• The Asterion^TM – a single platform hybrid wedge bonder with the capability to handle a multitude of interconnect materials including large and small aluminum wire, copper wire, PowerRibbon^TM, as well as aluminum copper-clad ribbon. In addition, the Asterion’s interconnect bonding technology has recently been extended to battery applications.
• The iFlex - its new design features an increase in feeder capacity, achieving 25% more feeder positions. Combining this increased feeder capacity, with the high volume and high quality iX system delivers the Flexline, which offers best-in-class flexibility, fast changeovers, lower cost-of-ownership and the lowest defect rates.
• The Hybrid - a multi-application solution for advanced packaging with one of the industry’s lowest defect rates and highest throughput. It delivers placement accuracy up to 7µm, making it ideal for wafer level packaging, Fan-Out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP), System-in-Package (SiP), Multi-chip module (MCM), flip-chip, modules and embedded components. Having evolved from the high speed AX/iX product family, the Hybrid is highly capable of placing both active and passive components with a single platform.
• The IConn^PS ProCu PLUS_TM – a ball bonder with the new ProCu5 process offering the highest level of Copper Process Capability available, with added controls and improvements. ProCu5 enables robust wire bonding production for advanced node wafers with 28 nanometer or below. In addition, it has the capability to bond silver alloy wire with ProAg feature and aluminum fine wire with wedge-to-wedge feature.
