BTU International Exhibiting in SEMICON West Smart Manufacturing Pavilion
June 25, 2019 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing and alternative energy markets, today announced that it will have a Pryamax 100A at the SEMICON West Smart Manufacturing Pavilion. The event is scheduled to take place July 9-11, 2019 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. The smart manufacturing data-sharing will be enabled by Cimetrix’s Sapience product which runs on the SECS/GEM framework. BTU has supported SECS/GEM protocol for many years and is well-versed in this standard.
Today's explosive growth in data is driving enormous demand for new technologies to analyze and leverage it. At the SEMICON West Smart Manufacturing Pavilion, you'll see and experience data-sharing breakthroughs that are creating smarter manufacturing processes, increasing yields and profits, and spurring innovation across the industry.
BTU’s Pryamax platform is the leader in thermal processing for semiconductor packaging applications such as flip chip reflow and die attach. Pryamax is uniquely suited for these applications due to its superior thermal uniformity and repeatability. In nitrogen capable models the Pyramax boasts the lowest oxygen levels in the peak heating zones enabling the highest yields for these critical process steps.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
