Overview


WCM-330 is the wafer compression molding system of Yamaha Robotics (Apic Yamada). It is a fully automatic molding system for wafer-level packages such as FOWLP, FIWLP and eWLB.

It handles 8-inch and 12-inch wafers, φ350 mm SUS carriers and 320 × 320 mm glass panels. It has an 85-ton press and also supports molded underfill (MUF). Both liquid and granular resins can be used, and upper and lower FAME (film assist) and 8-step resin flow control improve molding quality.

Parts that touch the wafer have ESD protection. Chip counting, visual inspection, post-cure and an IP camera are options. Throughput is about 14 wafers per hour with a 400-second cure and 150-second dispense, processing 1 wafer per molding cycle.
