Progress In Wafer And Package Level Defect Inspection
By Anne Meixner - 09 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The technology to enable sampling and the need for more metrology and inspection data in a production setting have aligned just in time to address the semiconductor industry’s newest and most complex manufacturing processes. In both wafer and assembly manufacturing, engineering teams have long relied on imaging tools to measure critical features and to inspect for defects after specific pr... » read more

X-ray Inspection In The Semiconductor Industry
By Chris Rand - 12 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

With the ever-present pressure to produce more efficient devices with more power, the sizes of the structures and electrical connections in the production of chips have become smaller and smaller. In addition, the sheer number of these connections in a given unit area have also increased in a spectacular way. At the heart of all X-ray inspection, whether it is manual or fully automated metrolog... » read more

Fluid Dispensing For Packaging Today’s Devices
By Nordson Test And Inspection - 12 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Fluid dispensing systems are evolving in order to address the challenges that system-in-package (SiP) and micromechanical systems (MEMS) packages face, especially in regard to tight geometries and assembly processes. These packages, used in smartphones, have become more miniaturized, and as a result, have created added value in the market. However, they include a variety of small dies or dev... » read more

X-ray And Acoustic Inspection
By Nordson Test And Inspection - 07 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

X-ray and acoustic imaging are two very complimentary tools for non destructively inspecting the quality of electronics components. Both techniques give information on different aspects of component integrity. Click here to read more of this application note from Nordson's Test and Inspection division.   » read more

Using Smart Data To Boost Semiconductor Reliability
By Laura Peters - 10 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

The chip industry is looking to AI and data analytics to improve yield, operational efficiency, and reduce the overall cost of designing and manufacturing complex devices. In fact, SEMI estimates its members could capture more than $60B in revenues associated through smart data use and AI. Getting there, however, requires overcoming a number of persistent obstacles. Smart data utilization is... » read more

SiC Growth For EVs Is Stressing Manufacturing
By Anne Meixner - 08 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

The electrification of vehicles is fueling demand for silicon carbide power ICs, but it also is creating challenges in finding and identifying defects in those chips. Coinciding with this is a growing awareness about just how immature SiC technology is and how much work still needs to be done — and how quickly that has to happen. Automakers are pushing heavily into electric vehicles, and t... » read more

Five Smart Ways To Improve EV Battery Production
By Muge Deniz Meiller - 06 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Batteries and battery management systems are the heart of today's electric vehicles. These components define the performance, safety, and driving range of more than 16.5 million1 electric vehicles currently on the road. As electric vehicle and battery manufacturers continue to look for ways to increase the efficiency and speed of their production processes, many turn to Nordson EFD for prec... » read more

3D Structures Challenge Wire Bond Inspection
By Karen Heyman - 09 May, 2023 - Comments: 1

Adding more layers in packages is making it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to inspect wire bonds that are deep within the different layers. Wire bonds may seem like old technology, but it remains the bonding approach of choice for a broad swath of applications. This is particularly evident in automotive, industrial, and many consumer applications, where the majority of chips are not de... » read more
