NBS represents the Left Coast for the following products:
FocalSpot Real-Time X-ray systems:
FocalSpot systems are affordable, compact, easy to use systems for quick IC inspection in FA labs
Sonikon Scanning Acoustic Microscope:
Sonikon is a new player, offering an affordable system with superior performance over competitors.
Phase Contrast X-Ray Imaging & 3-D Tomograhy from XRT:
The PCX system represents a revolutionary new way to perform projection x-ray imaging. With XRT's patented phase contrast technology, images are sharper than was possible with conventional absorption contrast images; furthermore, the PCX system is ideal for imaging light-element materials, taking x-ray imaging into a new generation of product inspection capabilities, for applications that were previously off limits to x-ray methods. 3-D x-ray tomography is now possible (and encouraged), providing virtual image sectioning and volume analysis of voids, porosity and defects, within the object being imaged.
RKD has developed an acid etch chip decapsulation system that leap-frogs the competition with powerful new capabilities, and is being sold at a much lower price!
New capabilities include:
- peristaltic pumping for accurate volumes and a longer pump lifetime (test at 25 million cycles)
- real-time transducer monitored active pressure system adds performance in the following ways:
-
- keeping the system free from cloggs in the waste line
- using much less acid per part, up to 50% less sulfuric
- providing a much faster etch, up to 5x faster for sulfuric
- touch keypad with easy instruction software is operated remotely from the instrument in the fumehood
Many more capabilites are offered that make this rise above the previously avalable technology
Micro-milling tool from RKD:
The micro-mill provides the ability to make fixtures in your own lab at a fraction of retail costs. Ask Ray Eby for a free cost analysis of ROI for this use alone. The micromill tool also allows you to back-thin parts.
NanoPrep tool from RKD:
The NanoPrep, an upgraded micro-mill, provides capabilities for precision backside thinning & polishing.
near-IR inspection microscope from Reltron:
A quick, easy, low-cost system aimed at use for examination of defects in polymer-based biomaterials and devices, and for F/A inspection of back-side thinned IC's. The NIR-1000 system frees up time on your more expensive tools, and also makes accurate thickness measurements of films transparent to IR light.
Electroluminescence inspection microscope from Reltron:
Developed from the NIR-1000 system, this ICS-100-EL inspection tool is an effective way to do both R&D and in-line Q/A inspection of solar PV cells. EL methods are a lower cost, more accurate way to test PV cell efficiency than are existing methods for simulated lighting.
Probe Card Cleaning and Conditioning System from Nucent:
The PCCC system can provide an ROI in less than 1 year. Imagine being able to clean your wafer probe cards quickly, efficiently and cheaply! This process allows you to re-use your probe cards much more often before replacement. The PCCC will increase yields and lower Cres.
