• MARPOSS Demonstrates P3IFIR Gauge for Measuring Wafer Thickness at SEMICON West (Jun 30, 2023)

  Marposs, the world leader in measurement and process monitoring technologies, will demonstrate its P3IFIR for measuring wafer thickness at this year’s SEMICON West Convention in booth #1733. A replacement for traditional non-contact gauging (NCG), the P3IFIR combines the company’s P3 in-process amplifier line (commonly used in back grinding, lapping and CMP operations) with an interferometric (IF) probe for robust in-process measurement capabilities.

  Precisely measuring and controlling the thinning process in semiconductor manufacturing is critical for several reasons. For example, the characteristics of a semiconductor device are significantly affected by the thickness of its various layers. Any deviation can alter its electrical characteristics, affecting the performance of the integrated circuit (IC) where the device is located. Further, any inconsistencies can lead to defects that reduce manufacturing yield, costs, and lead time.

  The gauge uses interferometric technology where light sources are reflected off the surface boundary of the measured object and combined to cause interference. Users are then able to identify the layer dimension, which optimizes the overall measurement of a specific material.

• MARPOSS Demonstrates Ball Grid Array Inspection Solution at SEMICON West (Jun 30, 2023)

  Marposs, a world leader in measurement and process monitoring technologies, will be displaying its Ball Grid Array (BGA) inspection solution using a Solarius Phoenix workstation at this year’s this year’s SEMICON West Convention in booth #1733. The BGA system utilizes the company’s Chromaline MPLS Controller and WireView non-contact line sensor head—together with newly-developed NanoView technology—for fast, accurate measurement of the distance and thickness of the various “bumps”, ensuring they meet target requirements.

  A type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits, BGA packages are used to permanently mount devices such as microprocessors and graphics chips. They provide a large number of interconnection points in a small space, which simplifies the task of connecting the device to the rest of the system, but fast, accurate inspection of these connections is critical.

  The Chromaline system, utilizing chromatic confocal technology, is the optimal solution to produce high-accuracy bump measurements, verifying correct placement and geometry of these crucial mounting positions. The system is easy to use and has proven to be both reliable and durable, without concerns over reflectivity or poor lighting conditions.  It can gather to 360,000 measured points/second and capable of identifying the most subtle variation in shape with high resolution and linear error of only 0.1 μm. It can work with frequencies up to 2 kHz in standard mode, and even 6 kHz with a reduced sensor measuring range.

  The Confocal Principal
  With chromatic confocal technology, white light is split into different spectra using lenses focused on an object through a multi-lens optical system. The lenses are arranged to create and send a chromatically aberrated beam to the target. The target reflects the optical beam back to the probe where it transmits the reflected optical beam to a spectrometer. The reflected optical beam is comprised of rays coming from the outside surface of the object being measured and from the internal surfaces that the beam is able to reach.

  The reflected light intensity is at a maximum for the wavelengths focused on the surfaces. Electronic processing can then determine the intralayer thickness values of the target, or the distance from the probe to the outside surface and to the intralayer surfaces of the target.

  Complete information about the  Chromaline MPLS can be found at https://www.marposs.com/eng/product/chromaline-sensor or by contacting Marposs Corp. at (248) 370-0404 or emailing marposs@us.marposs.com

• Marposs Acquires Solarius and Strengthens Its Semiconductor and Consumer Electronics Segment (Jul 11, 2023)

  MEDIA RELEASE

  Marposs Acquires Solarius And Strengthens Its Semiconductor And Consumer Electronics Segment

  The Silicon Valley based company Solarius becomes part of the Marposs Group, strengthening the technology of the Italian multinational company in the semiconductor industry

  San Francisco, Calif. and Bentivoglio (BOLOGNA), July 11, 2023 – At Semicon West 2023, Marposs, the world leader in measurement and process monitoring technologies, announces the acquisition of Solarius Development, a leading provider of high-tech manufacturing solutions for the Consumer Electronics and Semiconductor Industry. Both segments are of strategic importance for Marposs growth and diversification.

  Established 22 years ago and with headquarters in the California Silicon Valley, Solarius has a strong presence in the USA and Asia; namely China, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. Solarius also inaugurated a Technology Center in Germany in 2018, dedicated to the Research and Development of control systems for the production of semiconductors.

  It has recorded sales of more than US $12 million in 2022 with solid profitability and returns and employs around 26 people within the USA (Silicon Valley), China (Shanghai), Germany (Munich and Essen).

  Solarius provides engineering, application and manufacturing expertise covering the entire lifecycle from design to installation, commissioning, training, application support, repair and maintenance of precision systems for non-contact surface inspection, measurement, analysis and visualization. Its solutions combine high-resolution sensors with automated data acquisition systems and powerful analysis software tools. Key applications include electronic devices (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches), semiconductors and energy fuel cells.

  As part of the Marposs Group, Solarius will gain access to a worldwide distribution network and greater availability of resources and technologies, ensuring greater solidity and growth opportunities.

  Marposs Group, already a world leader in measurement, inspection and testing solutions for the production environment, continues its M&A strategy by exceeding 30 acquisition operations. Marposs has been present in the USA since 1963 and has had an operating office in Silicon Valley for over twenty years. The Group is already a supplier for companies that produce semiconductors with grinding systems for silicon wafers and enclosures for smartphones.

  With the purchase of Solarius, Marposs further expands its range of solutions for optical measurement into other phases of the production process including the “back-end” phase. In particular, it offers solutions for customers operating in the consumer electronics, green energy and in the semiconductor sector, an industry that is in constant growth, due to its fundamental role in the digital technological evolution and towards e-mobility.

  “This operation is perfectly in line with our Group strategy,” stated Stefano Possati, President of the Marposs Group. “Thanks to its position in Silicon Valley, the level of technology and the talent of the whole team, Solarius has developed very important synergies with large companies operating in the electronic devices and information technology industry, already working at co-design and prototyping phases. We intend to support the growth of Solarius with our resources and our experience because it is a company with excellent prospects.”

  Commented Peter Joshua, President of Solarius Development Inc., “Solarius has long been at the forefront of implementing new and emerging technologies targeted at providing unique solutions to ever demanding metrology challenges. Joining the Marposs Group is the next step in the evolution of the company; the combination of engineering talent and international resources will significantly strengthen the solutions and systems we will be able to provide to our customers. We are looking forward to contributing to the growth of the Marposs Group in both existing and new strategic markets.”
