Sigma Lite low cost bond tester

Sigma Lite

The Sigma Lite is a low cost of ownership bondtester that grows with your company. It offers a low-cost entry point by giving up some of the above Sigma features. It is possible to upgrade to a full Sigma later.

Sigma automation

Automation

A Sigma is modular by design and comes with full automation capabilities. The Revolving Measurement Unit (RMU) houses up to 6 sensors that enables continuous testing. The software includes vision and deep learning technology to eliminate human errors. 

Single measurement unit

Single test heads

You can also equip the Sigma with single heads for shear (SMU) or for Push and Pull (PMU). All test heads come with the same specifications as the RMU in terms of maximum forces and accuracy. There is no need to readjust the microscope when you do switch cartridges. They all share the same test point.

Full automation

Eliminate human error and save production costs.

Handlers

Robotic handling ensures safe load and unload of applications and avoids handling error and damage. We offer handlers for:

  • Wafers (EFEM)
  • Waffle trays
  • Magazines

Easy programming

The open Sigma software enables easy programming of total automation steps, positions, and commands. The automation editor employs camera visualization and intelligent wizards.

Smart vision cameras

See the unseen with up to 3 live camera options. Bring out the features of interest with images or videos using high-resolution cameras, flexible LED illumination, and fantastic image processing options.

Tool alignment

Precise tool alignment is essential to test the correct bonds correctly. We offer several solutions for perfect alignment:
  • Self-aligning shear tool
  • Deep access
  • Revolving Measurement Unit
  • Concentricity correction

Fiducial recognition

Define recognizable shapes, patterns, or marks as a global or local reference for positioning and automatic tool alignment.

Wire dection

Recognition of components and fine pitch wires that are swept out of position due to process tolerances or part handling.

Grading run

A Sigma offers 2 alternatives to make grading more efficient and consistent:

  • The operator does all the gradings in one step after a sequence of tests, using the microscope or an offset camera.
  • A Sigma can take it one step further and make automatic determinations of the failure modes (auto grading).

Auto grading

Automatically grade the failure modes of the test result images with grading assistance. Optical inspection calculates the area of bulk material remaining as a percentage of the whole.

Image measurement (AOI)

Detailed optical inspection helps you to perform image measurements or to identify the failure modes of the captured test results. For more advanced image processing, filtering, segmentation, and detection of shapes, you can use Automated Optical Inspection (AOI).

Data export

Improve data processing using automatic export and SECS/GEM for tracking and control.

Nano-precise
shear height control

The nano control shear sensor has a unique drive with a closed control loop within the shear sensor body. It improves the accuracy and stability of the shear height with a precision of 200 nm when testing critical applications such as wafer-level, coating, and lead frames.
