What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Die bonders place individual semiconductor die into packages or onto mounting substrates. The MCM part of the model name points toward multi-chip module assembly, in which several die are housed together in one package. A machine of this kind performs the die-attach step of assembly line production.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A die bonder of this class picks die from a wafer, tape frame, or waffle pack and positions them at defined locations. Alignment precedes attachment so each die lands at the correct spot. Attachment can be made with adhesives, solder, or other die-attach media. After placement, a bonder may apply force, heat, or both to complete the joint.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Die bonding is part of the packaging stage of semiconductor manufacturing. The bonder receives singulated die and a substrate, leadframe, or package base. Bonding happens before wire bonding and encapsulation, and after wafer dicing. For multi-chip modules, several die are sequentially placed during the same assembly step.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The MCM 12's designation ties it to multi-chip module assembly. Hybrid circuits, power electronics, and sensor packages are typical uses for this type of machine. Substrate materials commonly used include ceramics, laminates, and leadframes.
