MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel,
January 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT) (TASE: CAMT), today announced the
introduction of a new Eagle model utilizing a revolutionary
technology to detect inner cracks occurring during the dicing
process. These side wall cracks are not visible to standard
inspection and testing techniques, and can ultimately cause failure
in end-products or mission critical systems such as in the
automotive industry, resulting in significant losses to the
manufacturers of the end user devices.
Camtek's new Inner Crack Imaging (ICI) technology provides fast
detection of inner cracks during wafer level inspection immediately
after dicing in a high volume production environment.
This new proprietary technology will be presented at Camtek's
booth at the Semicon Korea tradeshow in Seoul (January 31 -
February 2, booth 1746).
Ramy Langer, Chief Operating
Officer, commented, "Side wall cracks have been a known issue
to semiconductor manufacturers for some time. The increasing
reliability requirements and specifically the high safety standards
in the automotive industry, result in a need to ship dies with no
side wall cracks. Camtek's new ICI technology was developed over
the past two years to meet this demand. This technology
significantly enhances our detection capabilities well beyond what
any other tool in the market can provide, by offering cost
effective and accurate detection of inner cracks in post-diced
wafers."
Rafi Amit, Chief Executive
Officer, added, "ICI is another achievement that we can add to
our rich IP portfolio, demonstrating our innovative and creative
solutions. This enabling technology has already been installed and
proven in multiple systems at one of our major customers, reporting
excellent results. We believe this newly developed system further
entrenches our competitive advantage that differentiates us from
our competitors. This new model represents a substantial market
opportunity for Camtek, and we expect to sell and install several
systems in the first half of 2018."
