SonoSimulator software is now a standard feature on Gen6 C-SAM acoustic microscope. Determines optimal gate positions and other parameters; results in high-quality acoustic images. Can create a virtual die stack that matches the characteristics of the physical 3D IC or die stack to be inspected, including defects at specified layers. Virtual defects help determine optimum placement of gates to image specific levels in the stack. Imaging parameters are then transferred to the Gen6 Sonolytics software and used to image the physical 3D IC or die stack.

Lab Model 9600 C-SAM acoustic micro imaging system is designed to serve as a general-purpose tool for laboratory/failure analysis work or for low-volume production inspection. Incorporates Sonolytics software. PolyGate analysis software is standard; images multilayer or bulk materials. Permits setup of up to 100 individual gates per channel for a sample. Produces a separate acoustic image for each gate in a single scan. Each gate may be as thin as 20 µm. Employs a linear motor for x-axis scanning, a tower mounted scan reference platform, and is rated for Class 1000 cleanroom operation.

Multitest Plug & Yield is for test of 3D packages. Consists of Multitest InStrip3D, a test interface board and a contacting solution based on vertical spring technology. Is used for electrical test of partial stacks during assembly of a mobile SoC. Meets requirements of partial stack test with respect to sensitive bare dies. Uses load board for fine-pitch, high layer count PCBs to support this 0.4mm pitch array application in a high pin count multisite configuration. Accommodates increased forces from the dense pogo array of approximately 6000 pins.

ReMovl board-level shield incorporates ReCovr attachment mechanism applied to pickup bridge of BLS frame, allowing permanent, tool-less detachment of bridge after frame is soldered to PCB. Raised pickup bridge option permits clearance above components during placement and reflow. For manufacturing processes where post-reflow detachment of pickup bridge is beneficial/required. Has 0.080 in. height (min.), 0.071 in. top flange width, and 0.5-1.0 lb. typical pull force.

FX800 fume filtration system extracts and filters vapors and fumes associated with conformal coating and fluid dispensing processes. Is plug and play; does not requiring ducting; features adjustable airflow (speed control), flow control and brushless motors. Flow control automatically increases speed of the motor as the filter blocks. With adjustable speed control, motor does not have to constantly run at 100%.
