See and Compare Sodium-Ion battery powders. Assuming they are round? You may be surprised how they compact and mix! Shape Matters!! https://lnkd.in/e3Xy563Y

Today is #CostModelMonday! One of the things I talk about in my PDCs that focus on the cost drivers and cost breakdowns of different packaging technologies is the impact of wafer or die prep. Wafer prep refers to any activities you have to do to your incoming wafer before packaging it up. Dicing is something you (almost) always have to do, but adding bumps is a different story. For some types of packaging, you need conductive bumps of some sort--could be Cu pillars, could be solder wafer bumping, could be Cu studs--but for other types, you can skip it. It's not always a large cost per die, but if you're comparing two different technologies that have different die prep needs, even a small difference can matter. To that end, here's a chart that shows the cost to add copper pillars and dice an incoming wafer into different die sizes. I baselined it against a 10x10mm die so you can see how the cost goes up or down from there. You can see from this chart that if you're doing any technology comparisons with smaller die, having to add the cost of bumping might not make a huge difference, but for larger die, you're looking at a decent little chunk of change if you have to bump for one technology and can skip bumping when using a different technology. The moral of the story is NOT to avoid wafer bumping, of course... That's not always a design decision that is in our hands! The moral of the story is to understand the impact of incremental costs. Incremental die costs still matter to the final package cost, even for complex designs.

Ever faced delays because a standard part just didn’t fit your specific needs? . . Or worse, compromised the manufacturing process, leading to costly downtime and quality issues? The semiconductor industry faces intense pressure to enhance efficiency To reduce waste while maintaining the highest quality standards is also a priority Custom fabricated parts are revolutionizing semiconductor manufacturing by offering precision solutions tailored to meet unique industry demands. Here’s how: 🎯 1. Enhanced Precision Custom parts are designed to fit perfectly, reducing the risk of malfunctions and improving the overall efficiency of production lines. 🎯 2. Improved Compatibility: Tailor-made components ensure seamless integration with existing machinery, optimizing operations without the need for extensive modifications. 🎯 3.Reduced Downtime With parts made to exact specifications, replacement times are shorter, significantly cutting down on costly production halts. 🎯 4. Material Optimization Custom fabrication allows for the use of materials that specifically suit your operational environment, enhancing durability and performance. 🎯 5. Cost Efficiency Initially, custom parts might seem more expensive, but their ability to reduce repair and replacement costs saves money in the long run. One of the manufacturer when switched to custom fabricated parts in our facility, he achieved 30% decrease in procurement costs and lead times reduced to 1 month . It was a game changer for our production schedules and cost efficiency! Some argue that the time and resources spent on designing and producing custom parts could be excessive. However, the long-term benefits of tailored solutions in reducing operational disruptions and maintenance costs are undeniable. Custom solutions not only address the unique challenges of semiconductor manufacturing but also pave the way for innovations in the industry. 📞 Looking to enhance your semiconductor manufacturing process? Connect with us for top-quality custom fabricated parts designed to meet your specific needs. Let’s discuss how we can tailor parts that will elevate your production efficiency! #manufacturing #semiconductormanufacturing #technology #procurement

It is the first time I have been given an Inventor credit on a patent application! (Very pleased to be notified this week that the patent application for Triad's Ai Subcomponent Assembler is continuing to make its way through the bureaucracy.) Want to hear the story? Our lead software developer was showing me his experiments in training an Ai model to recognize objects from images, when it occurred to me that if it could be trained to do THAT, then it SHOULD be able to be trained to recognize the profiles of various wall panel subcomponents (headers, ells left, ells right, u-channels, etc.). I also envisioned that it could learn to recognize the dimensions of the material (2x4, 2x6, 2x8, etc.) just by looking at the material put in the machine. In addition, recognizing that, it could then automatically fire stationary nail guns in the correct/desired pattern to nail up the subcomponent -- all of this without the operator needing to "tell" the machine ANYTHING. Just feed in the lumber in the shape of the subcomponent and confirm that the Ai had identified the subcomponent correctly! On hearing of it, our Director of Engineering thought it would be a VERY viable product, our CEO gave the go ahead, our software guru trained the Ai and wrote the easy to use touchscreen interface. Finally, our veteran production team built it in to existence! It was unveiled to the Professional Builder market at 2023's BCMC Show! It garnered much attention and MANY are already in the field saving operations time and money. (It is a machine that will literally PAY FOR ITSELF - it is only a question of how fast, in each customer's case!) We've continued to make incremental improvements and will be showing the LATEST version of the machine on THIS year's BCMC show floor, Oct. 9-10th in Milwaukee! We hope to see you there! Here's a quick video showing it nailing up a PAIR of ells simultaneously in a production plant: https://lnkd.in/gcsHcB6y For more info, call the Triad Machines sales team at 1-800-568-7423 ext. 133 or see EVERYTHING we make for the Pro Builder at: https://triadmachines.com/ 65v

Check out this #siliconemold process that makes water bottles 🧴! The history of #Silicone has a unique story that first started around WW2 when the need for extreme temperature conditions was driving the evolution of new materials seen in #aerospace. Because silicone has many unique properties like non-reactivity, #biocompatibility, and #heatresistance, it became a popular choice for molds in both the #medical and #foodandbev industries. What products have you seen that use silicone?
