Onto Innovation's PACE Partners Talk About Collaborating on Panel-Level Packaging

On September 30, 2024, Onto Innovation held the grand opening of its Packaging Applications Center of Excellence - or as it's being called, PACE. Françoise von Trapp attended the grand opening to learn why the company has partnered with like-minded suppliers of the panel-level packaging ecosystem to accelerate the development of PLP technologies for both organic and glass substrates. These include 3D InCites Members: LPKF Laser & Electronics, Evatec, MKS-Atotech and Lam Research; as well as Resonac, Corning, and others.

This episode starts off with a conversation with Onto Innovation CEO, Mike Plisinski, who explains how PACE came to be, its business model, and why AI is driving growth in panel-level packaging.

The story continues with a tour of PACE conducted by Keith Best, Director of PACE.  Best gives a step-by-step description of the processes as panels move from the photoresist coater, to the lithography stepper, to the developer, and then to the inspection system. He also talks about the role advanced lithography tools play in developing down-stream panel level processes. 

Lastly, you'll hear from PACE collaboration partners:

• Ralph Zoberbier, CMO, Evatec
• Kuldip Johal, MKS-Atotech
• Kazuyuki Mitsukura, Resonac
