Enhanced Capability
Hybrid Wedge Bonder
One Bonder, Multiple Interconnect Solution
One Bonder, Multiple Interconnect Solution
The Asterion
TM
EV (Extended Version) Wedge Bonder is built on a
reengineered architecture that includes an expanded bond area, new robust
pattern recognition capabilities and extremely tight process controls.
Together these deliver heightened productivity, bonding quality, and
reliability. The enlarged bondable area enhances flexibility and reduces line
integration costs. Asterion is driven by a precise new direct-drive motion
system that requires minimum maintenance and delivers high repeatability.
The graphical editor, multi-segment bonding, global parameter change, and
a library of new software features, make programming and optimizing
bonding process of complex devices relatively easier.
