  1. Hummink | Pushing The Boundaries of Microbump Fabrication: The HPCaP Approach


Sahar Al Kamand | April 2024


High aspect ratio microbumps are vital in packaging applications, yet typical methods lack the control needed for dimension. HPCAP (High Precision Capillary Printing) Technology addresses this, offering high control over microbump fabrication & exceptional versatility in dimensions & materials. Based on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) , HPCAP simplifies complex microbump manufacturing into a single-step procedure. During this presentation, we will delve into the workings of HPCAP technology. Our aim is to provide a detailed exploration of how this groundbreaking technology facilitates the creation of microbumps. Furthermore, the presentation will underscore the vital role that HPCAP technology plays in both packaging and semiconductor repair applications.


In this presentation you will learn the following:


  • The working principle of HPCaP

  • The macro resonator

  • Capillarity is the only driving force

  • Adding a new dimension to printing

  • Gaps at the submicron scaleunmatched precision & accuracy in EHD, Inkjet, UPD, HPCaP

  • Common sense physical boundaries in rheology & drying, particle size, surface energy




 


  1. Elephantech | Making the world sustainable with new manufacturing technologies


Masaaki Sugimoto | March 2024

  1. Fuji Corporation | Innovation in electronics by integration of additive manufacturing and SMT


Ryojiro Tominaga | Berlin 2023

In recent years, 3D printer technology that can manufacture bare PCBs using digital printing technology for both conductors and insulators has been developed. However, it is essential to optimize the SMT process in accordance with the transformation of the bare PCBs manufacturing process for the practical application of this technology. Fuji will introduce a novel machine that combines the additive manufacturing process of bare PCBs and low-temperature SMT technology optimized for this purpose.


In this presentation, you will learn about Low temperature SMT and Fast and smooth data flow


  • Integrated machine of AME + SMT

  • AME capability establishment of specific SMT process suites for AME

  • Target interconnect structure and Ultra low temperature SMT process

  • Direct flow from designing to manufacturing

  • Fast testing cycles utilizing FPM-Trinity and the data flow
