INTLVAC ICARUS INDIUM BUMP DEPOSITION SYSTEM
The Intlvac ICARUS Indium Solder Bump Deposition System is optimised for high throughput production, with low maintenance and quick turnaround on parts. From pushing the "Go" button to pulling out a finished wafer with 2µ of spit-free coating takes less than 90 minutes with our automatic single carrier load-lock design. A load-lock cassette system can reduce this time even more.
The Intlvac ICARUS Indium Deposition System has the capacity of hundreds of depositions without the need to open the main chamber. When it is time to refill the indium, it only takes a few minutes to exchange the empty indium crucible with one that is pre-charged. Note the evolution of Intlvac's technology with superior precision and uniform deposition front.
ICARUS can handle any size and shape of wafer up to 200mm in diameter, with custom carriers designed to meet the need of the product. Standard carriers handle 3 x 75mm, 2 x 100mm, 1 x 150mm, with options for witness pieces and 200mm without.
AUTOMATIC LOAD-LOCK
The Intlvac ICARUS Indium Solder Bump Deposition System comes equipped with either an automatic or manual load-lock for single and multi-wafer configurations. The load-lock is designed to transfer and pre-condition single wafers up to 200mm. The load-lock chamber has a wafer cleaning position to facilitate the removal of light surface contamination, oxides and water vapour from the wafer without physically etching it. Once the wafer is cleaned, the carrier transfers it into position.
SUPERIOR DEPOSITION CONTROL
The Intlvac ICARUS Indium Solder Bump Deposition System geometry ensures a very flat and uniform deposition front for superior 'lift-off' capability. This tool provides the environment and deposition control to achieve the thickness, fill and material properties for a variety of successful solder bump designs.
INTERNAL DEPOSITION SHIELDS
The Intlvac ICARUS Indium Solder Bump Deposition System shield and chamber have been designed to maximise reclamation with strategically positioned and easily removable internal deposition shield. Maintenance is easy with removable liners that can be swopped out and replaced with the spare set that come with the system.
