Ceramics
and Ultrasonics
 The use of a CERAMIC resonator,
such as ALU Oxide or Silicon Carbide makes it possible to design high
frequency transducers for wire bonding with the same power as lower
frequency transducers. The CERAMIC 138, when clamped with tool,
becomes 135 kHz. Its also unique in that it has a second frequency
of 97. Used in tandem, the 97/135 produced additional improvements
in the quality of bonds.
The Benefits
to the Precision Manufacturer
The CERAMIC advantage is superior
sound, speed, and a surface finish that is without the voids found
in metals. Since the introduction of Ceramically Enhanced Wire
Bonding Transducers thousands of transducers have been sold.
The CERAMIC 138 resident
anti-resident differential is the best in the marketplace.
Impedance levels of 10-15 are standard for the CERAMIC 138 and have
never been duplicated by metal stacking.

See how Uthe's dual frequency,
ceramically enhanced approach provides more power and control for
precise bonding requirements. If your organization is still using
stacked metal configurations, the time is now to upgrade to
Uthe's ceramically enhanced method.

Uthe is the Market Leader
Since 1966, Uthe
Technology has been the acknowledged leader in the design
and manufacture of ultrasonic generators and transducers for
ultrasonic and thermosonic wire bonders. With over 60,000 units
installed worldwide, Uthe has supplied the
Semiconductor industry with more generators and transducers than
all other manufacturers combined.
Uthe Customers
Consist of more than 500 different
end-users of the company's ultrasonic power supplies and
transducers. In addition, 90 percent of the company's OEM sales
were made to a number of bonding machine manufacturers including
ASM International; F & K Delvotec S.A.; Dias Automation Ltd.;
Marpet Industries, Inc.; Hybond, Inc.; SMH (Taiwan); ESEC;
Mitsubishi, Hesse and Knipps, and many other equipment
manufacturers.
Other customers include captive semiconductor manufacturers who
produce bonding machines for their own use or for resale, such as
General Motors, Philips, Hitachi,
IBM, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba.
