Automated Optical Inspection Systems for MEMS and Other Special Applications  

MIGDAL HA'EMEK, Israel, February 1/ The Falcon 600 for MEMS and other special applications is Camtek's (NASDAQ: CAMT) (TASE: CAMT) latest addition to its line of automated optical inspection AOI) systems for the semiconductor manufacturing and packaging industries.The new model is dedicated to applications that require special handling and inspection capabilities, such as optoelectronic devices, MEMS, wafer-level packaging, and glass substrates.

The Falcon 600 was designed to meet the growing demand from customers for specialized inspection alongside mainstream semiconductor wafer inspection.

With the Falcon 600, wafers on tape frames or expansion rings, as well as paper-thin wafers and thick WLP bonded wafers, can be handled and inspected automatically. The system supports both framed and non-framed wafers on a single platform. Its versatile structure and software-intensive architecture help develop customized solutions and assure long service life as needs evolve.

In the recent years, Camtek Falcons have won a significant share in the semiconductor AOI equipment market with major IDMs and subcontractors, including the majority of top IC suppliers.

The Falcon family also includes the Falcon 800 for 3D and 2D bumped wafer metrology and inspection, Falcon 500 for probe mark and general wafer inspection and the Falcon 500PD for post-dicing inspection.

The Falcon 600 will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the Semicon Korea show in Seoul, Korea.

 MIGDAL HA'EMEK, Israel, January 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CamtekLtd. (Nasdaq: CAMT, TASE: CAMT) announced today that Tripod Technology Corporation ( http://www.tripod-tech.com ), a leading manufacturer of advanced printed circuit boards based in Taoyuan, Taiwan, has ordered a quantity of Camtek's automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.

The order, totaling approximately US$2.3 million, includes Pegasus 200S, Camtek's new model for inspecting finished HDI boards, and Dragon FL for inspecting fine-line PCB panels. The majority of the systems were installed at Tripod's new plant in Wuxi, mainland China, in the fourth quarter of 2006. The balance of theorder will follow during the first quarter of 2007.
 "This order represents Tripod's complete-solution approach to yield assurance in manufacturing high-density interconnect boards for advanced semiconductor packaging," explained Cliff Young, General Manager of Camtek Taiwan. "The Dragon FL provides in-process inspection of the high density boards while still in panel form, while the Pegasus 200S inspects the finished boards in strip form, after all coating and gold-plating processes. This approach enables a tight integration of the AOI operation into the production floor and facilitates yield management."

 "Our partnership with Tripod goes back over five years, indicating the customer's satisfaction with Camtek's quality of support and systemperformance," concluded Mr. Young.
