After nine years, ViTrox eagerly returns to SEMICON West 2023 with great excitement. We will be co-exhibiting with Malaysia Pavilion, led by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). This year, our technical experts will be there to reveal the advancements in Back-end semiconductor Vision Inspection Solutions - the Tray-Based Vision Handler – TR3000i and the Post Seal Vision Handler – VR20i G2. Besides, we cordially invite customers and visitors to experience the extraordinary showcase of the V510i Advanced 3D Optical Inspection (AOI) Solution for Advanced Packaging. This is the latest AOI Solution to tackle the inspection challenges of the semiconductor segment.
The Tray-to-Tape & Reel Vision Inspection Handler –TR3000i is a cutting-edge solution for emerging industries like 5G, IoT, Automotive, and Industry 4.0. Capable of handling various IC package types and identifying defects like WETQFN, SiP, Lid Gap, and more, the TR3000i boasts high-speed inspection, automated reject sorting, and low maintenance cost. With advanced vision technologies and agile mechanical design, the TR3000i achieves complex 3D, 2D, and 5-sided vision inspection requirements.
ViTrox’s Post Seal Vision Handler – VR20i G2, which is specifically designed for reel-to-reel inspection with tape width ranging from 8 mm to 32 mm. With advanced visual inspection capabilities and enhanced automation mechanisms, the VR20i G2 reduces production downtime and human error, while minimising machine idle time. Featuring multiple vision systems and advanced vision technology breakthroughs, VR20i G2 performs various inspections, providing comprehensive and quality inspection results. It can process over 130K UPH for 2mm pocket pitch and over 80K UPH for 4mm pocket pitch carrier tape, guaranteeing higher throughput and greatly reducing the return on investment (ROI) period.
The all-new V510i 3D AOI solution for Advanced Packaging, also known as ViTrox’s V510i Semicon AOI, is innovated to provide a wide range of inspection capabilities, catering to both SMT and Advanced Packaging applications. It features breakthrough technologies such as a full segment lighting system for extensive test coverage of all surface types, including die with a highly reflective surface. It also features a Surface Defect Inspection (SDI) algorithm for various types of surface defect inspection, such as scratch, foreign materials, and contamination. Complemented by the lighting module and motorised z-height, measurements can also be extracted by the Smart Measurement feature, providing CMM-like capabilities. The V510i 3D AOI is also SECS/GEM ready. On top of being well-implemented with in-depth Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Smart Technologies, our AOI is also IPC-CFX-2591 Qualified Products Listing (QPL) validated.
