CyberOptics Corporation will present at SEMICON Taiwan at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center on September 17 at 12:10 p.m. The company will also exhibit at the show in booth # L0310.
Tim Skunes, VP of R&D at CyberOptics, will present the technical paper ‘High precision sensing technology for semiconductor inspection and measurement applications.’ The semiconductor packaging industry continues to advance, with new designs adding more layers, finer features and more I/O channels for higher bandwidth and lower power consumption. In addition to the increased complexity, shiny and mirror-like surfaces present inspection challenges.
For wafer-level and advanced packaging inspection and measurement, CyberOptics will demonstrate the new proprietary NanoResolution Multi-Reflection Suppression (MRS) sensor technology that meticulously identifies and rejects multiple reflections caused by shiny components and mirror-like features. Effective suppression of multiple reflections is critical for highly accurate measurements.
Offering an unparalleled combination of high accuracy, high resolution and speed, MRS sensors are widely used for inspection and measurement in the SMT, semiconductor and metrology markets. The new 3-micron NanoResolution (X/Y resolution of 3 micron, Z resolution of 50 nanometer) MRS sensor enables metrology grade accuracy with superior 100% 3D and 2D measurement performance for features as small as 25-micron.
Further, it is two to three times faster than alternate solutions in the marketplace. With data processing speeds in excess of 75 million 3D points per second, the NanoResolution MRS sensor delivers throughput greater than 25 wafers (300mm) per hour. 100% 3D and 2D metrology and inspection can be completed simultaneously at high speed, versus an alternate, slow method that requires two separate scans for 2D and 3D, and only a sampling of a few dies of the 25 wafers.
This best-in-class MRS sensor technology is ideally suited for the inspection of solder balls and bumps, copper pillars, and other wafer-level and advanced packaging applications where high precision and speed are needed to improve yields, throughput and process control.

06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
