロー温度を高くすると、LSIやICなどの半導体の中には耐熱温度225℃〜230℃の低耐熱のものが多種あるため、その耐熱温度を超えるとパッケージ亀裂により部品が破壊されることもある。
-Conventional lead-containing solder (melting point: 183 ° C / reflow temperature: 220 ° C to 225 ° C)
・ Tin / Silver system (Melting point: 220 ° C./Reflow temperature: about 240 ° C.)
・ Indium-based (Melting point: 206 ° C./reflow temperature: about 230 ° C.)
When the reflow temperature is increased, there are various types of semiconductors such as LSIs and ICs that have a low heat resistance of 225 ° C. to 230 ° C. If the heat resistance temperature is exceeded, parts may be broken due to package cracks. .

また、ビスマスやインジウムのような低融点金属が凝固時に接合界面に偏り、不均一な層を形成することがあり(以下「偏析」という)、接合部に亀裂が入るなどの不具合が発生することもある。   In addition, low melting point metals such as bismuth and indium may be biased at the bonding interface during solidification to form a non-uniform layer (hereinafter referred to as “segregation”), resulting in problems such as cracks in the joint. There is also.

以上「電子部品の耐熱性の問題」「偏析の問題」の対策としては、如何にしてリフロー済みプリント基板を急冷するかであり、両問題を解決する為にははんだ接合部の温度を各はんだの融点から20秒以内に150℃まで急冷する必要がある。
そこで、従来のリフロー炉においては、リフロー済みプリント基板を冷却する手段として空冷手段、水冷手段等が講じられ、また提案されている。(例えば、特許文献1参照)
図3は、従来のリフロー炉の断面図を示し、左側から平面実装されたプリント基板3が供給され、予備加熱ゾーンPで予備加熱され、本加熱ゾーンRでクリームはんだを溶融させ、冷却ゾーンCで未凝固はんだを冷却し凝固させ右側からプリント基板3が出てくる。

As described above, the countermeasure against “the problem of heat resistance of electronic parts” and “the problem of segregation” is how to rapidly cool the reflowed printed circuit board. It is necessary to rapidly cool to 150 ° C. within 20 seconds from the melting point.
Therefore, in the conventional reflow furnace, an air cooling means, a water cooling means, etc. are taken and proposed as means for cooling the reflowed printed circuit board. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a conventional reflow furnace, in which a printed circuit board 3 mounted in a plane is supplied from the left side, preheated in a preheating zone P, cream solder is melted in the main heating zone R, and a cooling zone C Then, the unsolidified solder is cooled and solidified, and the printed circuit board 3 comes out from the right side.
In FIG. 3, P is a preheating zone, R is a main heating zone, C is a cooling zone, 3 is a printed circuit board, 4 is a transport device, and 6 is a cooling device.

図1においてPが予備加熱ゾーン、Rが本加熱ゾーン、Cが冷却ゾーン、3がプリント基板、4が搬送装置、5が熱風吹出し型ヒーター、6が冷却装置、7が断熱材である。
図1の左側から平面実装されたプリント基板3が供給され、熱風吹出し型ヒーター5を備えた予備加熱ゾーンPで予備加熱され、同じく熱風吹出し型ヒーター5を備えた本加熱ゾーンRでクリームはんだを溶融させ、冷却ゾーンCで未凝固はんだを冷却し凝固させ右側から出てくる。

A printed circuit board 3 mounted on a plane is supplied from the left side of FIG. 1, preheated in a preheating zone P provided with a hot air blowing heater 5, and cream solder is applied in a main heating zone R provided with the hot air blowing heater 5 as well. It melts and cools and solidifies the unsolidified solder in the cooling zone C and comes out from the right side.
In the cooling zone C, a propeller fan and an air flow path are provided as cooling devices 6 above and below the conveying device 4, and room temperature air is introduced from the outside of the reflow furnace through the air flow channel by the propeller fan and reflowed. Air is blown from above and below toward the printed circuit board to cool it. At this time, the heat-insulating material 7 made of glass wool attached to the inner wall of the air flow path is insulated from the main heating zone R, and the room temperature air introduced from the outside of the reflow furnace is reflowed without significantly increasing the temperature. Because it is sprayed on, rapid cooling is possible.
