(September 13, 2005) Migdal Ha’emek, Israel — Camtek Ltd. is introducing three new Falcon wafer AOI system models at SEMICON Taiwan, currently happening from September 12–14 in Taipei. The new models include Falcon 800 for 3-D metrology of gold- and solder-bumped wafers, Falcon 500PD for post-dicing wafer inspection, and Falcon 500 for general wafer inspection before or after test. The Falcon 800 model employs CTS, Camtek’s own triangulation height measurement technology — key to its 3-D performance.
