Palomar Technologies Exhibits at SEMICON West 2011 and Offers Trade-In Credit for Used Die Attach Systems

Carlsbad, CA – July 7, 2011 – Palomar Technologies, the world-leading provider of precision microelectronics and optoelectronic packaging systems, today announced that it will exhibit at SEMICON West 2011 in San Francisco, CA from July 12-14 in booth #5780.

“Palomar Technologies has been a 35-year SEMICON West exhibitor,” states Bruce Hueners, president and CEO of Palomar Technologies. “Our teams are looking forward to discussing product advancements and microelectronic packaging solutions to a high-caliber and captive audience—it is through this environment that the real-life challenges of microelectronic assembly services are met.”

The 3800 Die Bonder—the fully automated and ultra-flexible component placement system capable of a placement accuracy of +/- 7 microns and repeatability of 3.5 micron at 3 sigma—was recently awarded the 2011 New Product Introduction Award for its efficiency and versatility to perform such processes as AuSi/AuSn eutectic attach. Current owners of 3500-III Die Bonders have the opportunity to trade in their system for substantial credit towards the 3800 Die Bonder through Palomar Technologies’ Bonder Buy-Back Program.

The Bonder Buy-Back Program offers engineering support for a seamless transition of production programs to the latest in automated die attach systems. The 3800 Die Bonder expands on the proven technology of ultra-high-accuracy die bonder series, backed by decades of industry expertise and evidenced by performance in demanding production facilities worldwide at better than 90% uptime.
