MLA 300 is increasing production capacity for wafer-level packaging providers.
Flexible designs, high throughput, uniformity, and yield are the basic requirements in the semiconductor industry. The MLA 300 Maskless Aligner meets all of these requirements and more, with its capability to expose a tailor-made design on each substrate to match the actual die locations. Unlike a fixed mask, the design data can be tailored and augmented before exposure, enabling yield improvements by compensating for line width bias due to processing or loading re-mapped designs that include die shift. In addition, serial number labeling and other dynamically generated, unique patterns can be added to each exposure.
The MLA 300 is optimized for industrial volume production and features distinct benefits such as full automation. The flexibility of maskless lithography allows rapid design customizations, even unique designs on each substrate, which can be updated automatically. This is particularly useful for chip packaging where mounted die shift due to the curing of a reconstituted wafer or panel. The MLA 300 system seamlessly integrates into wafer-level packaging production lines, fully automating production with a resolution down to 2 μm lines and spaces. Customers benefit from reduced production costs and efforts by eliminating mask procurement, verification, and management requirements. Operating costs are reduced by utilizing a long-lifetime exposure laser and fewer consumables. The modularity enables fast maintenance, replacement, or repair. Real-time autofocus compensates substrate warp or corrugations for flawless patterning.
