Lambda

Packaging & Bonding Finetech Lambda family

Research Quality: 70% complete

The Finetech Lambda is a die bonder with sub-micron placement accuracy of 0.5 μm. The Lambda supports thermocompression and ultrasonic bonding technologies. The Lambda runs on Windows 10 Pro and includes a 50×50 mm heating plate.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

What it is

The Finetech Lambda is a die bonder used in packaging and bonding work.^[1]^[3]^[9]

The Finetech Lambda belongs to bonding equipment used to join substrates or dies by applying heat, pressure, or both.^[9]

How it works

The Finetech Lambda is configured for die-bonding work with fine placement and bond-force control, and the available configurations include a heating plate, side process camera, bond-line adjustment, fine theta adjustment on the bond head, and a bond-force module.^[1]^[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Die bonding sits in the packaging flow after device fabrication and before final package completion.

Applications

The Finetech Lambda is used for flip-chip and die-bonding work.^[9]

The Finetech Lambda appears in setups that include a heating plate with a gel or waffle-pack station, an inert or process-gas enclosure, a contact chip heater, and a substrate heater option.^[1]^[3]
