Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle different sizes of semiconductor packages?

The patent application does not specify if the system is adaptable to various sizes of semiconductor packages. It would be important to know if the system can accommodate different package dimensions without compromising efficiency.

What is the maintenance schedule for the system components?

The patent application does not mention the maintenance requirements or schedule for the solder reflow, condensation, and cleaning apparatus. Understanding the maintenance needs of the system is crucial for its long-term performance and reliability.


Original Abstract Submitted

A solder reflow system may include a solder reflow apparatus, a condensation apparatus and a cleaning apparatus. The solder reflow apparatus may be configured to reflow a solder of a semiconductor package using a heat transfer fluid. The condensation apparatus may be configured to receive the semiconductor package processed by the solder reflow apparatus. The condensation apparatus may condensate a gas generated from the heat transfer fluid to convert the gas into a liquid. The cleaning apparatus may be configured to clean the semiconductor package processed by the condensation apparatus using a cleaning agent. Thus, the heat transfer fluid stained with the semiconductor package may be removed by the condensation apparatus so that the heat transfer fluid may not be introduced into the cleaning apparatus. As a result, the heat transfer fluid may not be mixed with the cleaning agent to maintain cleaning capacity of the cleaning agent.
