Ersa Product Manager Jörg Nolte Presented New Research Findings on Small Devices at APEX

Kurtz Ersa Inc. is pleased to announce that Ersa Product Manager Jörg Nolte presented a white paper during the recent IPC APEX EXPO, entitled “01005 Rework – barricades and technological processes.“ The presentation addressed the obstacles in rework of 0201, 01005 components, as well as which strategies and equipment lead to successful repair of these extremely small, and sensitive devices. 

Chip components are important elements in electronic production since surface mount technology was introduced. Over the years, package size has constantly decreased. The small resistors and capacitors are still required, even if chip designs and integration rates for integrated circuits are improving almost constantly as well. 0201 packages are state-of-the-art in electronic production and smaller versions enter the market rapidly.

While production systems like screen printers and pick-and-place machines can handle the small chips perfectly, touch up and repair processes become more challenging and many questions arise.

The presentation was well received and Nolte can be contacted for more information at joerg.nolte@kurtzersa.de.
