Microwave curing

The MicroCure 5100 is a variable-frequency microwave system that cures standard polymeric adhesives and encapsulants. Proprietary variable-frequency technology greatly improves cure rates over forced convection systems, with a smaller footprint and with energy savings. Uniform energy distribution eliminates hot spots, while selective frequency targeting reduces stress due to thermal mismatch, resulting in improved interconnect reliability and increased yields. Applications include cavity dam and fill, glob-top, underfill, and bonding for die attach, BGA, MCM, chip-on-board/direct chip attach, and chip-scale packaging.
