Akrometrix Launches New Warpage Metrology System
June 29, 2017 | Akrometrix LLCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Akrometrix, LLC, the leading provider of thermal warpage and strain metrology equipment to both the front- and back-end semiconductor and electronics industries, is pleased to announce that it has launched its newest warpage metrology system – the Tabletop Shadow Moiré (TTSM) system.
“Over the years, many of our customers who are using our systems for thermal warpage metrology have stated a need for an ultra-fast, highly accurate room temperature warpage metrology system,” stated Mayson Brooks, Akrometrix President. “Additionally, they wanted a system that was small enough for a tabletop operation and that would allow them to utilize all the software features of our thermal warpage systems, only at room temperature.”
The TTSM meets this demand – enabling customers to measure warpage of substrates up to 300mm x 310 mm (a 300mm wafer or two JEDEC trays) with the entire measurement taking less than two seconds. Whether individual parts or a JEDEC tray of multiple parts, the TTSM provides an ultra-fast and highly accurate measurement at room temperature that is suited for tabletop use.
About Akrometrix LLC
Akrometrix is the leader in thermal warpage and strain metrology for the front-end/back-end wafer, back-end packaging/assembly, panel and the PCB/component markets. The company provides both capital equipment and test services to measure warpage and strain in temperatures from -50°C to 300°C on virtually any substrate up to 600mm x 600mm, regardless of shape. Located in Atlanta, Georgia, Akrometrix has been serving customers worldwide for more than 20 years based on technology developed at Georgia Tech. For more information click here.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
