RVSI gets orders for semiconductor-inspection systems

MAY 30--The Semiconductor Equipment Group of Robotic Vision Systems Inc. (RVSI; Canton, MA; www.rvsi.com) has received orders totaling $1.4 million for multiple semiconductor-inspection systems from an Asian-based subcontract semiconductor assembly organization. Machine-vision-based semiconductor-inspection systems are used by chip manufacturers to examine packaged integrated circuits. The RVSI systems check to ensure that leads or ball-grid arrays on finished integrated circuits meet specification and also perform package visual inspection to find surface defects on parts. RVSI patented, laser-based 3-D technology provides the highest quality of machine vision available for connector, lead, and ball-grid-array inspection.
