Innovation in Semiconductor Manufacturing, Huvics Laminator System Success Case
Data shows that 68% of semiconductor manufacturers face difficulties at the initial stages of introducing new equipment. This is due to factors such as the complexity of the equipment, integration issues with existing processes, and unexpected technical problems. Amid these challenges, Huvics presents innovative possibilities in semiconductor manufacturing processes through its groundbreaking laminator system, significantly enhancing clients’ production efficiency and quality.
Recently, Company A faced two critical challenges in its semiconductor packaging process: increasing production output and stabilizing quality. The existing lamination process heavily relied on manual work, resulting in low productivity and quality variation depending on the workers’ skills. Ensuring consistency during the thin-film bonding and UV curing processes was particularly challenging. A representative from Company A commented,
“It was difficult to meet the surging demand with the existing equipment, and the high defect rate was a major concern. A new solution was desperately needed.”
Given this situation, Company A evaluated solutions from various providers and decided to implement Huvics’ laminator system, which received top evaluations for technical superiority and customizable support potential. This decision was primarily influenced by the expectation of Huvics’ one-stop lamination process, which integrates Expander, Lamination, Tape Mounter, and UV Curing functions into one system to reduce process time and increase efficiency. Additionally, the flexibility offered by Semi-Auto and Manual options to meet diverse product and production demands also appeared attractive. Enhancing adhesive strength and process stability through the Lamp/LED UV Curing system was another crucial consideration.
Huvics accurately identified Company A’s issues and proposed an optimized laminator system through an analysis of their existing processes. The key was to automate all processes from the Expander to UV Curing, minimizing the workers’ intervention while maintaining consistent quality. The product is named the Huvics Laminator System, with core functions including integrated processes of Expander, Lamination, Tape Mounter, and UV Curing. The system consists of an Expander that extends the wafer or substrate, a Lamination that attaches thin films, a Tape Mounter (Semi Auto / Manual) that secures them using tapes, and a UV Curing (Lamp / LED) that cures adhesives with UV lamps or LEDs. Huvics customized the system to meet Company A’s specific requirements, supporting seamless integration with their existing production line. Huvics engineers stayed on site at Company A to support system installation and initial operation, providing continuous technical support and training to enable Company A’s staff to fully understand and utilize the system. Furthermore, Huvics contributed to improving Company A’s productivity by analyzing production data to identify process improvements and offering consulting for system optimization. Such proactive support played a decisive role as Company A successfully implemented the laminator system and exceeded expected results.
After adopting Huvics’ laminator system, Company A achieved a 40% increase in productivity. While previously producing an average of 500 units per day due to manual work, the automated system now allows production of over 700 units daily. Furthermore, the quality defect rate decreased by 50%. The variability in quality due to workers’ skill levels reduced, allowing for consistent quality maintenance. A production manager at Company A shared,
“Previously, the quality of the output varied by worker, which was a challenge, but after implementing the Huvics system, everyone can produce the same quality of products. The previous product had frequent lamination defects, but the defect rate has significantly decreased with this one.”
He expressed satisfaction. Beyond these, Company A benefited from reduced Tact Time, labor cost savings, and an improved work environment. The workload for workers decreased with the introduction of the automated system, allowing for safer and more comfortable working conditions. Company A’s management appreciated both the increase in production efficiency and quality improvement achieved through the implementation of Huvics’ laminator system, expressing gratitude to Huvics.
This success case of Company A demonstrates the significance of automated system adoption in semiconductor manufacturing processes. Huvics’ laminator system is distinguished by not just selling equipment, but precisely identifying customers’ problems and providing tailored solutions to support customer success. Huvics intends to contribute to the advancement of the semiconductor industry through relentless technological developments and customer-oriented service offerings. Moreover, Huvics plans to further strengthen cooperative relations with Company A to provide ongoing support for enhancing their productivity and quality. Huvics will strive to demonstrate the excellence of its laminator system to other semiconductor manufacturers, enabling more clients to achieve success through Huvics solutions.
Huvics’ laminator system helps reduce Tact Time and increase productivity through the integrated processes of Expander, Lamination, Tape Mounter, and UV Curing. Additionally, it offers Semi Auto and Manual options to flexibly respond to diverse product and production demands. The Lamp/LED UV Curing system effectively enhances adhesive strength and improves process stability. These features enhance the efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing processes and enable high-quality product production. Huvics plans to further develop these strengths to grow into a leading company driving innovation in the semiconductor industry.
