March 13, 2018 | Kulicke & Soffa Industries Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Kulicke & Soffa Industries Inc. has officially opened its China Demo Center in its Suzhou manufacturing facility. K&S Suzhou was established in 2002, spanning over 17,000 square meters, encompasses the company’s equipment software and process engineering, R&D as well as production lines for consumables products such as capillaries, blades and wedge bonding tools.
The 1,200 square meters Demo Center houses a broad assembly line of the latest K&S solutions, including RAPID Pro GEN-S (Smart) Series ball bonder, OptoLux ball bonder for LED and APAMA DA (Die Attach) equipment. Customers can now visit the site for demonstration of the end-to-end surface mount technology (SMT) solution and to develop rapid prototyping setup from screen printing, soldering paste inspection, pick-and-place to automated optical inspection (AOI) systems. Besides the SMT solution, a full assembly line of K&S CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) solution is anticipated to complete in the next few weeks. The new China Demo Center also includes equipment repair and refurbishment facilities.
"The opening of Kulicke and Soffa’s China Demo Center marks another significant milestone for the Company. It further strengthen our strong collaboration with customers and industry partners to develop and drive next-generation packaging solutions in response to the industry's emerging opportunities," said Fusen Chen, Kulicke and Soffa’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

PCB Surface Topography and Copper Balancing Under Large Form Factor BGAs
10/01/2024 | Neil Hubble, Akrometrix and Gary A. Brist, Intel CorporationAs CPU and GPU packages grow larger and contain higher pin/ball counts, the importance of managing the printed circuit board (PCB) surface coplanarity for package assembly increases. The PCB surface coplanarity under a package is a product of both the global bow/twist of the PCB and the local surface topography under the package. In general, the surface topography is dependent the choice of material and layer stackup and the interaction between the innerlayer copper patterns and prepreg resin flow.
