Material

● Substrate Tape:

- Glass epoxy with 1 side or 2 sides metal layers (1 side metal layer for CB module and 2 sides metal layer for DIF module).

- Gold or Palladium plating on surface of contact side metal layer.

- Total thickness of tape: ~ 165μm

● Epoxy glue for chip attachment.

● Bond wire: Au Ø 24 μm(20-24 μm)

● Glob Top: epoxy glue

● Chip size :~max 3.5x3.5 mm with 150 μm thickness (chip thickness depending on final module design needed)

 

 

Module development possibility on WB Platform 

Wire Bonding platform is easily used to produce 3 major types of module package applied for smart card market: Contact Base, Dual Interface and Contactless.

● CB/DIF: Normally epoxy glass base substrate is used for CB(contactless base)/DIF(Dual Interface) module assembly from design perspective.

● CTL: Both metal lead frame and epoxy glass base substrate may be selected for pure CTL(contactless) module assembly

● There is constrain to develop ultra-thin and small size module on WB platform.

 

Processing Procedure

 

Contact/Dual-Interface IC Packaging Production Line

● Average Throughput: 22,000UPH

● Considering Factors:

- Mass production and More easier to enlarge capacity.

- Machine Backup to avoid production stop

● Configuration Extention: More standalone machines can be flexibly added into production line to get higher capacity after the whole production line has been controlled well and under good status.

High Throughput

● Flexible machines quantity for high throughput: DB and WB have maximized the throughput of CME, CMT, and AOI by increasing the number of machines, enabling the entire production line to maintain extremely high throughput.

● Part of production line running for high throughput: The standalone type machine production line, by setting up a buffer zone, has sufficient materials to be produced for each machine, which can keep the entire production line in high-speed production at all times.

High Flexibility

● Capacity Balance: The balance among different production speed for different machines is possible and much more easier.

● Mix Orders: Different Orders such as different requirement for different contact modules or contact/dual-interface mix production could be executed at the same time.

● Anti-breakdown: The production will not be affected by one or part of machines’ breakdown.

● Easier Maitenance: The standalone type machine is simpler and more flexible in the production process, troubleshooting and handling as well as production line maintenance are more simple.

High Extensibility

● One machine more instead of the whole line: A certain machine can be added into production line seperately on the need of some orders someday. No need to purchase another whole production line.

● Low cost for High Throughput: Higher Configuration such as more tester and contact/dual interface/pure contactless tester can be equipped into the same production line so that more products or higher throughput is available in a very low cost.
