The systems will allow the customers to advance semiconductor device fabrication at the packaging stage. They will support the customers to overcome a broad range of integrated circuit (IC) challenges.

Kronos 1190 is designed to offer inline process control for advanced wafer-level packaging process steps and the ICOS F160XP performs inspection and die sorting after wafer-level packages are tested and diced.

The ICOS T3/T7 Series are designed to address varying inspection needs throughout the packaging assembly process.

KLA Electronics, Packaging and Components (EPC) group executive vice-president Oreste Donzella said: “Process control across all stages of packaging manufacturing, from wafer- to component-level process steps, becomes more critical as innovations continue to advance packaging technology.
