This device is specifically designed to maximize the degree of automation of the mounting process for structured or bumped wafers. Only the pure handling is kept manually to safe cost, footprint and ensure equipment longevity. In fact, the V-300H does not consist of any electrotechnical actuators which guarantees maximum MTBF and no periodic consumables. Customers who choose this equipment pay attention to:

  • a proper contact between the tape and around the structures (bumps) on the wafer
  • a high degree of process repeatability and independence of human errors 
  • the wafer must be uniformly brought into contact with the tape over its entire surface (no transversal movement)
  • a device which does not require any adjustment for different wafer thicknesses

Operation


It is important to understand, that the V-300H requires a frame to be mounted with a tape beforehand. That can be done on a Manual Wafer Mounter P-300 or any other frame mounter on the market. Once that is prepared, the wafer and the mounted frame are placed into the V-300H chamber by still keeping a gap between the wafer surface and the tape. Once the cover is closed, the V-300H will evacuate the chamber to approximately 3 mbar and then automatically bring both, the wafer and the tape into contact with each other. By applying vaccum, a bubble free and perfect mount is ensured. Finally, the chamber can be opened and the mounted wafer on tape with frame can be retrieved. Parameters such as pressing force, vacuum level, timing can all be adjusted via HMI on the device itself or the heat controller.   

Flexibility


A special strength of the V-300H is its modular design. The exchange of chucks for different wafers can be done within less than 1 minute. There is no height adjustment necessary of the chuck. It is important to note that different wafer sizes do not always require a different chuck to be used. Besides the standard heated chuck, ask about our wide range of customized chucks of any special shapes. The V-300H operates independently of any specific type of tape, so long as it is intended for heated processes.

FAQs


Can I have my samples tested by a V-300H at POWATEC?
YES. If you are seriously interested in acquiring a V-300H, but would like to have it tested with your own samples first, then we can offer a free sample testing at our facility. We also support you in the selection of suitable tapes/films, offer free dicing or UV curing, and support you to select the most suitable V-300 model for your needs. Furthermore, as a proof of record, we can offer a live stream or video recording to document your samples being processed with the V-300H. Alternatively, we are more than happy to welcome you to visit our facility for an in-person demonstration. 

Does the V-300H also mount the tape to the frame?
NO. To use the V-300H, it is necessary to first mount the tape to the frame. It is therefore recommended to have either a POWATEC Manual Wafer Mounter (P-300), or a Frame Mounter (FM-300). However, any other wafer mounter on the market should be able to prepare the tape on the frame. 

Do I need a separate chuck for each wafer size?
YES. However small differences in the wafer size (+/- 2 mm) can be handled with one type of chuck. But for different wafer sizes such as 6", 8", 300mm a dedicated chuck is necessary. The exchange of the chuck is done within seconds. 

What is the minimum wafer thickness the device can support?
The minimum wafer thickness on the standard device is 80µm, however, with minor adaptations there is no limit to the minimum thickness of a wafer that can be mounted.

What is the maximum thickness of the wafer?
With the standard heated chuck it is possible to mount wafers up to 3mm in thickness and structures/bumps with a maximum height of 170µm. Larger dimensions are possible with a simple customized design.

Do I need to make adjustments for different wafer thicknesses?
NO. No adjustments are needed, which is a great advantage of the V-300H.

Does POWATEC offer chucks for square wafer / glass substrate / multiple substrates at once / very small wafers or fraction of wafers?
YES.

Is it possible to mount Taiko or Bumped wafers with the V-300H?
In principle, yes. However, this depends on the tape, so we recommended customers to contact POWATEC to schedule a free sample test to evaluate the V-300H and our Semi-Automatic Vacuum Taiko Wafer Mounter V-300T.

What has to be done by the operator?

  1. Place the wafer and the mounted frame in the V-300H chamber
  2. Close the chamber and press start
  3. Open the chamber when the process is finished and retrieve the wafer on tape and frame
