PHOENIX, AZ – FlipChip International and Engent have formed an alliance to accelerate the development and deployment of 3-D Wafer Level CSP (WLCSP) technologies for highly integrated stacked die packaging applications. This technology may enable packaging solutions that are quicker to market and lower cost than system-on-chip alternatives.
The partnership couples FCI’s high-volume, ultra-fine pitch wafer bumping capabilities and 2-D Wafer Level CSP package portfolio with Engent’s abilities in advanced surface-mount and flip-chip assembly technology. The flexible technology platform emerging from this partnership supports a range of ultra-high volume IC packaging applications including Silicon on Silicon, GaAs on Silicon and SiGe on Silicon as well as 3-D integration of emerging integrated passive device technologies and MEMS devices for System in a Stack solutions.

Solderite, a provider of Pb-free soldering solutions, introduces the Solderite 3500 Lead-free Soldering Station. The patents incorporated in the station were filed and granted to design a superior lead-free soldering station.
Features remote-controlled temperature programming; pre-set temperature settings can be varied for specific temperatures. Comes standard with automatic tip temperature compensation, standby mode and automatic off functions. Includes a quick calibration mode that allows operators to test the true soldering tip temperature and calibrate temperature, if needed.
The company’s "power on demand per demand" technology reportedly ensures that the specially designed electroplated tips deliver an outstanding life cycle.
