Akrometrix to Launch Ultra-Fast Tabletop Warpage Metrology System at productronica
October 16, 2017 | Akrometrix LLCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Akrometrix LLC will display its newest warpage metrology system in Hall A3 Stand 102/1 at productronica 2017, scheduled to take place November 14–17, 2017 at the Messe München in Munich, Germany. The new Tabletop Shadow Moiré (TTSM) system offers all of the software features of Akrometrix's thermal warpage metrology systems in a room temperature unit which provides full field-of-view measurement in less than two seconds.
Akrometrix is not only the industry leader in providing thermal warpage, but has optional modules for both DIC strain/CTE measurements and DFP for discontinuous surfaces. Utilizing a novel combination of both top and bottom heaters with shadow moiré, Akrometrix is providing temperature uniformity previously unattainable in the industry on a flexible/configurable platform.
The TTSM responds to the industry’s demand for an ultra-fast tabletop warpage metrology system. It enables customers to measure warpage of substrates up to 300mm x 310mm (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.

DELO Introduces UV-approach for Fan-out Wafer-level Packaging
10/25/2024 | DELODELO has developed a new approach for fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP). Its feasibility study shows: With the use of UV-curable molding materials instead of heat curing ones, warpage and die shift can be reduced significantly. Additionally, this leads to improvements in curing time and minimizes the energy consumption.

09/25/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamDirect-bonded copper (DBC) with a ceramic base is a commonly used assembly technology. While advantages include excellent solder crack compensation due to similar CTE values between component and substrate, the construction is fragile and therefore places limits on size and exposure to vibration. Small assemblies in basic shapes such as a rectangle can be done, although larger, more complex shapes become difficult.
Some Fundamentals of Tin-Bismuth Metallurgy and Electromigration
09/24/2024 | Prabjit Singh, Raiyo Aspandiar, Haley Fu, and L. A. SwaminathanNear-eutectic tin-bismuth alloy is a strong contender as the solder of choice for low-temperature electronic assembly applications. This article will describe the recent significant developments by the iNEMI project team on the understanding of the electromigration behavior of Sn-Bi solder which has a unique physical metallurgy and electromigration behavior quite different for that of Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder and other solders in common use today.
