Creating "chips" innovatively and intelligently

In the wave of technological advancements, semiconductors, as the core driving force, are reshaping the world at an unprecedented pace. In the face of various challenges faced by the semiconductor manufacturing industry, Festo, a global automation company with a century-long history, has always adhered to a dual-wheel drive of technological innovation and exceptional quality, injecting new momentum into the development of the semiconductor industry. SEMICON China, the world's largest semiconductor exhibition, will grandly open at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from March 26th to 28th. This time, with the theme of "Innovating Together for Chip Success, Intelligently Manufacturing Value," Festo will showcase a series of advanced automation solutions and innovative industrial applications, helping semiconductor manufacturing enterprises to forcefully break through in the "chip" wave. We sincerely invite you to visit our booth at the exhibition to engage in face-to-face exchanges with us and jointly explore the limitless possibilities of semiconductor development.

Basic Information of SEMICON China Exhibition

Highlights of Exhibition

Advanced Packaging Solution

Application: Advanced packaging process

Highlights：

The IC chips on tray are transported to the glue coating area for coating. The coated IC chips are then transported to the hot-pressing station through the conveyer for heat curing, pressing and bonding of the product and glue. Closed loop force control is used. The module can accurately control the pressing force and protect the IC chips, greatly enhancing the overall reliability and productivity of the advanced packaging process. With support of Festo AX, it can easily monitor cylinder health rate, providing intelligent production for the semiconductor industry.

Core technology:

  • 1 valve terminal VTEP controls all pressures that all applications required. We can also use VEAB as alternative solution.
  • Pick and place application to control vacuum with high accuracy and also detect the failure of the suction cup
  • Glueing application to show high accuracy of air pressure supplying for glue
  • Pressing application to show high accuracy of pressing force
  • With support of AX, it can easily monitor cylinder health rate

Lift-cup Synchronized Cylinder Control Solution

Application: Wafer wet cleaning station

Highlights: In the wafer wet cleaning station, the piezo valve VTEP accurately controls the synchronized movement of multiple low-friction cylinders to achieve continuously adjustable speed and position during the lifting up and down of the large-size wafer cup, preventing the cleaning solution from splashing out or remaining and avoiding cross-contamination. The precision and stability of the cup control directly affects the cleaning effect.

Core Products:

  • Valve terminal VTEP : Piezo technology for precise pressure control
  • Cylinder DFM : Low friction version, Synchronization of several cylinders
  • Position transmitter SDAT : with position feedback, cylinder position control by means of position transmitter
  • CPX-E controller : High-performance control and automation system focusing on motion control functions for handling technology
  • Space-saving application by means of pneumatic components instead of electric solution

Special Gas Treatment Solution (Gas cabinet)

Application：Semiconductor Front-end Facility process (Gas cabinet application)

Highlights:
