1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Spectrum
™
920 Series system is designed for inline production of semiconductor packaging
processes, such as underfill, cavity fill, die attach, and encapsulation. This manual is intended primarily as
a reference for production operators. However, process engineers and service technicians unfamiliar with
Asymtek products may also find this manual useful as a general introduction to the system. This section
introduces the Spectrum 920 Series (S-920) Dispensing System and describes system configuration, lists
the standard and optional features, illustrates component location, and explains the function of the
components on the S-920 Dispensing System. This section covers the following topics:
•
System Description • Standard Equipment and Features
•
Manuals • Optional Equipment
•
Training • Dispensing Valves
•
Supported Dispensing Fluids • System Features
1.2 System Description
The S-920 provides exceptional dispensing accuracy and repeatability, and is ideal for high-volume
manufacturing. The S-920 system performs with a wide range of fluids, processes, and substrates used in
semiconductor packaging and assembly. The S-920 easily integrates with jets and valves from Asymtek,
including the DispenseJet DJ-9000.
The system utilizes Asymtek’s Fluidmove
®
software, the same industry-proven software package used on
all Asymtek dispensing systems. Fluidmove and the S-920’s flexible architecture makes it easy for
customers to upgrade as needed, and provides the portability to develop programs offline that can be
transferred to other sites or moved to inline systems.
Recommended applications include:
• Underfill • Lid Seal
• BGA Solder Ball Reinforcement • Chip Encapsulation
• Chip Scale Packaging • No Flow Underfill
• Cavity Fill • Conductive Adhesive
• Die Attach • Life Sciences
1.3 Safety First
Operation of your S-920 Dispensing System involves heat, air pressure, electrical power, mechanical
devices, and the use of hazardous materials. It is essential that every person servicing or operating the
dispensing system fully understands all hazards, risks, and safety precautions. Refer to Section 2 - Safety
for additional information.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all fluids used with the
dispensing system. The MSDS provides material usage instructions, disposal
instructions, and safety precautions.
