ASMPT Presents High-performance LED Die Bonder
February 18, 2025 | ASMPTEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ASMPT, the world's leading supplier of hardware and software for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, presents Vortex II, a high-performance die bonder for the production of mini LED displays, such as those used in the automotive industry.
“High-resolution, ergonomic LED displays in modern cars ensure drivers have all important and safety-relevant information in view at all times,” explains Jonathan Ku, Senior Director of Business Development at ASMPT. “This is where very small LEDs are used, which have to be assembled highly precisely and reliably – because customers from the automotive industry do not accept reworked products. It is exactly for such demanding tasks that we designed and developed Vortex II.”
Innovative bond head
The highly innovative die bonder can process Mini LEDs with a minimum size of 2 mil × 4 mil (50 µm × 100 µm), for example for direct view RGB LED displays with ultra-fine pitch. The machine uses a newly developed bond head with automatic delay-free XYθ correction. The precision of XY placement can achieve ± 10 µm @ 3σ, with a die rotation of ± 1° @ 3σ.
Highly effective bin mixing
Process stability and high one-pass rates, even at maximum throughput, are guaranteed by an automatic correction function combined with ASMPT's patented bond head technology. The light-up yield is up to 99.999 percent. Thanks to fully automatic RGB wafer handling, this enables one-stop production and highly effective bin mixing and therefore uniform screen colors.
Vortex II is also 'ready for Industry 4.0 system architectures' through automation with ASMPT's In-Line Linker System, which enables efficient material handling, a specialized system that allows seamless integration of high-precision bonding systems into automated manufacturing processes."

EV Group Achieves Breakthrough in Hybrid Bonding Overlay Control for Chiplet Integration
09/12/2025 | EV GroupEV Group (EVG), a leading provider of innovative process solutions and expertise serving leading-edge and future semiconductor designs and chip integration schemes, today unveiled the EVG®40 D2W—the first dedicated die-to-wafer overlay metrology platform to deliver 100 percent die overlay measurement on 300-mm wafers at high precision and speeds needed for production environments. With up to 15X higher throughput than EVG’s industry benchmark EVG®40 NT2 system designed for hybrid wafer bonding metrology, the new EVG40 D2W enables chipmakers to verify die placement accuracy and take rapid corrective action, improving process control and yield in high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
Advanced Packaging-to-Board-Level Integration: Needs and Challenges
09/15/2025 | Devan Iyer and Matt Kelly, Global Electronics AssociationHPC data center markets now demand components with the highest processing and communication rates (low latencies and high bandwidth, often both simultaneously) and highest capacities with extreme requirements for advanced packaging solutions at both the component level and system level. Insatiable demands have been projected for heterogeneous compute, memory, storage, and data communications. Interconnect has become one of the most important pillars of compute for these systems.

Labor Day: U.S. Federal Holiday
09/01/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007Today is Labor Day, a U.S. federal holiday that Americans celebrate on the first Monday of September each year. This marks the 131st anniversary of the holiday. In 1887, Oregon was the first state to make Labor Day an official holiday. In 1894, after the Pullman Strike, Congress passed a bill that recognized Labor Day as a federal holiday, and President Grover Cleveland signed the bill into law.
