AL2000 - Automated Photonic Devices Assembly System

15 Jan 2008

Maximum flexibility for diverse device assembly requirements and applications. A 6-degree of independent axes platform for submicron precision alignment. Various bonding options, soldering, and laser welding with about 1 µm post-bond-shift accuracy.

Today’s photonic devices are increasingly complex in design, configuration and application. Such factors, driven by the dynamic business environment, demand a versatile assembly system that can satisfy both performance and cost-of-ownership. ficonTEC introduces the next-generation AL2000, which system architecture enables the maximum flexibility for diverse device assembly requirements and applications. The platform consists of 6-degree of independent axes for submicron precision alignment that addresses all possible degree of optical (and mechanical) axes, and almost equally accurate pick-and-place positioning capability. It provides various bonding options, including both UV- and thermal-epoxy, soldering, and laser welding with about 1 µm post-bond-shift accuracy. Various fully automated assembly processes have already been implemented. These include: • FTTx transceiver assembly • Laser array assembly (e.g., printing applications) • Pressure sensors • Miniature camera modules (e.g., automotive applications) • Micro-lens positioning and assembly (via epoxy dispensing) • Miniature solid state laser assembly (e.g., display applications) • Planar parallel placement of CCD-arrays The AL2000 embodies ficonTEC’s process expertise in various device assembly and automation, as the fully proven process is typically delivered with the system.
