UH130Semi-automatic die matrix expander

The UH130 automatically expands the adhesive tape so as to present the dies in an evenly spaced parallel matrix to facilitate pick-and-place or die bonding operations, adapt to all wafer/film frame up to 300 mm.Thanks to ultra-precise control of the separation process, it allows a higher throughput and increased efficiency in the treatment of micro-components.
UH130 equipment facilitates this by maintaining the orientation of the dies and a constant spacing thereof. It is compatible with a wide range of frames (and therefore wafer sizes) as well as all types of adhesive films (standard, UV, extra-adhesive, etc.)

Technical specifications:

• 8" and 12" compatible
• Pneumatic cylinder with speed control and 2.3" adjustable stroke (cylinder height)
• Motorized circular cutting assembly
• Emergency stop with manual clamp
• Chuck heated and temperature controlled digitally with thermistor
• Adjustable stroke stop, allowing constant repeatability of expansion
• Plexiglas protective cover, antistatic
• Precisely controlled die separation distance for consistent repeatability
• Alignment markers allow easy and precise placement of the film frame
• Reduced alignment times and increased throughput of automated processes
• Convenient: tabletop system, easy to use
• Operator variables virtually eliminated

Options:

- Motorized circular cutting set
- Possible ring/ring version

UH114Manual wafer / frame film mounter

The UH114 are manual wafer film mounting systems up to 12".
For dicing/sawing applications, uniform lamination of an adhesive plastic film is essential. Our machines feature a set of easily adjustable spring loaded rollers as well as film tension bars along the X and Y axes to ensure bubble-free lamination of the film onto the wafer and frame. Additionally, these models feature a shrink film cutting system with adjustable cutting pressure to accommodate different tape base materials and thicknesses.

Roller pressure is adjusted to meet different process requirements and to accommodate different wafer thicknesses. This moves manually along the substrate once the film is stuck. A digital temperature controller ensures consistent temperatures on the chuck for repeatable mounting.

Adjustable alignment brackets and suction cups fit almost all types of film frames including plastic ones. The chuck height is also adjustable relative to the frame height for different wafer thicknesses.

Technical specificities:

- Available in 6", 8" or 12" version
- Adapter to make 6" on 8" machine or 8" on 12" machine possible
- Protective film winder roller assembly for use with film with support layer
- Easily adjustable spring roller assembly
- Uniform film tension
- Uniform adhesion allows for bubble-free lamination
- Circular cutter (wheel type) to cut the film on the film frame
- Adjustable cutting pressure for different films (thickness/hardness)
- Temperature-controlled digital screen
- Chuck height adjustable from top of unit
- Works with film without support or with support (optional)
- Fits wrapped protective film/layer externally or internally.
- Adjustable alignment pins and suction cups
- Accepts all types of film (specify type and size)
- End cutter for film separation
- Anti static electricity system

APPlastic grip-ring

Used to maintain the adhesive tape during dicing processes or typically after the tape expansion, the plastic rings is composed of a pair (inner and outer ring) made of polycarbonate (Lexan), a strong a light fiberglass material.

- They can hold the expanded plastic film and the dies largely separated for a safe picking
- Available for wafers up to 300 mm

F20UV dicing tape

Microworld offers a UV sensitive tape series for wafer dicing applications.

- PVC based film with UV sensitive adhesive
- Good and homogeneous expansion after dicing in order to separate the dies for a safe picking
- The UV features allow a high adhesion while dicing and a low adhesion after UV curing for picking
- Backing layer
- Packaged in roll hermetic packing (metallized sleeve)
