Inline printer puts BGA bumps on 300mm wafers
Ekra has released the X5-WAF, a new inline wafer bumping system.
The aim is to optimise existing products, and to create new solutions in joint development.
At the same time, Ekra will recommend this wide-ranging portfolio of Heraeus' SMT materials as the preferred choice and will use it in conjunction with its printing machines.
Ekra will also use Heraeus SMT materials in developing new equipment.
Roland Heynen, Executive Vice President of Ekra, understands this partnership agreement with Heraeus as an important milestone.
"Our philosophy is to offer our customers highest possible quality with improved efficiency - all these under the priority of low and optimised costs.
Our clients will only have benefits from the fact that our best-in-class printing machines and best-in-class materials from Heraeus are applied in combination.
The apparent results will be a better quality of board assemblies, minimized time-to-market and an optimum cost-performance ratio, and - last but not least - a remarkably reduced burden on environment".
The two companies will be appearing together at Apex in Anaheim, California (29th March to 2nd April 2003), SMT Nuremberg (6th-8th May 2003) and Productronica in Munich (11th-14th November 2003).
