A stencil printer is configured to print an assembly material on an electronic substrate. The stencil printer includes a frame, a stencil coupled to the frame, a support assembly coupled to the frame, and a print head gantry coupled to the frame. The print head gantry includes an elongate beam that rides along rails provided on the frame and a print head assembly supported by the print head gantry in such a manner that the print head assembly is configured to traverse the stencil during print strokes. The print head assembly includes a print head having a squeegee blade assembly configured to roll solder paste along the stencil. The stencil printer further includes a solder paste bead recovery system configured to remove a bead of solder paste from a top surface of the stencil and to deposit the bead of solder paste onto a new replacement stencil.

A wave soldering machine includes a housing and a conveyor configured to deliver a printed circuit board through the housing. The wave soldering machine further includes a wave soldering station coupled to the housing. The wave soldering station includes a reservoir of solder material, and a wave solder nozzle assembly configured to create a solder wave. The wave solder nozzle assembly has a nozzle core frame and an exit wing, the exit wing being rotatable about a hinge with respect to the nozzle core frame to adjust a flow of a solder wave. A linear actuator is connected via a linkage to the exit wing to allow the linear actuator to adjust an orientation of the exit wing with respect to the nozzle core frame.

A unitary wafer assembly arrangement for the application of solder balls onto a substrate for subsequent use in the electronics industry. This wafer tool assembly comprises a number of modules connected to one another and all serviced by a robotic arm to transfer processed wafers from one module to another. The tool assembly comprises a load port and pre-aligner module, a binder module, a solder ball mount module and a reflow module. A wafer inspection and repair module arrangement is also part of the tool assembly.

An injection apparatus for injection material is disclosed. The injection apparatus includes a tank for storing material. The injection apparatus further includes a head body that has a surface for contacting a substrate and an opening part opened at the surface for discharging the material in fluid-communication with the tank. The injection apparatus further includes a member connected to the opening part, in which the member allows gas to flow into and flow out from the opening part.

A composite material comprising a plurality of round particles bound together by a binding material. Each of the plurality of round particles includes a wear resistant element, an intermediate coating on the wear resistant element, and a round outer layer encapsulating the intermediate coating and the wear resistant element. The intermediate coating is metallurgically bonded to the wear resistant element, and is metallurgically bondable to the binding material.

To provide a wire bonding apparatus, which is insusceptible to a bonding state at a second bonding point due to a wire cut error or the like, or to members such as a capillary and a wire, and is capable of automatically protruding the wire from a leading end of the capillary, provided is a wire bonding apparatus including: a capillary (6) having a through hole through which a wire (40) is to be inserted; a holding unit, which is provided above the capillary (6), and is configured to hold the wire (40) inserted through the capillary (6); and a vibrating unit configured to vertically vibrate the capillary (6). Under a state in which the holding unit holds the wire (40), the vibrating unit vertically vibrates the capillary (6) so that the wire (40) is protruded from the leading end of the capillary.

The invention relates to a soldering system and a method for wave soldering, having at least one flux nozzle and a device for monitoring a state of a spray jet of the flux nozzle.

Provided are a logic switching device and a method of manufacturing the same. The logic switching device may include a domain switching layer adjacent to a gate electrode. The domain switching layer may include a ferroelectric material region and an anti-ferroelectric material region. The domain switching layer may be a non-memory element. The logic switching device may include a channel, a source and a drain both connected to the channel, the gate electrode arranged to face the channel, and the domain switching layer provided between the channel and the gate electrode.

A solder member mounting method includes providing a substrate having bonding pads formed thereon, detecting a pattern interval of the bonding pads, selecting one of solder member attachers having different pattern intervals from each other, such that the one selected solder member attacher of the solder member attachers has a pattern interval corresponding to the detected pattern interval of the bonding pads, and attaching solder members on the bonding pads of the substrate, respectively, using the one selected solder member attacher.
