Nordson DAGE, a division of Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN), will highlight its latest bond testing and X-ray inspection capabilities in Booth #512 at the upcoming IMAPS 44th International Symposium on Microelectronics, scheduled to take place October 9-13, 2011 at the Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, CA.

The 4000Plus Bondtester represents the new industry standard in bond testing with unsurpassed data accuracy and repeatability.  Nordson DAGE bond test technology meets the requirements of emerging test applications including ribbon pull, pad cratering using hot pin pull, bend and fatigue testing. The 4000Plus bondtester uses the next generation Paragon™ software providing semi-automatic test routines, automatic GR&R calculation, unique database search engine wizard and superior data reporting.

Also featured at the show will be the Nordson DAGE μCT Inspection Option that provides Computerised Tomography (CT) functionality to compliment the 2-D X-ray investigations on Nordson DAGE X-ray inspection systems. It uses the superior, submicron feature recognition of 2-D X-ray images that Nordson DAGE X-ray systems always provide to produce the best CT models for 3-D sample analysis, virtual micro-sectioning and internal dimensional measurements. Additionally, the option reduces the number of time-consuming micro-section analyses needed, assisting in identifying where micro-section preparation and investigation must concentrate. The μCT inspection capability is available with a system order or as retro-fit to suit application and workflow needs.

LORD Corporation Develops High Quality, Low Cost Underfill Encapsulant – Visit Booth # 226 For More Information

LORD Corporation has announced a new, low cost underfill encapsulant developed specifically for the semiconductor packaging and assembly industries. Developed to meet technical requirements of customers, LORD Corporation has been able to present this material with a significant cost reduction compared to competitive underfill materials. Comparable with underfills such as Henkel 4526, the ME-555 offers excellent flow characteristics, thermal cycling reliability and low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE).

LORD ME-555 underfill encapsulant is a high purity, semiconductor grade epoxy underfill material for the encapsulation of flip chip devices. It is formulated to reduce warpage and with the necessary structural strength to handle over-molding processes.

Designed with optimum surface tension and viscosity to achieve full coverage without producing bulky fillet or creeping on top of the device, LORD ME-555 will flow consistently without voids while maintaining a fast flow rate. It can be used under CSP/BGAs and small dies with stand-off heights as small as 25 microns. Owing to the low CTE, ME-555 minimizes the possibility of cracking and greatly improves reliability during temperature cycling and temperature shock. READ MORE

GPD Global to Showcase PCD ‘H’ Series at IMAPS – Long Beach 2011

GPD Global will showcase its Positive Cavity Displacement (PCD) ‘H’ Series high-resolution pumps in Booth #439 at the upcoming IMAPS 44th International Symposium on Microelectronics, scheduled to take place October 11-13, 2011 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA.

GPD’s PCD Dispensing provides next-generation volumetric dispensing and is compatible with materials used in electronics assembly such as epoxies, thermal greases, underfills, oils, silicones and UV encapsulants, as well as materials outside of the electronics industry. PCD Technology is designed for GPD Global platforms and may be used with other robots or tabletop operations with an easy-to-use tabletop controller.

Viscous fluids are delivered to the substrate via luer nozzles and performance excels when using GPD Global ‘S’ Taper tips. The metering technique is not affected by variations in temperature or reservoir pressure, thereby improving day-to-day and start-to-finish process results. GPD’s enhanced flow rate luer dispense tips offer higher flow rates than standard luer nozzles with a much lower pressure build-up.

GPD also will demonstrate the PCD and MicroDot technologies on its MAX Series platform. MAX Series dispensing systems offer high accuracy, precision dispensing over a wide range of applications. The MAX Series platforms are ideal for die attach, underfill, MEMS, micro-volume conductive adhesive and paste applications. Max Series equipped with Micro-volume technology enables dispensing for 0201 components as well as die attach adhesives. Further expanding the Max Series capabilities with the continuously volumetric PCD dispense pump yields outstanding results with underfills, encapsulation and LED applications.

SET Introduces FC300R High Accuracy Device Bonder with Robotics – Visit Booth # 1200 For More Details

FC300R: an Easy-to-Use Production Platform Ideal for
High Accuracy C2W Bonding, Die Attach, Flip-Chip and 3D Integration with TSV.

SET - Smart Equipment Technology – has ched the FC300R, which combines robotic handling with the company’s proven FC300 platform to address the needs of the pre-production market for high accuracy bonding.

The FC300R offers hands-free placement capabilities for Chip-to-Substrate or Chip-to-Wafer assembly as well as Chip-to-Chip stacking. With an unmatched submicron post-bonding accuracy at bonding forces ranging from 0.4N to 4000N, the FC300R is the ideal tool for 3D-IC applications using high density TSV’s. This enhanced bonder accommodates components from 150 x 150 µm to 100 x 100 mm and substrates up to 200 x 200 mm or 300 mm wafers to serve a wide range of applications.

The addition of a loading robot to the base FC300 enables the handling of a wide range of components as well as increased machine autonomy by storing a large number ofwaffle packs or GELPAKTM. It is optionally equipped with a direct die feeder from diced wafer on frame capable of handling thin die. A tape and reel feeder is also available for device loading.

The loading robot operates in parallel with the bonding process module contributing to a significant reduction in the dry cycle time. When required, the FC300R makes use of up to three pre-alignment and inspection optics subsystems in the robotic feeding area to ensure proper pick up of tiny components like laser diodes.  Image processing is available for a wide variety of recognition functions such as pattern search, synthetic pattern generation, calipers, edge detection. It also provides contrast enhancement.

“As the FC300R has recently been ordered by a major global semiconductor company, for 3D bonding applications, SET is proud of confirming its technological leadership by providing cutting-edge bonding solutions to the semiconductor industry. By working closely with our customers, SET has raised process development, automation and flexibility of its high accuracy bonders to the highest level,” said Gilbert Lecarpentier, Director of Marketing & Business Development.

The FC300R can be equipped with an optional ultrasonic bonding head. A high force bonding head equipped with a confinement chamber which reduces oxide on bumps and bonding pads can also be installed. This configuration is especially interesting for Cu-Cu bonding applicable in 3D-IC integration.

Thanks to its unrivalled flexibility, the FC300R is able to support various applications on the same platform with a quick process-head reconfiguration:
