Aligner Bonder
The DS-107 aligner bonder is an ultra-high precision assembly platform designed to align, place, and attach bare die, components and packages. The system is ideal for alignment accuracy of 1 to 2 microns and bond forces from 5 g to 100 kg. It also can handle die up to 50 x 50 mm and substrates up to 33 x 33 mm. Applications include optoelectronics, die bonding, flip chip and MEMs attach, and CSP assembly.

Signal Integrity Software
SIwave software is designed to meet the growing demand for quick and accurate signal and power-integrity analysis of IC packages and PCBs. The software enables engineers to model PCB and package structures by using a full-wave analysis engine to generate both frequency- and time-domain results. Its hybrid, finite-element techniques allow designers to characterize simultaneous switching noise, power and ground bounce, resonance, reflection and coupling between traces and power/ground planes.

Adhesive Films and Preforms
A new line of 100-percent solid adhesive films and die-cut preforms eliminate problems associated with solvent-borne adhesives, such as residual solvent outgassing that can affect bond line integrity because of voiding. The increased thickness of 75 mils allows the materials to be used as underfills, encapsulants and in gasketing applications.

Heat Sinks
Therma-Vent heat sinks use enhanced fin technology to increase the heat sink surface area and create turbulent airflow to disperse heat efficiently. The heat sinks offer reduced mass, less system volume, and lower costs over traditional extrusions and folded fin products.

Fusion Bond Cluster
The CL200 Fusion Bond Cluster is a fully automatic product tool with process control to clean, dry, align and bond in one closed chamber. The fusion bonder processes two substrates simultaneously while producing high yield and high throughput without post-clean contamination. The cluster enables high-yield fabrication of micromechanical devices, such as acceleration, pressure and temperature sensors, optical data processing devices, and microelectronic circuits.
