Nordson Electronics Solutions Develops Panel-level Packaging Solution for Powertech Technology
June 17, 2025 | Nordson Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nordson Electronics Solutions, a global leader in reliable electronics manufacturing technologies, has developed several solutions for panel-level packaging (PLP) during semiconductor manufacturing. In one particular case, Nordson’s customer, Powertech Technology, Inc. (PTI) saw underfill yields improve to greater than 99% as they plan to transition from wafers to panels in their manufacturing operations. For details about this solution developed in late 2024 and 2025, download the case study here: Customer Success: Powertech Technology Inc. (PTI) Advances Panel Level Packaging with Nordson.
PTI, one of the world’s top OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) companies, worked with the Nordson applications team to set up a comprehensive PLP demonstration that achieved high-quality, void-free underfill results at scale, using the industry-leading ASYMTEK Vantage® Series fluid dispensing system, equipped with the ASYMTEK IntelliJet® Jetting system. Nordson’s precision technology mitigated warpage and optimized fluid flow while decreasing cycle time by almost 30%.
PLP offers a path to managing the complexity of larger die sizes and higher-density designs while maintaining manufacturability and cost efficiency as the semiconductor industry transitions from 300-mm wafers to panels. PTI is enabling PLP applications that are designed to meet the semiconductor industry’s growing demands to serve AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and chiplet-based architectures.
Underfill has been pivotal in semiconductor packaging since the adoption of flip-chips in the 1990s. As applications have become more demanding, particularly in high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and advanced architectures like flip-chip and 2.5D/3D ICs, the importance of underfilling to enhance mechanical reliability and thermal performance has grown. Since the beginning, Nordson developed innovations for underfill processes as the industry evolved from PC board, substrate, wafer, and now panel applications.
Nordson’s distributor, Jetinn Global Equipment Ltd., supported the advancements discussed in this case study by investing in demonstration equipment and providing expert technical support.
