What it is

The EV Group 520 IS Wafer is a wafer bonding system for packaging and bonding work. The EVG 520 IS Wafer Bonder is a manual wafer load substrate bonder.[5][3][4]

How it works

The EVG 520 IS Wafer bonds wafers in a chambered bonding system. The model supports fusion compression bonding, thermal compression bonding, and optional anodic bonding.[1][4]

The EVG 520 IS Wafer uses a bond chamber with vacuum capability, heaters, cooling, and automated bond motion. The model has manual loading and unloading, automated bond process execution, and a bond cover that opens automatically.[5][1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The EVG 520 IS Wafer fits in bonding and packaging steps after wafers or substrates have been prepared for joining. The model is suited for small-volume production, research, and pilot production use.[5][1][4]

Applications

The EVG 520 IS Wafer is used for wafer packaging and bonding applications. The model is suitable for fusion compression, thermal compression, and optional anodic bonding processes.[1][4]
