ITEC’s ADAT2 (Automatic Die ATtach) systems, developed in the 1990s, are still operational in various production sites. An upgrade enabling them to handle 200-mm wafers would extend their economic lifetime even further. To this end, the design of an intermediate rotary stage was investigated, as described in this Mikroniek article. (Image courtesy of ITEC, TU/e)
