By the way, semiconductor tips are normally made in a process of forming a plurality of the same circuit patterns on one side of a wafer made of ceramic or silicon or the like, using a method such as a photolisography, notching the wafer, enlarging an expand method, and cutting each circuit pattern individually.
Therefore, semiconductor tips are various in shape and size by the shape of the separation even if they have been separated from the same wafer. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, there is a case where protruding parts 5A to 5C more projecting outside than the other peripheral parts are formed at the corners of a semiconductor tip 5.
Besides, in the aforementioned tape-shaped parts package 1, the cover tape 3 is normally stuck on one side of the carrier tape 2 at the both ends in the width direction by bonding or press-contacting by heat. Thus, if the carrier tape 2 bends in the width direction, the cover tape 3 in turn bends; so that there is a case where the semiconductor tip 5 stored in the embossed part 2A of the carrier tape 2 is protruded from the embossed part 2A and unfortunately fits between the one side of the carrier tape 2 and the cover tape 3.
And in this case, for example, if this tape-shaped parts package 1 is set in equipment such as an electronic parts mounting device which acts as an electronic parts supplier, there is a problem that such inconvenience occurs that an electronic parts take-out mechanism cannot pick up the semiconductor tip protruded from the embossed part 2A of the carrier tape 2 in a specified state.
The present invention has been achieved considering the above problems, and proposes a parts storing tape capable of storing parts different in the manufacturing accuracy without any inconvenience, and a tape-shaped parts package, a tape-shaped cover and a parts packaging apparatus that can prevent storing parts from needless by protruding from the recessed parts of a parts storing tape.
FIG. 4B is an X—X′ cross section of the carrier tape shown in FIG. 4A;
FIG. 4C is a Y—Y′ cross section of the carrier tape shown in FIG. 4A;
FIG. 12B is an X—X′ cross section of the carrier tape shown in FIG. 12A;
FIG. 12C is a Y—Y′ cross section of the carrier tape shown in FIG. 12A; and
Furthermore, at the center of the bottom face 11C of each embossed part 11A, for example, a circular first damage-proof recessed part 11BX is formed deeper than the above bottom face 11B, and at the both ends of the bottom face 11B of the embossed part 11A in the longitudinal direction, for example, rectangular second damage-proof recessed parts 11BY are formed in the same depth as the first damage-proof recessed part 11BX, respectively.
Moreover, in this tape-shaped parts package 10, the stepped parts 11DA to 11DD are provided at the four corners of each embossed part 11A of the carrier tape 11 to be more extended than the other inner side faces by the prescribed lengths W1 and W2 respectively in the width direction and longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 11. The semiconductor tip 13 stored in the above embossed part 11A is held so that its four corners are supported by these stepped parts 11DA to 11DD.
In the aforementioned embodiment, it has dealt with the case where the stepped parts 11DA to 11DD are provided at each corner of each embossed part 11A of the carrier tape 11 respectively, and the semiconductor tip 13 stored in the embossed part 11A is held in the specified state by supporting it only by these stepped parts 11DA to 11DD. However, the present invention is not only lisited to this. For example, as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C in which the same reference numerals are added to corresponding parts of FIGS. 4A to 4C with “′”, second stepped parts 11E having the same height as each of stepped parts 11DA′ to 11DD′ may be formed at the both ends of each of embossed parts 11A′ in the width direction (arrow—a direction) so that the semiconductor tip 13 stored in an embossed part 11A′ is held by supported by each stepped part 11DA′ to 11DD′ and each second stepped part 11E. Thereby, for example, also when the corner of the semiconductor tip 13 is more set back than the other peripheral parts, the above semiconductor tip 13 can be always held in the specified state by each of the stepped parts 11DA′ to 11DD′ and each of the second stepped parts 11E.
