PTI buys NEXX deposition tool for RDL and Cu pillar fab

January 3, 2012 - PRNewswire — Packaging equipment provider NEXX Systems sold a 300mm Stratus electrochemical deposition (ECD) system to Powertech Technology (PTI), a major IC packaging and testing company in Taiwan. PTI will use the Stratus to make copper pillar bumps and re-distribution layers (RDL) for portable intelligent device packages, targeting smart phone and tablet PC applications.

The tool will be evaluated for PTI’s through silicon via (TSV) commercialization program.
