Semicon Synapsis: a solution company for Semiconductor Industry

Semicon Synapsis is a division of Astel, a company specialized in design and production of high tech devices.

After a long experience in special applications for semiconductor industry, we decided during the year 2000 to open a division to best fit industry requirements.

We are based in Ivrea, Italy, and we have also a development and support structure near Milan. We can also rely on a number of highly specialized suppliers for any kind of material, treatment or tooling, giving us the possibility to fulfill any kind of request from our customers.

Our primary experience is related to hardware and software design and industrial automation. We have a high level design staff including system design and mechanics, and we have our own laboratories to build and test our products.

Our laboratories  are equipped with all the most updated instrumentation, including clean room facilities, to assure the highest level of product quality.

We have now a wide range of products for Semiconductor Industry, such as:

MACHINES:

Microscope loaders, also including macro inspection, with laser mapping and computer control, integrating SPC software, specially suitable for thin wafers;

Microscope Autoloaders, to integrate wafer loading and unloading directly into microscope tables;

Wafer micro and macro inspection systems;

Frame UV irradiation machines for dicing process;

Inspection systems for wafers and chips, with programmable patterns, computer aided defect collection and SPC;

Wafer UV irradiation machines.

Special UV/Ozone cleaning systems
