Fico – Leader in Equipment and Process

Fico creates exceptional customer value by offering ultimate reliability and productivity, excellent customer service, extreme precision and high production yields. The flexibility of the systems permits both high volume production of devices and small production runs of specialized chips. At the same time the sophisticated features of the equipment enable it to support the introduction of new packages. Fico is headquartered in Duiven (the Netherlands), and operates service centers in Europe, the USA and Asia.

Comprehensive Equipment Portfolio

Fico molding equipment is used to encapsulate semiconductor devices in epoxy resins to protect them from environmental influences. With the trim & form equipment, the metallic leads of encapsulated devices are cut and formed for placement on a printed circuit board or in other sockets. Trimming and forming is the final step in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor. The procedure requires a high degree of precision, particularly with the increasing adoption of smaller and thinner devices, with higher lead counts. This increases the risk of malforming or breaking the leads during the process.

In the newer generation of semiconductors, using array connect technology, the molded substrates are singulated into individual packages by means of saw singulation. A laser marker can be part of a trim & form line or can be used separately with a loader and off-loader. The laser deflasher can also be incorporated in a trim & form line to remove any flash from the molded products smoothly.
