What it is

The EV Group 540 is an automated wafer bonding system for permanent bonding applications.[2]

The EVG 540 is a semi-automatic bonder for wafer sizes of 6 inches and 8 inches, and the named bonding modes are anodic bonding, fusion bonding, and adhesive bonding.[1][3]

How it works

The EVG 540 has a single-chamber architecture, automatic handling for up to four bond chucks, a loading chamber with a two-axis robot, and a maximum bond force of 350 kN.[2]

The EVG 540 is compatible with SmartView and MBA300.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The EVG 540 is positioned for pilot-line manufacturing and research and development for high-volume manufacturing in wafer-level packaging, 3D interconnect, and MEMS applications.[2]

Applications

The EVG 540 is used for wafer-level packaging, 3D interconnect, and MEMS applications.[2]

The EVG 540 supports anodic bonding, fusion bonding, and adhesive bonding on substrates up to 300 mm, with a maximum heater size of 300 mm.[2]
