What it is

The SUSS MicroTec FC 250 is a die bonder used in packaging and bonding.[2][3]

How it works

The FC 250 uses optical alignment, a bonding arm, and heated chucks for flip-chip style attachment.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The FC 250 sits in back-end packaging and assembly rather than front-end wafer fabrication.

The FC 250 is suited to align, place, and bond chips to substrates for device assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of interconnect materials can this class of machine support?General reference — not yet source-verified

Depending on the setup, it can support solder bump interconnects, plated copper pillars, gold stud bumps, or conductive adhesives.

Why is flip-chip bonding used instead of traditional wire bonding?General reference — not yet source-verified

Flip-chip bonding generally provides shorter interconnect paths, higher input/output density, and improved electrical and thermal performance for advanced packaged devices.
