The Burn-in & Test Socket (BiTS) Workshop will take place March 7–10, 2010 at the Hilton Phoenix East/Mesa Hotel in Mesa, AZ. More than 30 papers and posters will be presented; participants include end users and suppliers of sockets, boards, burn-in systems, handlers, and packages; and other related equipment, materials, and services. The TechTalk session on PCB design, fabrication and assembly is booked full, as is the tutorial on RF socket characterization by Gert Hohenwarter, Ph.D. of Gatewave Northern Inc. Here are some of the show highlights.
Wire bond inspection system maker Viscom introduced software tools for its very high resolution (VHR) camera module, which has the ability to provide exact measurements of balls and wedges. With this technology, 25-µm gold thin-wire wedge sizes can be measured with a standard deviation of 1 µm. In addition to inspecting qualitative characteristics of wire bonds, balls and wedges statistical evaluation and trend analysis of critical geometric dimensions can also be performed in the production process.
