Our Systems
1. Microelectronics assembly line:
A SB2-SM machine provides bumps with different alloys such as Sn Ag in a range from 40 to 760 microns. An AVT oven is used for reflow soldering of surface mount electronic components to printed circuit boards (PCB) or other substrates.
Solder bump deposition
Bump bonding
A Suss FC-150 machine is used for the complex process of flip-chipping. High-density interconnections of solder bumps of typical 25 micron diameter can be achieved with this technique.
Reflow Oven
Plasma cleaning chamber
The AP-300 system allows removing impurities and contaminants from surfaces through the use of an energetic plasma
Device assembly
The Finetech pick and place machine provides 5 micron positioning precision.
Wire-bonding
An automatic Delvotec G5 bonder offers solutions for the most demanding integration needs.
2. Asembly quality control and characterization
