1998 Alpine Microsystems The featured images are of a five component Apple "Saw 4" chip set. I developed the flip chip assembly process utilizing a state of the art (sub 5 micron accuracy) granite based (Micron 2) flip chip robot as well as a flux application (atomized spray) process of my design/invention. In addition I invented several unique underfill processes utilizing Infrared cameras and highly polished Si dummy chips of the same geometry.
