Qdos Choose Orbotech Paragon™-UltraLaser Direct Imaging (LDI) System for New MIS Production
YAVNE, ISRAEL (PRWEB) July 14, 2014 -- ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ/GSM SYMBOL: ORBK) Orbotech Ltd., a global technology leader in solutions for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and IC substrates, announced today that Qdos (Malaysia), a Suiwah Corp. company, has purchased Orbotech’s Paragon™-Ultra laser direct imaging (LDI) system. Orbotech's field-proven Paragon™-Ultra LDI systems deliver the highest imaging accuracy and yields to meet the increasing demands of the fast-growing QFN, FC and BGA packaging segment.
Qdos chose Orbotech’s Paragon-Ultra LDI system in order to accomplish their objectives of achieving higher yields, enhanced productivity, faster TTM and increased flexibility in production of Molded Interconnect Substrates (MIS) technology.
“To maintain our current leadership positioning, we cannot afford to compromise on accuracy or throughput. We chose Orbotech’s Paragon-Ultra LDI system for our MIS production after witnessing first-hand the system’s ability to handle complex applications with precision speed and accuracy”, says Jeffrey Hwang, Executive Director at Qdos.
MIS is a new technology serving as an improved alternative to traditional lead frame and BGA substrates. The use of build-up technology offers a breakthrough from the conventional polymer core, enabling production of super-fine circuitry for enhanced performance applications, particularly those with 4G, low noise and high frequency requirements. Orbotech’s unique LSO Technology™ for LDI ensures the highest level of imaging quality at super-fine resolutions for feature sizes down to 8μm and minimum pitch of 20μm, enabling cost-effective MIS production.
“We are proud that Qdos, a world leader in MIS innovation, has selected Orbotech as their LDI technology vendor-of-choice and appreciate the opportunity to facilitate the production of this game-changing technology”, says Arik Gordon, PCB Division President at Orbotech, Ltd.
Qdos showcased both their existing Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) and their new MIS product lines (produced using Orbotech’s Paragon-Ultra LDI) at this year’s Semicon West convention.
