Overview
The Century Series Advanced Integrated Circuit Encapsulation (AICE) systems are designed to solve the
diverse needs of the emerging flip chip underfill and IC encapsulation market. The Century Series C-721
Dispensing System provides a modular approach to hardware, software, and factory integration.
Advanced platform architecture provides precision control for reliable fluid delivery, with closed-loop
thermal management, multi-zone substrate heating, and flexible material handling capabilities.
The Century C-721 system features a SMEMA-compatible material handling system that can be
configured for a variety of substrate types and sizes. Process carriers, lead frames, and multiple substrate
carriers are all supported. Optional contact or impingement part heaters ensure reliable and flexible
substrate heating.
An integrated vision system for flip chip corner detection automatically corrects any workpiece
misalignment. Asymtek’s exclusive Fluidmove for Windows NT (FmNT) software controls all machine
parameters and events within a familiar Windows environment. Key safety features meet Common
European (CE) standards.
