Patent ID: 8302839

Claim:
A components assembling device for assembling components having metal bonding pads, especially microelectronic components, said device comprising: a first plate; a second plate facing said first plate and being independently movable relative and parallel to said first plate via actuators so as to reciprocally move said first and second plates closer together and further apart, said first and second plates including at least one first component and at least one second component respectively, said first plate including a first heating plate and said second plate including a second heating plate for heating said first and second components respectively, said first and second components facing each other and their respective metal pads are brought into contact with each other when said first and second plates are moved together; said first plate including a first outer zone surrounding said first component and provided with at least: a first orifice radially close to said first component and configured to be supplied with a deoxidizing gaseous fluid, a second orifice radially far from said first component and configured to be supplied with an inert gaseous fluid, and a third orifice placed radially between said first orifice and said second orifice and connected to suction means; said second plate having a second outer zone surrounding said second component and being configured to cover said first plate; and when said first and second components are in contact with each other, said first and second plates define a flat chamber therebetween that surrounds said first and second components.
