What are you paying the most attention to as we enter 2025? Find out what we learned when we asked that question. Join us as we explore five main themes in the new year.
Soldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?

Koh Young Launches the Meister D+ for Semiconductor Package Inspection to the Americas Market
October 13, 2021 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Koh Young, the industry leader in True3D™ measurement-based inspection solutions, announces the release of its new Meister D+ semiconductor inspection solution. Premium True3D™ Inspection Solution for Chiplets and System-in-Package (SiP) devices including die and surface mount components. The new Meister D+ is an extension of the Meister product family that features solutions ranging from solder paste, printed bumps, and solder ball to small components like 0201Ms and highly reflective die.
Meister D+: Industry Leading Inspection Systems for Advanced Packaging and Semiconductor Applications
As advanced packages continue evolving, device thickness is paramount since consumers demand smaller products with more functionality. As such, the die must be thinned, which creates a mirror-like surface that challenges optical inspection due to its highly reflective surface. Additionally, tight interspacing and increasing aspect ratios further complicate inspection. Yet, as the name implies, the Meister D+ dominants these challenges with industry leading True3D measurement accuracy and inspection technologies.
The latest Meister D+ system is perfected for component and die inspection, while delivering fast, accurate inspection from an 8-projector probe. It targets MCM/SiP/Chiplet inspection with integrated measurement and defect analysis software built on a proprietary AI engine. Beyond 0201M (008004) microchips, 10um bump height, and 5um gap spacing, it detects die defects like micro-cracks, chippings, and foreign material with high accuracy/repeatability. Additionally, this 3D solution supports a wide range of inspection capabilities: missing, offset, rotation, polarity, dimension, co-planarity, and more.
With its Moiré technology, new 12MegaPixel/5-micron optics, and 300mm^2/second inspection speed, the Meister D+ is the first solution for production-speed 3D inspection for modules combining microchips and mirror-finish die. With its user-friendly GUI and programming wizards, it virtually eliminates fine-tuning and teaching, which quickens the production ramp. Plus, its IPC-CFX-2591, IPC-HERMES-9852, and IPC-DPMX-2581 compatibility makes connectivity simple and secure.
With innovative technologies, Meister D+ delivers best-in-class performance and functionality. Its inspection capabilities have already been qualified for mass production by major semiconductor companies throughout the world. The recognized leader in electronics measurement and inspection, Koh Young continues to deliver solutions for the electronics manufacturing industry.
