High Reliability Bumping Process and WLP Total Service

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

LB Semicon Inc. is a total solution company in the Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly & Test (OSAT) field that provides customers with full turnkey service.
Founded in 2000, LB Semicon started its business providing Au process service for DDI products to domestic fabless companies. In line with the advent of mobile products, it has expanded the product portfolio to satisfy the demands of leading domestic and foreign fabless.
LB Semicon provides full turnkey assembly solutions that include DPS and wafer-level probe testing. The company has completed all the preparations to enter the FOWLP market, which is expected to grow further in the future.
“Striving to be the best worldwide, we will become a leading global OSAT company by providing our own unique SiP products in the market, ” stressed the company’s president.

Wafer-level packaging
Wafer-level Packaging (WLCSP) is the technology of packaging and testing an integrated circuit while at the wafer level and then slicing it into chips to make the completed product, which differs from the conventional method of slicing the processed wafer first into individual chips and then packaging them. WLCSP is true chip-scale packaging technology.
Demand for WLCSP is increasing rapidly in the mobile market, due to the realization of a true chip-scale package with excellent electrical properties and price competitiveness. The WLCSP continues to expand its scope of application. LB Semicon currently provides various layers of WLCSP solutions ranging from two layers to six layers tailored to meet the needs of its customers. WLCSP is applied at PMIC, RF & BB SoC, transceivers, AOC, and sensors.

Fan-out wafer-level packaging
FOWLP is composed of epoxy mold compound (EMC). This technology eliminates the need for printed circuit boards in LB Semicon’s packages by directly forming the redistribution layer and solder balls on top of the EMC. FOWLP’s applications include PMIC and RFIC.

Cu pillar bumping
As semiconductor devices are rapidly becoming more integrated and faster, chips’ I/O density is increasing at a rapid pace while the bump pitch is continuously decreasing. Cu pillar is a bumping technology, developed to meet such needs for fine pitches, and it can accomplish much finer pitch of 40um or smaller, compared to the 150um level that existing solder bumping method could reach.

Cu pillar is currently being applied to various packages and its application will be expanded even more because of its excellent thermal dissipation performance and electro-migration properties, compared to solder bumping. Cu pillar bumping is used in fcBGA & fcQFN PKG, BB & AP processors, power amplifiers, NAND flash, and Wi-Fi modules.

Wearable Eye-exercise Device

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2410E30] IZON’s eye-exercise wearable device (Personal Scope-EX) helps to maintain and improve eyesight by allowing anyone to easily and comprehensively do all kinds of exercises for the eyes.
In today’s busy life, the eyes are often neglected or abused due to continuously living with seeing bright images, close and small things, on devices such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, and laptop computers, TVs, and so forth. So, the eye also needs to be managed through exercise, and proper exercise for the eye can help to improve vision.

IZON’s eye exerciser has achieved the honor of having been selected as a winner of the “Korea Customer Satisfaction Brands” for 10 consecutive years, and of being registered by the U.S. FDA and MDA (Malaysia) Class 1.
Moreover, the product has been well-received not only in Korea but also in many other countries around the world, winning the Grand Award in the International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, and Malaysia, and the Gold Medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions held in the USA, China, and Taiwan.
As our eyes are located inside the body based on the autonomic nervous system, it is quite difficult to do proper eye exercises except for simple vertical and horizontal eye movements or massages. However, it has been proven that only comprehensive movements can maximize the effect of eye exercises and keep eyes healthy.

IZON’s Personal Scope-EX is an eye exercise apparatus embedded with an iris training mechanism with an adjustable brightness function and perspective shift gaze.
Training programs enable users not only to do massages and simple eye movements, but also to perform complex eye exercises with ease, which would be otherwise difficult to perform on one’s own. The device also allows users to check changes in their vision after doing exercises for five minutes.
When used daily, it naturally helps any users who are short-sighted, far-sighted, astigmatic or presbyopic, or suffer from dry eyes even strabismus(squint) improve their vision and have normal vision to maintain, as it enables oe to perform all necessary exercises for their eyes easily and simply.

Corrugated Optic Duct (COD) & Micro Duct & Flexible Coiled Duct (FEP)

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2410E29] Iteco’s three duct products – Corrugated Optic Duct (COD); Micro Duct; and Flexible Coiled Duct (FEP) – are mostly used to protect various duct cables like optical cables, metallic telephone cables, and electric power cables.
The spiral-shaped corrugation gives ①Much higher resistance against outer strong pressure or impact; ②easy duct installation; ③a long lifecycle of 50~100 years; ④easy maintenance, etc. The inner duct consisting of ⑤multi-subduct channels, from 2 to 24 subducts, helps users to easily identify the applied cable types. Furthermore, having silicone coated inner sub-ducts gives ⑥higher protection when air blowing or manually pulling the cable through the duct (less cable friction).

Also ⑦long delivery units such as 100m, 500m, 600m, 1000m, 1500m, and 2000m for each roll are available. The compressive load of COD is in excess of ⑧2,500N-4,000N, while the traditional duct is around 450N. The strength of COD guarantees 100% safety against earthquakes. In the UK, a motorway company calculated that COD can be installed up to 20~30 times faster than traditional duct.
They estimated an overall cost-reduction of 60-70% in installation costs, and faster installation, lesser joints throughout the installation; and shallower trenches (50cm) provide a reduction in health and safety risks of up to 60-89%.
