EV Group Expands High-Vacuum Wafer Bonding Capabilities of EVG ComBond Platform for High-Volume MEMS Manufacturing
New wafer alignment and bake modules provide critical capabilities to support wafer bonding for a broad range of new and emerging MEMS manufacturing applications
ST. FLORIAN, Austria, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today introduced new capabilities on the EVG ComBond(®) automated high-vacuum wafer bonding platform specifically designed to support high-volume manufacturing (HVM) of advanced MEMS devices. These capabilities include a new vacuum bond alignment module that provides sub-micron face-to-face alignment accuracy essential for wafer-level MEMS packaging, and a new bake module that performs critical process steps to achieve outstanding bond quality and performance of encapsulated MEMS devices.
The addition of these two new modules--coupled with existing capabilities on the highly configurable EVG ComBond platform such as room-temperature covalent bonding of engineered substrates--enables customers to meet the wafer bonding requirements for both current and emerging types of MEMS devices. Examples include gyroscopes, microbolometers, and advanced sensors for autonomous cars, virtual reality headsets and other applications.
"When EV Group introduced the EVG ComBond platform, we set a new standard in high-vacuum wafer bonding by building the product around a modular, highly customizable cluster design concept. This has enabled us to continually expand the capabilities of the platform over time, with applications ranging from advanced engineered substrates, power devices and solar cells to high-performance logic and 'Beyond CMOS' devices," stated Paul Lindner, executive technology director, EV Group. "With the addition of new vacuum alignment and bake modules, those wafer bonding capabilities have been expanded yet again to address the volume manufacturing needs for high-end MEMS devices."
Challenges of Scaling MEMS Wafer Bonding into Production
Many MEMS devices have extremely small moving parts, which must be protected from the external environment. Wafer-level capping can seal a wafer's worth of MEMS devices in one operation, and these capped devices can then be packaged into much simpler and lower-cost packages. Metal-based aligned wafer bonding is the preferred approach to MEMS wafer bonding, but is challenging to implement due to the high process temperatures involved as well as the presence of oxides that form on the bonding metal layers. As MEMS die and feature sizes decrease, achieving tighter wafer alignment accuracy also becomes increasingly important.
At the same time, vacuum encapsulation is increasingly needed for certain MEMS devices in order to reduce power consumption caused by parasitic drag, reduce convection heat transfer, or prevent oxide corrosion. Maintaining the required vacuum level for the entire wafer bonding process has been a key challenge for ramping these devices into high-volume production.
The EVG ComBond platform provides a complete end-to-end high-vacuum environment (10(-8) mbar range) throughout all wafer handling, pre-bonding and bonding processes. This modular configuration significantly improves serviceability, as modules can be swapped out without breaking the vacuum level within the cluster or modules and interrupting tool operation.
New MEMS Wafer Bonding Capabilities
New to the EVG ComBond platform is the vacuum alignment module (VAM) with wafer clamping, which enables sub-micron face-to-face alignment accuracy based on EVG's proprietary SmartView(®) alignment process, as well as backside and IR alignment, in a high-vacuum environment. Also new is the programmable dehydration bake and getter activation module, which accelerates the removal of sticking gas molecules prior to bonding the substrates--resulting in improved bond quality as well as reduced gas pressure in device cavities.
In addition, the EVG ComBond platform features an optional ComBond Activation Module (CAM), which enables covalent and oxide-free wafer bonding processes at room temperature or low temperatures. Integrated into the ComBond platform, the CAM allows low-temperature bonding of metals, such as aluminum, that re-oxidize quickly in ambient environments--enabling customers to reduce production costs and achieve higher wafer-bonding throughputs.
The EVG ComBond platform with the new alignment and programmable dehydration bake and getter activation modules is currently available and can be demonstrated at EVG's headquarters.
Media, analysts and potential customers interested in learning more about EVG's suite of wafer bonding solutions, including the EVG ComBond platform, are invited to visit the company's booth #1017 in the South Hall of the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, Calif., at the SEMICON West show on July 12-14.

New High Technology Company Established Based on Leading Edge Research
HELSINKI, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Emberion Oy will revolutionise X-ray, infrared and thermal imaging marketsÂ
A new high technology company, Emberion Oy, has been established by a leading edge
research team formerly employed by Nokia. Emberion Oy will revolutionise X-ray, infrared
and thermal imaging markets with its novel camera sensors that will significantly improve
the performance and cost competitiveness of existing commercial devices. Emberion's
technologies are based on a novel carbon nanomaterial, graphene, whose unique optical and
electrical properties enable a quantum leap in the performance of thermal cameras and
X-ray detectors and create new applications for these technologies.
Under an agreement between Emberion Oy and Nokia, photodetector technologies developed
by the team have been acquired by the new company. Emberion Oy has recruited key people
from the former research team to continue the commercialisation of products. Funding from
the private equity funds of VersoVentures Oy makes it possible for Emberion to continue
the development of its leading edge products. The first prototypes of Emberion's key
products are planned to be delivered to customers during the autumn.
Tapani Ryhänen, managing director of Emberion Oy, says: "Having VersoVentures as a
lead investor means we can move our technology seamlessly from leading edge research to a
new growth company. Our team has been an integral part of the European graphene research
effort for nearly ten years, and we are an excellent example of how these technologies
have matured for commercial applications. Our world class technology teams in Cambridge,
UK and in Espoo, Finland are excited about this opportunity to bring our disruptive
technologies to real applications and for the benefit of people around the world. Our
customers, all leading companies in their fields, are very interested in our products."
Emberion Oy is headquartered in Espoo, Finland and the company has a subsidiary in
Cambridge, UK, one of the world's leading centres for graphene research.
Anssi Kariola, managing partner of VersoVentures, says: "We are very convinced of the
knowhow of the team and its results that create a basis for a new global success story.
Our intention together with the Emberion team is to disrupt the X-ray, infrared and
thermal imaging markets where a relatively small number of technology providers exist.
Emberion has an opportunity to change significantly the balance of its target markets by
providing better and more competitive solutions for its customers. VersoVentures was
established because many companies have a lot of technologies and businesses that for some
reason cannot optimally flourish inside a bigger enterprise. By spinning off these kind of
businesses as independent growth companies we can provide necessary resources and the
focus for their optimal business development. The technologies that Emberion's researchers
have developed over several years are a good example of this. We believe Emberion will be
a true European success story - a high growth, high technology company built by a truly
unique team on a global scale, bringing together leading knowledge from several countries
in a single team."
VersoVentures is a Finnish private equity company that specializes in investing in
businesses with significant growth potential spun off from larger companies, and in other
leading technology growth companies in their fields, helping them to build new global
growth companies.
About graphene:
Graphene is a two-dimensional atomic crystal made up of carbon atoms arranged in a
hexagonal lattice. Graphene can be thought of as a giant two-dimensional molecule.
Graphene is only one atom layer thick, over 100 times stronger than steel and is an
extremely light and flexible material. It is also an excellent electrical and thermal
conductor. The electron mobility in graphene is over 100 larger than in silicon. Graphene
is nearly transparent but absorbs a significant amount of energy from light being only one
atom layer thick.
Due to its unique combination of superior electrical, optical and mechanical
properties, graphene is a credible starting point for new disruptive technologies across a
wide range of fields: such as, electronics, medicine, aerospace, automotives, energy
storage, water desalination, coatings and paints, solar technologies, oil and
communications. In addition, the industrial manufacturing of graphene materials is cost
efficient compared to many other materials used in the electronics industry. The
applications of graphene technologies in optics and electronics are progressing fast: high
performance photodetectors have been realized by several research teams, and graphene
technologies can be combined with traditional integrated circuits.
Professors Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov succeeded for the first time to isolate
graphene from graphite crystal and to verify this two-dimensional material at the
University of Manchester in 2004. They received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 in
recognition of their breakthrough. After a two-year long preparation period the EU
Commission selected graphene technologies as one of the European Flagship research
projects in 2013. Today the EU FET Graphene Flagship project has over 150 participating
European research institutes or companies. Nokia Research Center was one of the founders
of the Graphene Flagship, and Emberion's managing director Tapani Ryhänen is a member of
the Strategic Advisory Council of the Flagship.

adversaries, including The Beast, The Wicker Man, Horus and The Axis General, all set to a
powerful and atmospheric Maiden soundtrack.
Steve Harris, Bassist and founder member of Iron Maiden comments, "We've always wanted
to make a quality Maiden mobile game as we think the combination of Eddie and the music is
so well suited - and it's a great way to get our music out to a new audience! When the
opportunity arose to make a mobile game which our fans, along with hopefully a lot of the
gaming community, can play pretty well anywhere in the world, we jumped at it. The whole
band visited Roadhouse while touring through Vancouver back in April and we were so
impressed by the creativity, enthusiasm and passion of the team there. Visually, the
worlds and character designs do us proud and the music just ties it all together."
In Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast, players take control of Eddie's destiny across a
spectacularly diverse array of worlds by traveling through time in captivating 3D
environments. Eddie appears in many forms, each a part of Iron Maiden's rich history, and
each with a set of special powers and abilities. Fans will also hear rare, previously
unheard live recordings of Iron Maiden classics adapted for the game under the close
scrutiny of bassist and founding member Steve Harris.

Premio Introduces Three Families of Rugged Fanless PC for Embedded Applications
CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Premio, an industry-leading service provider for ODM/OEM computing technology, introduces three families of rugged fanless PC. These new series are designed for embedded applications where operating environments are harsh, such as machine automation, security surveillance, IOT gateway, outdoor signage player, among others.
Premio's new hardware offerings include the RCO-1000 Series, RCO-3000 Series and RCO-6000 Series Fanless PC series, which incorporate Intel® Bay Trail, Broadwell-U and Skylake processor support respectively. All models support extended operating temperature (-25 to 70°C), 9~48VDC input with over/under-voltage and reverse polarity protection, 5Grms vibration and 50G/11ms shock protection, and cable-less design.
All of the new PCs are built with one-piece extruded aluminum, and each has several form factors to support different I/O and expansion requirements. Custom I/O cards are available to bring additional I/O out without internal cabling. For example, COM port, DisplayPort, Digital I/O and 4-port Gigabit Ethernet (with or without 802.3at PoE) in RJ-45 or M12 connectors expansion can be added. Additional expansion options include mini-PCIe with universal I/O slots and PCIe or PCI slot(s) that allow further I/O expansion.
In addition, all models come with the option of dual SIM card slots to support cellular network connection. With two mini-PCIe slots internally and multiple SMA antenna cut-out holes, system engineers have the freedom to configure different radios and network connections for a broad range of applications.
With the latest processor technologies from Intel, these fanless PCs offer powerful computing and graphics performance in a compact form factor, while also consuming less power. System engineers now have comprehensive options to choose the performance, power consumption and form factor that best fit their applications. System development time and cost can be greatly reduced with these pre-qualified computing subsystems. By eliminating the cooling fan, system reliability and ruggedness are greatly improved. Preventive maintenance costs are also reduced because there is no more cooling fan failure and no more air filter to clean.
To offer the greatest flexibility and maintain overall system performance, these fanless PCs are designed with modularity in mind from the start. In each series, the same motherboard is used to support different chassis and interchangeable expansion modules. Different modules can be configured based on system requirement and do not require internal cabling.
In addition to the barebones systems, Premio also offers full system integration services from system build, revision control, inventory and distribution, and reverse logistics. The modular design also helps reduce the lead time and offer flexibility in system configuration. The benefits to the customers are flexibility and lower total cost of ownership from supply lead time, MTBF, and MTTR respective.

Every Day, Thousands of Businesses and Consumers in the US Unknowingly Accept Counterfeit Dollar Bills
New in the US - B$URE - A New Generation of Portable Counterfeit Dollar Detector
CAESAREA, Israel, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the United States Department of the treasury, an estimated $70 million in counterfeit bills are in circulation. Only recently, it was reported that counterfeit activity suggests North Korea's fake currency operations are back up-and-running, after US security measures hampered its success during the last decade.
A new generation of counterfeit dollar detector was recently launched by Bsecure - an Israeli high-tech company. The B$URE detector allows its users the flexibility of a portable device along with the highest level of accuracy currently provided only by desk-top scanners. B$URE was developed and tested in collaboration with leading financial and security organizations and is currently undergoing patent registration.

"The level of sophistication which characterizes the counterfeiters in recent years demands an equally sophisticated solution. Some of the more commonly used solutions are obsolete and it is time to move forward by tackling the problem with more advanced technologies," says Allen Judis, Vice President of Engineering of the Bsecure group.
B$URE is a pocket-size, battery-operated device designed to authenticate dollar bills. It is easy to use and gives feedback in less than a second.
In its final round of testing B$URE reached a 100% positive authentication of banknotes, with no positive identification of counterfeit bills.
Due to its advantages, B$URE specifically fits the needs of businesses and individuals that deal with large volumes of cash on a daily base.
Dr. Aryeh Levin, Bsecure's CTO, notes that "Based upon our years of experience protecting major financial and commercial corporations around the world, we are the most suitable company to produce a product such as B$URE".
The company is currently looking for US partners in order to penetrate the American market.

The Changing Face of NAV Integrated Expense Management
LONDON, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Available for sale in the UK
Equisys is pleased to announce that Zetadocs Expenses is now available for sale in the
UK exclusively through Microsoft Dynamics NAV partners. Zetadocs Expenses has been in
preview since January 2016 at Microsoft partner and customer sites, and in daily use
internally through every stage of its development.
Zetadocs Expenses is a cloud service with Android and Apple (iOS) apps for phones and
tablets. Users can snap a photo of the receipt when incurring an expense rather than
leaving everything to an end of month chore. Expense approval and checking is then
cloud-based for managers and the finance team. All popular browsers are supported for
desktop users, making it easy for claimants to add explanatory detail for expenses using a
full-size screen and keyboard, and for approvers and processors to check for eligibility,
coding and full recovery of VAT.
What marks out this new expense management service is that it has been designed
explicitly for mid-sized businesses that use Microsoft's NAV financial software. It's more
powerful and flexible than small business expenses systems, yet simpler to manage and use
than established enterprise solutions. Equisys is a mid-sized business itself that uses
NAV and already produces add-ons for NAV, so it really understands the expense management
needs of NAV partners and other NAV users.
Seamless NAV integration
The service is built on Microsoft Azure, designed to be highly scalable to ensure it's
responsive at all times, and offering reliable access at anytime from anywhere. Its
integration with NAV through Zetadocs Capture is class leading, with a low "object
footprint" and without requiring modifications to any standard NAV objects, making it a
breeze to implement.
Andy Hill, Director at Tres Tria [http://www.trestria.co.uk ] writes, "With help from
Equisys, our on premise NAV system was communicating with the Zetadocs Expenses cloud
service within an hour. Zetadocs only needs Internet access, so there was no need to
modify firewalls to allow web service traffic. The NAV integration is really lightweight
with only five Zetadocs NAV objects to import. There was also no need to modify any
standard objects, which will be great when customers want to upgrade. Equisys have taken
the complexity out of the setup and the bulk of the solution is already running when we
come to implement. I think it will be possible to get a Zetadocs Expenses pilot system up
and ready to go in a day."
More to come... regularly
As Zetadocs Expenses is a cloud service, Equisys is able to add and improve features
regularly, making most enhancements available to users without any need to update anything
in NAV.
Chris Oswald, CEO of Equisys, commented, "This is a new type of hybrid NAV add-on for
the Microsoft Dynamics marketplace. Much of the solution sits up in Azure, ready to go as
soon as you are. It's rapid to deploy and the hybrid approach means that we can make
features available for preview to selected users and then roll out those features to all
appropriate users, often without needing to change anything in NAV. This means that the
ERP functionality for a business need not be frozen for years at a time. That's
particularly important for an area such as expense management where there's a huge amount
of innovation underway to make life easier for finance teams in mid-sized businesses.
We're now working on handling company credit cards better and on producing a North
American edition. We've plans to make it easier to recover VAT on car fuel for business
travel, too. We work with our partners to showcase new enhancements such as these to get
customer feedback whilst we're still developing them. That helps ensure that we get things
right for NAV users first time."

Recent events demonstrated that the company needs to move faster to introduce new benefits designed with developers in mind, and invite them to play an even bigger role in creating the marketplace of the future.
With this in mind, G2A introduced the following benefits and solutions designed to make developers full partners in the digital marketplace, and to extend additional security options. This set of tools, a gaming industry-first, includes:
1. Royalties on Third-party Auctions: Developers may apply a royalty of up to 10 percent for any of their products sold on the G2A marketplace, which provides a way for developers to monetize third-party transactions.
2. Priority Placement: Developer-managed auctions will be listed first, above third-party sellers, to provide more visibility and transparency. Developers will also be able to create their own customised storefront featuring all of their products and promotions.
3. Chargeback Protection: G2A offers G2A Pay with free integration to developers as a protection on their own websites to mitigate their risk factors (especially beneficial for small developers, beginners and those who feel that their security systems are not sufficient).
4. Dedicated Database Access: Developers will have access to G2A's database information to verify sales, volume and timing to track the lifecycle of every key and identify illegal practices.
5. Dedicated Account Managers: The expansion of G2A's dedicated account manager model to support developers and to resolve any question or issue, especially those related to security concerns.
6. Developer Funding Option: Many gamers wish to support their favorite developers. For the first time, they will be able to contribute funds directly through an additional button on the developer's product page.
7. Expansive Global Access: Multi-language translation program expands exposure for developers to our 10 million global customers who are eager for new games from Indie developers.
G2A supports all members of the gaming community and offers these new benefits to all developers at no additional charge.
"We'd like to extend our thanks to all those who have provided input and feedback to improve the G2A marketplace - gamers, developers and influencers alike," said Bartosz Skwarczek, CEO, G2A. "As a consequence, G2A has been motivated to adapt to a rapidly-changing landscape, and we need to support developers in new ways, for the good of the industry."
In addition to these enhanced benefits for developers, G2A also committed to continue to monitor its marketplace extensively for any possible fraudulent activity. In the small fraction of cases where fraud may be detected, G2A investigates and bans offending parties from further participation. The company works with law enforcement globally to track fraud and is committed to ensuring that the marketplace remains safe. Dozens of payment providers work with G2A globally because they have total confidence in the security process.
Jacqueline Purcell, Head of Global Public Relations at G2A, said, "We acknowledge that these are just steps in a journey to create more value and more security for all of our sellers in this fast-changing marketplace, and we will bring you updates as we have new solutions to share. We can always do more."
Testing will begin within the next two weeks and these solutions will roll out July 29, 2016. Developers interested in participating in the testing process should contact: developers@g2a.com.

San Francisco Salt Company Introduces Whiskey Smoked Irish Sea Salt
The latest addition to San Francisco Salt Company's line of gourmet specialty salts features the distinct flavors of whiskey, smoke and sea salt and was unveiled earlier this week.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco Salt Company--one of the largest importers of specialty salts in the country--has partnered with Irish brand Oriel Sea Salt to introduce a unique Whiskey Smoked Irish Sea Salt to its lineup of gourmet chef salts. The launch took place at the Summer Fancy Food Show from June 26-28, 2016 at the Javits Center in New York City.
The creation of Whiskey Smoked Irish Sea Salt begins with smoking 90-year-old Nicaraguan oak kegs which held Teeling's finest Irish whiskey during its last 10 years of aging. The smoking takes place just hours after the kegs are emptied. This process ensures that they retain their rich whiskey and oak aroma, which are then subtly infused into Oriel Kiln-Dried Mineral Sea Salt.
Oriel's salt is renowned for being naturally lower in sodium, having higher mineral content, and embodying a powerful taste that allows chefs and food lovers to use up to 25% less with the same kick of flavor. It is a naturally free-flowing fine grain smoked sea salt which blends rapidly in recipes. Once smoked, it delivers a rich, smoky flavor that can be sprinkled onto meat or used on burgers, though the culinary possibilities are endless and are only limited by one's creativity and imagination.
"Until Oriel contacted us, Irish Sea Salt was not really on our radar, so we were instantly intrigued. When they told us about their Teeling Whiskey Smoked Sea Salt, we knew we had to try it," says San Francisco Salt Company's President Lee Williamson. "It combines three fantastic flavors--whiskey, smoked oak barrels, and sea salt--which come together in a surprisingly harmonious and palate-pleasing way. Powerful and smooth is a huge understatement."
Like all San Francisco Salt Company products, the Whiskey Salt is available in bulk packs for restaurants, hotels, bars and other volume customers as well as three retail-sized package options: 4-ounce glass shaker bottles, 5-ounce stackable shakers, and 8-ounce glass chef's jars with wooden scoop.
About San Francisco Salt Company
Launched in 2002, the San Francisco Salt Company was the founders' entrepreneurial dream and embodies his principals of quality, value, and customer service. They carefully select only the best quality salts from suppliers around the globe for their taste, texture, and appearance.

LeEco Le 2 Ushers in an Era of Disruptive Pricing in India
BANGALORE, July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The launch of Le 2 Superphone by LeEco has stirred the pricing landscape in India. Le
2 with its superlative specs, lossless audio and irresistible content at a disruptive
pricing, has given a new sense of vibrancy to the smartphone market in India that had
hitherto become dull with its same old 'Tweak here and Tweak there' approach.
The launch of this Superphone brought such a massive pressure that top brands also
lowered their prices. Hopefully, many other brands will join this bandwagon of bringing
down their prices and adjusting their price according to the specs they offer. The impact
of the price disruption brought by LeEco was such in India, that during its first Flash
Sale for Le 2 and Le Max2, the company recorded a sale order of 61,000 units garnering
revenues to the tune of Rs 78 crore: setting a new online record in the business of
smartphone business in India.
Other brands are definitely going to feel the heat of both LeEco's specs and pricing.
Le 2 unleashes an improved camera and entertainment experience coupled with world's first
CDLA (Continual Digital Lossless Audio) standard. As a new entrant in India's market, Le 2
has showed that it is much better than its peers in the same range.
In the recent months, the major drawback was that the consumers had to settle for bad
camera and limited internal storage (like 16 GB). However, Le 2 is the answer for all the
value conscious buyers looking for superlative specs at affordable price. Customers can
really see a marked improvement on both the performance of the camera and the internal
storage on Le 2. This flagship killer Le 2 comes with 8MP front camera, 16MP rear camera
and has an internal storage of 32GB.
Le 2 comes with a powerful high-end Octa-core Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 652 with
Adreno 510 GPU that brings better performance during multi-tasking: A delight for gamers
and movie buffs. Le 2 also features an in-cell screen with 5.5 inch FHD displaying,
coupled with the 8MP front camera, helping users to take high quality selfies. Le 2 offers
3G RAM and packs 32GB internal storage, which leads the market trend of large RAM and
large ROM smartphones.
Apart from these superlative specs, Le 2 in India comes bundled with LeEco's
Supertainment program that if purchased separately would cost. With this program, users
will get access to more than 1.9 million songs with lossless audio, 50+ Big Ticket
International Live Concerts, exclusive Live Streaming of Major Entertainment Events &
Music Concerts Worldwide along with 7500+ hours of world class entertainment. LeEco will
also give users a chance to tune into top International Live Concerts - Live and Offline -
in Lossless Audio. And there's still a lot more! Access to a content library of 2000+
movies and 3000+ hours of curated shows, 150+ live TV channels. Surely, the content
membership alone makes Le 2 a must-buy.
For people who missed June 28th flash sale, LeEco is coming up with yet another
opportunity for them. LeEco's 2nd flash sale for Le 2 and Le Max2 will be on July 5th, and
the registrations for them are already underway. The Flash Sale for Le 2 and Le Max2 are
at 12 noon and 2PM respectively on both LeMall, LeEco's own ecommerce marketplace, and
Flipkart.
