Abstract:
1. A lead wire connection apparatus which connects a plurality of semiconductor cells in a row by lead wires, comprising: a feed module which feeds the semiconductor cells; tape attaching means for simultaneously attaching adhesive, electrically conductive tapes, which are cut to a predetermined length, to an upper surface and a lower surface of the semiconductor cell which is fed from the feed module; convey means to which the semiconductor cell, to the upper surface and lower surface of which the conductive tapes have been attached by the tape attaching means, is fed, and which pitch-feeds the semiconductor cell; lead wire processing means for forming-processing the lead wire in such a shape that the lead wire is bent upward and downward at an intermediate portion in a longitudinal direction of the lead wire; provisional pressure-bonding means which is provided at a part opposed to the semiconductor cell that is pitch-fed by the convey means, holds the lead wires, which are forming-processed by the lead wire processing means, repeats provisional pressure-bonding of the lead wires to the conductive tapes provided on the upper surface and lower surface of the semiconductor cell that is pitch-fed, and electrically connects, alternately, the upper surfaces and lower surfaces of the neighboring semiconductor cells; and main pressure-bonding means which is disposed at a part opposed to the semiconductor cell on a downstream side of the provisional pressure-bonding means in a direction of conveyance of the semiconductor cell by the convey means, and which mainly pressure-bonds, simultaneously, the paired upper and lower lead wires which have been provisionally pressure-bonded to the upper surface and lower surface of the semiconductor cell by the provisional pressure-bonding means.
