HSC/LCD bonding system and hot bar reflow catalog

This four-page, full-color catalog describes a repair system for applications ranging from heat sealed connectors (HSC) and LCD bonding to hot bar reflow. The BondMaster system aligns the radio, pager, or any other type of display array and the interfacing board via a universal fixture that enables the two parts to be positioned under a temperature-controlled bonding board. A PID controller automatically provides temperature, pressure, and time to bond. The BondMaster is available in both 110-V and 220-V versions. Also contained in the catalog are charts, graphs, and thermal flow profiles for different bonding applications, as well as a listing of features and specs.

SIMS analysis tool brochure

This full-color brochure describes the capabilities and applications of an analysis tool for focused ion beam (FIB) workstations. The SIMSmap III provides high lateral resolution elemental analysis for defect review, process monitoring, failure analysis, and particle diagnostics by integrating a quadrupole mass spectrometer on the same vacuum chamber with the FIB column. This tool also provides improved chemical-specific, high-aspect ratio endpoint detection capability for deep probe hole milling. SIMS data are generated in parallel with normal FIB milling functions and are available in the form of elemental maps, depth profiles, and mass spectra. This information is useful in determining the source of particle contamination in semiconductor processing. FEI Co., Hillsboro, OR; ph 503/640-7500, fax 503/640-7509.
