FALIT® Laser Applications
Materials in the Semiconductor Industry
It adapts to the widest range of epoxy mold compound and various types of fillers, keeping gold, silver, brass, or aluminum bonding wire, the silicon, GaAs, InP die undamaged.
If you’re not sure if your material will work, send it in for a free material testing study by our application experts.
Laser Technology Refined
This application can fully or partially replace traditional micro-drilling, sawing, and chemical etching processes. The FALIT® provides fast and accurate solutions for IC de-capsulation, cross-sectioning, and de-lidding, expose the insides from ceramic, KOVAR, gel, and mold compound capsulation, expose defective bonding wires, observe solder ball mid-position and lamination cracks, and more evidence of failure.
Versatile Laser Machines
With the FALIT® laser micromachining technology, users can easily resolve the many challenges in IC chip failure analysis of new packaging patterns and material. This system significantly saves setup and processing time, and the cost of building infrastructure for expensive acid protection labs.
Non-destructive decapsulation without acid
