BILLERICA, MA — April 22, 2015 — MRSI Systems, a developer and manufacturer of turnkey chip placement and dispensing systems, announced today it has integrated in situ light measurement for Active Optical Cable (AOC) into the MRSI-M3 Ultra Precision Assembly Work Cell.
The overall process begins with the placement of the die on an AOC board. For a board which contains an optical transmitter and receiver this would normally consist of a laser diode array, photo detector array, TIA and a driver chip. The MRSI-M3 Ultra Precision Assembly Work Cell dispensers conductive epoxy, perform vision alignment and then places the devices with 3 micron or better placement accuracy.
Following thermal curing and wire bonding the MRSI-M3 dispenses UV and thermal cure epoxy, performs vision alignment and then places the lens. While holding the lens in place the system measures the light output from the pre-characterized device. This measurement process can be done post UV and thermal cure to characterize any shift due to epoxy curing.
