What They Say
Kulicke & Soffa Industries Inc of Singapore said that it had acquired Uniqarta, a company that has developed a laser-based die transfer technology using lasers. (Laser-Enabled Advanced Placement (LEAP).
Ronn Kliger, Uniqarta’s Chief Executive Officer stated,
“After collaborating with K&S on the development of a LEAP prototype, we concluded that the best approach to commercialize our technology was to combine it with K&S’s proven interconnect expertise, production capabilities and strong customer base. The combined K&S-Uniqarta team is now well-positioned to address known customer production challenges and accelerate the adoption of next-generation advanced displays.”
Kulicke & Soffa expects to introduce and initiate qualifications of its new advanced display system by the close of its fiscal year 2021.
What We Think
We have reported several times on Uniqarta which has an interesting approach. As long ago as mid-2019, Chris reported that the firm was placing 1K devices per second of known good dies. (A Different Way of Looking at LED Developments) (BR)
