Packages upgrade bonder performance
Palomar Technologies is making available bonder performance upgrade packages for its CBT6000 and Model 8000 automatic wire bonders and the Model 3500 component placement work cell.
Ball bonder emulates wedges
Wedge emulation technology makes a ball bonder a viable and flexible alternative to a wedge bonder.
Palomar Technologies received the award in a ceremony held on 12th July 2006 during the Semicon West trade show in San Francisco, California.
This is the second consecutive year, and the third time, that Palomar has won this award.
The Model 3500-II is designed for fully automatic, high accuracy, precision microelectronics assembly.
The flexible, computer-controlled work cell performs adhesive dispense, component placement, die attach, and flip chip operations over a spacious 0.46m2 work area.
Using look-up and look-down cameras for flip chip applications and relative-to referencing for linear micro-strip line placement, the 3500-II submicron axis resolution yields typical placement accuracies of better than +/-12 micron, 3-sigma.
Applications include flip chip, stacked die, chip-onboard, fine pitch surface mount, multi-chip modules, microwave modules, and hybrid microcircuits.
Palomar's team, including some of its most experienced engineers, consistently improves this multifunctional, multidimensional, flexible tool to push the limits on speed and accuracy.
The Model 3500-II represents the latest development in Palomar's long history of manufacturing automatic placement systems.
Beginning with the Model 2500, the technology has grown and evolved into what is now the dynamic and highly customisable Model 3500-II that Palomar continues to improve.
A new generation system, the Model 3500-III is ready for introduction.
"Advances in semiconductor technology are only possible because of the kinds of products being honoured in this year's Editors' Choice Best Product Awards programme", said Pete Singer, Editor-in-Chief of Semiconductor International.
"Chipmakers rely on these products to create electronics that are smarter, smaller, faster, less expensive, and more reliable".
"We congratulate the people and the companies that have had the insight and fortitude to bring these products to the market".
