Eliminate manual placement and orientation errors
BIB loader/unloader for semiconductor industry
ation and options that can meet specific
requirements and applications. Featuring
ergonomic control panels and userfriendly
software, the system eliminates
the need for manual placement and
orientation, ensuring reliable, accurate operations.
With its automation capabilities,
the system enhances operational efficiency
and reduces manufacturing defects.
“Lykos represents a significant leap forward
in board handling technology, offering
distinct advantages over traditional
manual systems,” said Josef Weinberger,
Head of Business Unit, Esmo semicon.

The system features fully automated open top
sockets (OTS) loading, flexible BIB clamping for
different sizes, and a conversion time of less
than 3 minutes, including BIB change
Esmo Group (esmo) has launched Lykos, a
modular Burn-in Board (BIB) loading and
unloading system designed to eliminate
manual placement and orientation errors.
With high demand for microchips, the industry
needs an efficient way to manage
the volume and turnaround time during
burn-in, a process to detect early failures
in semiconductor devices. Manual burn-in
methods — including hand placement,
manual flipping, and manual stacking —
are slow, error-prone, and can damage
delicate wafers, ultimately leading to
costly downtime and product defects.
Lykos, a portable device handling system,
offers users modular machine configurfor
different sizes, and a conversion time of
less than 3 minutes, including BIB change.

Bonding technologies for OPV and perovskite-based systems
Adhesives for flexible photovoltaics
Source: Panacol
Adhesives are applied on barrier foil to seal the
delicate OPV modules
Provider of adhesives, coatings, and UV/
LED curing equipment, Panacol has developed
a range of multi-functional adhesives
for applications in flexible photovoltaics
and electronics.
Organic photovoltaics (OPV) and perovskite-based
systems are enabling radical
new applications in consumer electronics
such as indoor light harvesting to
extend the battery life of wearables, and
outdoor energy generation solutions
which would have been impossible using
conventional photovoltaics.
A key contributor to these advancements
is in the area of bonding technologies. In
line with these changes, Panacol now
offers multi-functional adhesives for applications
in flexible photovoltaics. In
OPV applications, these provide higher resistance
to environmental stresses, improved
compatibility with the PV material
and good adhesion to the substrates. New
conductive adhesives efficiently adhere
and protect electrical connections for
SMD components in flexible assemblies.
