Palomar Technologies

A solid investment for maximizing component assembly productivity – from R&D to volume automated die bonding, including eutectic, epoxy and flip chip processes. The highly flexible Palomar 3880-II is ideally suited for complex hybrid packages, MEMS devices, implantable medical systems, optical modules and RF microwave devices. The 3880-II utilizes an 8-position bi-directional tool turret enabling a 250ms tool changes on the fly. The 3880-II machine is unique in its ability combine highly a reliable eutectic and epoxy set of processes in a single application, with mutliple die types, components and package sizes at work.  

The 5100 is a programmable vacuum/pressure furnace that creates void-free solder joints without the use of flux, resulting in high reliability electronic components. This system allows for heating up to 500°C and cooling in an inert gas environment from vacuum levels below 50 millitorrs to pressures up to 40 psig. Process heating is provided over the entire work area by a close-coupled planar infrared heating element. The machine's built-in formic acid delivery system to reduce surface oxides for high quality wetting. Formic acid is a two-temperature step operation which reacts with the surface oxides at low temperature and then decomposes at higher temperature, leaving a pure metal surface for optimal solder reflow. The run analyzer tool provides ability to graphically review data from logged profiles and export data. This includes real-time display of the thermal and pressure profiles as well as the ability to aid in process development by helping identify plating or material changes in your products.
