MRSI delivers 3μm die bonder to AIM Photonics Academy’s Education and Practice Factory at MIT

MRSI Systems of North Billerica, MA, USA, which manufactures fully automated, high-precision die bonding and epoxy dispensing systems, has installed its flagship MRSI-M3 3μm die bonder in AIM Photonics Academy’s Education and Practice Factory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MA, USA. MRSI reckons that this is the beginning of a relationship that will lead to further collaboration in research and education of integrated photonics.

American Institute of Manufacturing (AIM) Photonics Academy built the Education and Practice Factory at MIT to enhance its education and training programs in integrated photonics manufacturing for the next generation of engineers. MRSI says that AIM Academy chose it as a partner because of its 33 years of experience as a leading supplier in the industry, its strategic vision, and its fast, accurate, and flexible systems that research and high-volume manufacturing of integrated photonics require. The MRSI-M3 will be an integral part of the Factory’s education and training program in chip packaging, board integration and assembly, and inspection and testing.

“MRSI Systems has been serving optoelectronics and microelectronics customers for the past 33 years,” notes president Michael Chalsen. The AIM Photonics Academy’s Education and Practice Factory at AIM Academy has created “a unique environment for engineering students and researchers to learn automation and to develop advanced prototypes at the same time,” he adds.

“We chose MRSI Systems and the MRSI-M3 because we value MRSI’s state-of-the-art automation technology, strong process knowledge, and its products’ flexibility for research and volume manufacturing,” comments Brian W. Anthony PhD, associate director, AIM Photonics Academy. “MRSI Systems offered the best package for our requirements,” he adds. “We look forward to further collaboration with MRSI Systems in training programs and prototype development.”
