The laser can be precisely con- trolled and is high- ly repeatable, pro- viding a highly focused heating zone. Its process speed results yield solder-grain size reduction and in- termetallic oxide formation. PRO-MATION Inc., Kenosha, Wis., www.pro-mation-inc.com.
SEMICONDUCTOR ASSEMBLY & TEST SERVICES (SATS)
Package Test Technology
Developed as an alternative to traditional contac- tor methods using spring pins for test sockets, the Quatrix photolithographic package test technolo-
gy uses a single plane of contacts without moving parts to offer repeatable dimensional placement tolerance and electrical performance in meeting the most aggressive roadmaps for package tests. Advanced photolithography techniques result in precise, flexible contact geometries with 3- to 4- µm repeatability. With lower touchdown force between the contacts and the package, Quatrix test sockets eliminate problems associated with
the high combined forces encountered in high- pin-count applications for chips with high-den- sity I/O. Kulicke & Soffa Industries Inc., Willow Grove, Pa., www.kns.com.
