Koh Young Returns to SEMICON West with New Inspection Solutions
June 13, 2023 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Koh Young, the industry leader in True3D measurement-based inspection solutions, is pleased to announce its return to SEMICON West with a new series of inspection solutions designed to increase advanced package and semiconductor yield. Several of our latest inspection machines will be on display during SEMCION West in booth 329 from 11-13 July 2023 in the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA.
The need for optical inspection in advanced package and semiconductor assembly arises from an increasing device complexity, high quality and reliability demands, process yield optimization, industry standard compliance, and cost reduction efforts. Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP), the technology of packaging a die while still on the wafer, is considered the next generation packaging technology, because it meets several of these criteria, yet many traditional inspection solutions fall short of delivering the capabilities required for success.
Building on our award-winning, industry-leading inspection technologies, the Koh Young Meister Series delivers True 3D measurement-based inspection for ultra-thin solder, wafer bumps, balls, and components. Manufacturers can maximize yield without increasing costs by detecting defects at the wafer level with accurate inspection.

- Revolutionary full 3D height and tilt measurement capability for even highly re?ective die surfaces
Neptune C+ Award-winning True3D Underfill and Coating Inspection with Thickness Measurement
Using UV light for presence or localized thickness inspection inherently limits accuracy, and applying a traditional laser approach is all too localized and simply takes too long in a production environment. Plus, these options only provide 2D results. The revolutionary Neptune C+ provides the ultimate solution to these and more challenges.
- L.I.F.T. (Laser Interferometry for Fluid Tomography) for non-destructive inspection
- True3D measurement-based Profiling of wet or cured materials
- Measures coatings, underfill, epoxy, bonding, glue, and more

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
