Lunch & Learn - ONSHORING DILEMMA - Challenges in Toolset Deployment for Domestic OSAT's Advance Packaging Operations in the US with Rey Alvarado

The Details:

 This tutorial outlines the key activities involved in bringing up new tools, from selection to qualification, using a hypothetical scenario of a start-up OSAT company establishing operations in the U.S. Beyond equipment and staffing, defining the process baseline for specific semiconductor applications is a critical challenge.  This PDC course will look at milestones on all Tool Buyoff process once a domestic OSAT facility has decided what equipment to purchase and review how to undertake process baselining definition. It will look at the different tool sets used for advance packaging process of the assembly line - What it takes to Qualify the tools, the materials and the overall process required to run the particular tool sets and materials. It will also present case scenarios of what type of challenges a given US start-up company will have to confront compared to other overseas OSAT companies which have established their own Legacy.
