" DEK, a British supplier of electronic manufacturing equipment, recently showed a completely different side of the electronic manufacturing industry from the traditional image at the semiconductor exhibition held in Shanghai. Relying on the original Galaxy and Photon platforms, the company brought the solution of semiconductor wafer-level printing machine. Shen Huipan, general manager of DEK China, made it clear that this year's business will focus on the semiconductor field. In addition, BTU, a supplier of alternative energy processing equipment, also opened a photovoltaic technology innovation center in Shanghai Waigaoqiao during this period, in which the production line equipment displayed was based on PVP 1200 screen printing machine provided by DEK. There is no doubt that DEK is ready to diversify its business and is making great strides in the fields of semiconductors and solar energy. The flexible solution approaches DEK's semiconductor booth, and the most striking thing is three devices: a Galaxy printer, a photon printer and wafer processing equipment (provided by CHAD) that can be used with it. The first thing to introduce is the wafer back printing scheme based on photon printer. The data provided by DEK shows that the scheme adopts DEK's high-speed synchronous pattern recognition technology and mature high-quality absolute position encoder technology. The former can help to reduce the time of reference point alignment and circuit board positioning, while the latter can accurately repeat the printing of wafer-level chip-level packages and 0 1005 components. Shen Huipan, general manager of DEK China, said that the advantage of photonic platform is its high flexibility, which is also reflected here. Shen Huipan said that this scheme can support the printing of various liquid materials including epoxy resin and glue. "There are at most 3-5 known printing materials. But with the development of technology, the needs of manufacturers are also changing. " He said, "When the manufacturer proposed to print a new material with different viscosity and other characteristics, the equipment manufacturer had to improvise. Obviously, photons have done this. " In 2004, DEK announced the launch of Yinhe micron-scale high-end screen printing machine at China Semiconductor Exhibition. This exhibition is a semiconductor ball planting scheme using DirEKt printing technology. Shen Huipan said that at present, customers can carry out mass production of planting balls with a diameter of 0.25mm or less (such as 0. 17mm) based on this equipment. He further stated that his company has realized the production of 0.07 mm diameter laboratory ball planting based on Galaxy Printing Machine. "But in view of the particularity of the semiconductor industry, we need to further study the yield problem." He said. The wafer processor provided by Chad is placed between the above two printing machines-this processor can count the number of wafers and complete the final positioning according to the manufacturing requirements, whether it is backing or ball planting. "The wafer processor is actually a manipulator," said Shen Huipan. He said that this kind of equipment was exhibited together mainly to reflect the value DEK brought to electronic manufacturers in terms of high flexibility. "With the advancement of technology, the requirements for equipment in the electronics manufacturing industry are constantly changing. They may have such a request today and have such a request tomorrow. Obviously, a single-function machine cannot meet the changing requirements of users. " Shen Huipan explained, "This is the value of DEK-the same printing machine, with different configurations, can achieve different functions, such as covering or planting balls." Being close to customers as a latecomer, we must have different strategies if we want to make a difference in the semiconductor field where experts gather. Shen Huipan said that DEK's approach is to "get as close as possible to customers and understand their latest needs". In fact, these are also reflected in the company's product line configuration-in addition to large-scale equipment, this time they also have a wide variety of process support products (PSP) lines. Shen Huipan introduced DEK's four screens and the supporting VectorGuard screen frame system. Platinum screen, gold screen, silver screen and 3D screen are the four main screens that DEK promoted in this exhibition. Although the purpose of this trip is mainly to promote semiconductor manufacturers, such as Photon and Galaxy, these four screens can also be used for SMT equipment. In terms of cost and accuracy, platinum screen bears the brunt. According to Shen Huipan, this kind of screen is very suitable for wafer planting with a spacing of less than 0.3 mm above 8 inches. "Of course, it can also be used for planting balls with a spacing of 0.5 mm and 0.6 mm, but there are already many devices that can meet this point. Only by achieving 0.3mm can we give full play to the advantages of platinum mesh. " He said, "No matter the angle, size and accuracy of the opening, we can make it very small to meet the ball planting process below 0.3mm-we have seen the ball planting process of 0.07mm in the market. In fact, only platinum mesh can meet this process requirement. Of course, its price is also higher. " It is reported that with the continuous reduction of ball diameter and ball spacing, the screen between sieve plate holes is getting smaller and smaller, which puts forward requirements for the material of sieve plate. And this is the advantage of platinum mesh plate. Both gold mesh and silver mesh are made of nickel, and the difference lies in the processing method-the former is electroformed mesh obtained by electrochemistry, and the latter is obtained by mechanical cutting of nickel plate. Shen Huipan pointed out that the smoothness of the hole wall of the latter is slightly inferior, but its advantage is that the processing time is much shorter than that of the former. "Customers can choose between time and performance according to their actual needs," he said. However, he also admitted that if the acceleration can be reduced as much as possible when demoulding, manufacturers can get better product performance even if they use a silver screen. However, the price paid for this is that "Silverscreen's advantage in time has disappeared." It is reported that the cost difference between Jinping and Silverscreen is 6 times. "But if the added value of the product is large and it can be mass-produced, this gap can be completely digested." Shen Huipan said. If there are already chips on the printed substrate, how can manufacturers screen print without damaging the existing chips? The answer is DEK's customizable 3D web service. It is said that this is also a screen plate obtained by electrochemical principle. For customers who choose this technology, DEK can also customize special metal scraper for them. In addition to the screen board, DEK did not forget to promote its VictorGuard screen border technology. It is said that the detachable screen plate with this screen frame can not only prevent the screen plate from falling off due to the corrosion of the solvent during cleaning, but also save a lot of space and reduce the inventory cost when storing the screen plate. Shen Huipan pointed out that although the cost of this framework is relatively high, considering the future storage, manufacturers can fully absorb this cost. It is said that this technology has occupied the global 12% market. "As a patent of DEK, we are also trying to contact other network board suppliers in the market to sell patent licenses and expand the market of this technology." Shen Huipan said, "I hope it can become a development trend of screen technology." In addition to expanding semiconductor business in Zhang Zhilu, DEK also announced the cooperation with BTU International to develop a low-cost manufacturing system for solar cells at the 22nd European Photovoltaic Solar Congress held in September last year, thus starting the pace of expanding into the emerging solar energy field. Not only that, the company also plans to further expand the new factory in Shenzhen, which was just put into production last August. "The production capacity of the Shenzhen factory was originally designed to be 25 units/week, and now the production capacity has reached 22 units/week." Shen Huipan said: "The space of the Shenzhen factory is already very tight, which proves that our business is very good. We are already considering buying new land near the Shenzhen factory to build a factory. "
