Axiom X-1022 Dual-Lane dispensing system maximizes throughput during multi-pass underfill operations. Increases the number of units per hour (UPH) produced in high-volume semiconductor applications such as flip chip and CSP underfill. Allows parallel processing on two lanes for continuous dispensing, eliminating lost time in non-dispensing activities. In some applications, a 60 to 80% increase in throughput over single-lane dispensers can be achieved.
Dual-lane capability allows underfill flow-out in one lane while jetting underfill in the opposite lane. Eliminates wait-time by enabling two dispensing processes at the same time.
The conveyors are independently controlled, allowing different-sized parts to be processed in lanes one and two. Programmable flat-belt, dual-lane conveyor allows for a variety of process carriers, including Auer boats, lead frames and custom carriers. Conveyor is SMEMA compliant with a fixed first rail and adjustable second, third and fourth rails.
Configured with up to six stations of contact or impingement heating, three stations per lane: pre-heat, dispense and post-heat. The heat stations ensure consistent substrate heating at specified ramp rates for efficient, reliable fluid dispensing.
Fluidmove for Windows XP software offers advancements in throughput, fluid management and process control. For example, the board or substrate is sensed in the pre-dispense station and the associated dispensing program is automatically loaded.
Mass Flow Control and Calibrated Process Jetting control the critical aspects of the fluid dispensing process in a closed feedback loop.

Model 3500-III flexible, computer-controlled work cell performs adhesive dispense, component placement, die attach and flip chip operations over a 720 sq. in. work area. Applications include flip chip, stacked die, chip-on-board, fine pitch SMT, MEMs devices, multichip modules, microwave modules, optoelectronic modules and hybrid microcircuits.
Capable of automated eutectic die attach using backside metalized die or preforms, and enables bonding of thin die with air bridges using 2 or 4 sided perimeter collets. Pulse heat process controls the heat throughout the entire process from temperature ramp up to cool-down.
Using look-up and look-down cameras for flip chip applications and relative-to referencing for linear micro-strip line placement, the sub-micron axis resolution yields placement repeatability of better than ±12 micron (0.5 mil), 3 sigma with fluids, ±5 micron (0.2 mil), 3 sigma with pulse heat eutectic applications.
Placement of the die in relation to a previously placed die can also be tightly controlled through custom automation algorithms.
Machine base is a honeycomb core optical table that provides vibration damping and thermal settling response. Large work area. Cantilever design permits unobstructed, open access on three sides for set-up. Soft touchdown or non-contact laser height sensing mechanisms assist in pickup and placement of fragile devices. Eight-position turret head can rapidly change tools on the fly without a tool dock assembly. Constructed from an optical breadboard where parts can be bolted down in a myriad of configurations, so any form of presentation such as expanded wafers, waffle or gel packs, tubes, or tape and reel may be used and options for up to three dispensers, hot rails, heat cure stations, hot gas, UV fluid curing systems, and more can be incorporated.
Has infrared light curtain around the open perimeter of the assembly cell. This sends an infrared signature down each inch of the perimeter so that it cannot be fooled by background thermal radiation. When the system is in operation and the safety curtain is violated, the system immediately (within ~ 3 millisec.) shorts the inputs to the digital servo driven motors, stopping all motion.
Uses Windows XP.

GÖPEL has developed a new option in its System Cascon software suite to support Altera’s USB-Blaster download cable. The driver integration of download cable in the software suite enables the USB Blaster download cable to be used as a native JTAG/boundary scan controller throughout the entire product life cycle.
USB-Blaster can also be used to program Flash devices in-system and configure Altera FPGAs via the Jam Standard Test and Programming Language, JEDEC standard JESD-71, Simple Vector Format specification or IEEE-Std.1532 specification. Additional software support for boundary scan chain designs with multi-drop devices is automatic, including all scan router devices by Firecron, National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments.
All test and in system programming procedures generated with the download cable are cross-compatible with other JTAG/boundary scan controllers by GÖPEL, including the hardware platform SCANFLEX.
Support is included for no additional charge beginning with release 4.3. Customers can purchase the USB-Blaster download cable through Altera distributors.

SinguLign enables the high accuracy mass imaging of multiple materials such as solder paste, solder spheres, flux and adhesive onto singulated substrates or components directly from the carrier, allowing the accurate processing of known good parts down to 20 mm in size.
With an accurate printing platform, specialized tooling, a carrier and a miniaturized print or ball placement head, repeatable and precise deposits can be applied to parts individually. The carrier, which can hold multiple substrates, is transported into the printer where a vacuum tower raises the first substrate or component to print height, secures it in place and aligns the substrate. The substrate is then imaged with the appropriate material for the specific application and is gently lowered back into the carrier. This sequence is repeated for all of the parts and then the carrier is transported to the next process step.
The tooling and parts handling mechanisms allow for maximum print support and enable high-speed processing times for individual parts – as little as 20 sec. for ball placement and less time for other print processes. Said to deliver increased accuracy through the ability to align to substrate features (not package edges); enables ultra fine pitch imaging, providing yield improvement driven by the capability to process only known good parts and supports multiple processes, depositing paste, flux, solder spheres or adhesive. Allows for imaging onto substrates or pre-packaged, 3-D components; permits easy re-deployment for other packaging processes.
Gives packaging specialists the ability to align and image multiple substrates and components at ultra-fine pitch individually.
