KIC Explorer is a thermal profiler with a miniature-TC harness design. Said to move easily through restrictive process dimensions; incorporates high-temperature rated components; has 12 thermocouples. Reportedly provides highest sampling rate available and greater memory capacity. Measures slope, peak temperature, time above liquidous and the Process Window Index statistic. Manual prediction capability comes standard. Auto-Focus is optional.

Hysol QMI708 die attach paste has been formulated specifically for small die on copper leadframes. Has been developed to attach die 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm and smaller in QFN and SOIC packages. Said to be highly conductive, with low bondjoint resistance. Reportedly dispenses quickly with no tailing; is simple to set up, and allows for a wide dispense window.

The Peltier series Thermoelectric Temperature Controller controls fluid temperature of adhesives, sealants, lubricants and other materials in meter, mix and dispensing systems. Uses Peltier-Seebeck effect to directly convert electrical voltage to thermal differentials. This effect, which is reversible, is said to either heat or cool fluid materials with precision to the temperature set point. Device, temperature sensor and temperature control are mounted to a manifold where fluid passes through. Manifolds can be mounted inline or on fluid dispensing equipment. May also include accessories such as fluid pressure sensors, fluid pressure gauges and inlet and outlet flow control valves.

EasyPro3D programming software is said to offer simplified inspection-routine parameterizing, a fully IPC-compliant LIB2007 inspection library, and a newly designed repair station. A shortened parameter list reportedly allows high-inspection quality and low false alarm rates. A reworked standard delivers compact, preset, IPC-compliant parameter sets, reducing the number of parameters that need to be adjusted by a reported 75%. Contains nearly 1,600 component types. Automatic Parameter Optimization can now be used with nearly all inspection algorithms. The repair station contains a ”ValidCompare” mode. For every defect image recognized, another defect-free image is offered. Includes integrated “TrustedChange” verification.

SEMTest is a configurable stress-screening system able to perform lifetime testing of power semiconductors and modules incorporating IGBT, MOSFET, SCR, diode and bipolar parts. Is said to be ideal for manufacturers and users of power semiconductors who want to qualify commercial off-the-shelf devices for use in high-reliability applications. The core is a flexible architecture that can be modified. Standard systems can be configured from 20 to 1000 test cells; larger systems are available on special order. Each cell features its own local controller to set and monitor applied or UUT power and other test parameters; has a measurement unit for temperature, current, voltage, and timing.
