On January 11, the 2025 Conference on Promoting New Industrialization in Kunshan City was held. With the high-spirited posture of being the first conference of the new year, the conference thoroughly implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on new industrialization and the spirit of his important speeches during his inspection in Jiangsu and Suzhou. In accordance with the relevant arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee and Government as well as the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government, it will speed up efforts to advance new industrialization and empower Kunshan's intelligent manufacturing with AI, so as to provide solid support for Kunshan to take the lead and set an example in advancing Chinese modernization. Chen Liyan, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, attended and delivered a speech. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, she expressed her sincere gratitude to friends from all walks of l...

At the 2025 World Semiconductor Conference and Expo, a key technological device attracted much attention — the ultrasonic scanning microscope. This equipment is becoming a "capable assistant" in quality control and inspection links during semiconductor manufacturing.As the world's latest generation of ultrasonic testing equipment, the ultrasonic scanning microscope works based on the differences in ultrasonic acoustic impedance, sound wave absorption, and reflection degrees among different materials. By emitting short waves into the interior of a sample, at the interfaces of different materials, varying reflection energy or phase information is generated due to differences in impedance. This information is then used to construct images of the sample's internal structure, enabling the detection of structures and defects in semiconductors and components, as well as qualitative analysis of materials. It has significant advantages: it can perform layered and multi-laye...

What is an Exposure Machine?An exposure machine is a core device in precision manufacturing fields such as microelectronics, semiconductors, photovoltaics, and flat-panel displays. It primarily functions to transfer preset patterns (e.g., circuit patterns, precision structures) onto the surface of workpieces (such as wafers, PCB boards, photoresist coatings), enabling high-precision patterning. It is the key executor of the lithography process (a critical step in pattern transfer).Equipment Types of Exposure MachinesExposure machines are categorized based on application scenarios, light source types, and exposure methods, as follows:1. Classification by Application FieldSemiconductor exposure machines: Used for transferring circuit patterns onto wafer surfaces in chip manufacturing, serving as the "core equipment" in integrated circuit (IC) production. They require extremely high resolution and alignment accuracy (nanoscale). - Representative technologies: Extreme Ultravio...

A stencil inspection machine is a specialized automated device for testing the quality of stencils (SMT stencils, i.e., templates used for printing solder paste or adhesive in Surface Mount Technology). Its core purpose is to ensure that the aperture size, position, shape, and overall integrity of the stencil meet production requirements through high-precision detection methods, thereby guaranteeing the quality of subsequent soldering of electronic components. Its specific uses can be divided into the following aspects:1. Detecting key parameters of stencil aperturesDimensional accuracy inspection: Precisely measure the length, width, depth, diameter, and other dimensions of stencil apertures to determine if they are within the designed tolerance range (e.g., checking for issues such as oversized, undersized, or deformed apertures).Positional accuracy inspection: Verify whether the center positions and spacing of apertures fully match the pad positions designed for the PCB (Printed Cir...
