Vi TECHNOLOGY introduces the REVEAL Series, an Automated Optical Inspection equipment for the Semiconductor industry. This equipment will drastically decrease the ppm level of defective parts delivered to customers and improve manufacturing cost at the same time. This versatile AOI is able to detect various sizes of foreign materials or scratches and measure die positioning, rotation, tilt, and other parameters when required. REVEAL MEMS equipment will be demonstrated for the first time at SEMICON Taiwan 2009 from September 30 to October 2, Hall 1 Booth 520. At the same time, an innovative business model will be proposed through our Try and Share program. This program will show a clear measurement of the equipment benefits by allowing a customer on-site trial of the machine to evaluate it in the MEMS packaging assembly real production environment. With an affordable rental fee, there is time to evaluate the benefits of quality and cost reductions before making the decision to invest in the equipment. Vi TECHNOLOGY REVEAL MEMS solution, based on a 15 years of expertise in AOI, is an in-line thorough inspection machine for MEMS packaging processes. With high flexibility and best-automated inspection capabilities at production speed, the REVEAL MEMS Series contribute to decrease the assembly process costs and solve customers mission-critical issues. Semiconductor packaging processes are currently under high cost pressure. While no compromise can be done on production quality, the volume ramp-up of best-selling MEMS devices such as inertial sensors requires new ways of performing optical inspection, said Jean-Yves Gomez, Vi TECHNOLOGY CEO. By combining high inspection accuracy for micron-level defect detection and high production throughput, Vi TECHNOLOGY REVEAL Series provides a breakthrough solution to packaging processes. It enables the replacement of the costly and non-repeatable manual inspection. REVEAL MEMS Series help to maintain or improve production quality while reducing assembly costs, and we are seeing a great welcome for this new product in the industry, he added. www.vitechnology.com
