The Path Ahead
What are you paying the most attention to as we enter 2025? Find out what we learned when we asked that question. Join us as we explore five main themes in the new year.
Soldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.

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."

Managing Energy Flow with Proper Stackup Design
02/13/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007At Design Con 2025, I had the opportunity to speak with Dan Beeker, technical director at NXP Semiconductor, about his technical session, which focused on optimizing PCB layers to best direct signal and power supply energy between these layers. In this interview, Dan discusses the complexities of board stackup and the significance of understanding dielectric layers for effective signal transmission. Dan is something of a “fields evangelist,” spreading the word about the need for designers to focus on fields, not just circuit theory. Toward the end, Dan summed up much of the design segment: Designing something that didn't make it break is not the same thing as designing it correctly.
