MVP sees continuing orders for microelectronics and packaging-inspection systems

JULY 17, 2008--Machine Vision Products (Carlsbad, CA, USA; www.machinevisionproducts.com), a provider of automated optical inspection for the microelectronics, semiconductor, and SMT manufacturing industries, has received its 75th order for its recently introduced Ultra 850G packaging and microelectronics automated optical inspection (microelectronics AOI) platform. These orders reflect the success of this product in providing unique defect coverage and metrology in the flux, paste, die placement, component, and underfill processes.

"These multiple orders have shown our capability to increase yields across all aspects of the back-end semiconductor packaging processes and puts us ahead of our own projections for this market segment," commented George T. Ayoub, president, machine vision products. "More significantly, it affirms the value added by the Ultra 850G to our quality conscious customers. Clearly, the productivity, accuracy and reliability of the Ultra 850G have proven themselves in volume manufacturing, and we expect further rapid adoption of the Ultra 850G in these important market segments."

The Ultra 850G is the latest addition to MVP's line of AOI tools. The Ultra 850G is configurable to be deployed in all aspects of the packaging processes from Paste/Flux through the C4 assembly process, Die attach and finally at the Underfill process. The Ultra 850G integrates the company's easy-to-use programming tools and analytical process control tools in this platform. This convergence of technology delivers the best available combination of defect-detection capabilities, metrology for process control, and inspection throughput at a low cost of ownership.
