Challenge
Integrate a next-generation bonding process into a compact, wet, 300 mm platform
The OEM needed to implement multiple bonding technologies into a small-footprint, wet environment platform. Wafer cleaning, drying, alignment, and joining mechanisms had to be robust, non-particle generating, and fully compatible with the wet processing conditions. Speed and precision were critical to win a high-stakes “head-to-head” customer evaluation.
Innovation
Comprehensive wet-process automation and sub-system integration
We collaborated with the OEM to productize lab-proven processes, developing:
- Chamber architecture optimized for cleanliness and compact footprint.
- Alignment, cleaning, joining, and drying mechanisms designed for wet, particle-sensitive processing.
- Airflow and fluid management strategies to exceed cleanliness requirements.
- Full software integration and system-level control for coordinated operation.
Result
System successfully wins critical customer evaluation
The fully integrated wafer bonding system delivered to the customer met all process, cleanliness, and operational requirements. The system’s performance enabled the OEM to win the “head-to-head” evaluation, unlocking a significant revenue opportunity.
