This year's Semicon West tradeshow takes place July 17-19 in San Jose, CA. We've highlighted several companies that will be exhibiting.
Precision slides & stages. Suited for semiconductor and multi-axis pick-and-place applications, the aluminum MicroStage 46 linear stage provides a drop-in replacement of heavier steel-based products, yielding a lower inertia.
Thomson Industries Inc, Port Washington, NY. www.rsleads.com/207df-305
Mini-coaxial connector. The AYU-1 series connector is reportedly the smallest cable-to-board coaxial connector. The low-profile unit has a mounting area of 3 mm² on PCBH and 2 mm height when mated with applicable cable plug.
JST Corp, Waukegan, IL. www.rsleads.com/207df-306
Edge sealing. This multi-tasked part creates a mechanical bond to almost any edge, as well as sealing against almost any surface. Trim-Seal is a flexible PVC trim, with sponge rubber tubing attached to provide a secure seal for a variety of applications. The seal is manufactured out of ozone- and UV-resistant EPDM automotive grade rubber, while the trim is manufactured out of weather- and wear-resistant vinyl.
Trim-lok Inc, Buena Park, CA. www.rsleads.com/207df-307
Actuator. The high-vacuum Chamberlink feedthrough and servo actuator is capable of delivering precise motion control in a vacuum without the need for shaft seals. Output torques range from 10- to 300-in.-lbs in vacuums up to E8 torr.
Harmonic Drive Technologies, Peabody, MA. www.rsleads.com/207df-308
Light curtain. The MCJ4700 series multiple-segment safety light curtain is connected via solid electromechanical joints. Eliminating cabling between segments reduces failure from accidentally-severed or snagged cables.
Scientific Technologies Inc, Fremont, CA. www.rsleads.com/207df-309
Dielectrics. Microlam 600 series Microvia dielectric products have optimized electrical and mechanical properties. The materials are toughened to ensure reliability in portable devices. They pass new handset OEM drop tests, and offer very low loss characteristics for RF modules. Series 610 provides a drop-in replacement for resin-coated copper; 620-series is suited for chip package substrates; and 630 is the lowest loss microvia material.
WL Gore & Assoc Inc, Elkton, MD. www.rsleads.com/207df-310
Pressure transducers. Model 227 ultra-high purity capacitance pressure transducers feature a space-saving 1-1/8-in. Down-Mount “C” seal interfacing base, suitable for use in monitoring specialty gas processes in semiconductor process tools.
Setra Systems, Boxborough, MA. www.rsleads.com/207df-311
Fiberoptic sensor. The FS-V20 fiberoptic sensor amplifier features a dual digital LED display that simultaneously shows light received and preset threshold values. Detection distance is up to 1800 mm and remains stable in harsh environments.

Optical transceivers. The RJ Format optical transceiver is suitable for use with the InfiniBand communications standard. Operating at 2.5 GB/s, these transceivers are intended to provide better I/O performance in high-traffic servers and other systems.
Stratos Lightwave Inc, Palm Bay, FL. www.rsleads.com/207df-312
APT system. The S600DC/RF automated parametric test (APT) system probes communications and high speed digital devices at the wafer level, incorporating a vector network analyzer (VNA) and integrated DC/RF probe card, supports “lights out” factory automation, and is compatible with 200 and 300 mm probers. It allows single DUT testing up to 10 GHz at rates up to ten times faster than typical tack-and-stack solutions.
Keithley Instruments Inc, Solon, OH. www.rsleads.com/207df-313
Gauging sensors. The Class II SLS 7000 specular reflective sensor has a 10 nm resolution over 1 mm measurement range and is suited for measuring surfaces ranging from perfect mirrors to silicon wafers.
Laser Measurement International Inc, Detroit, MI. www.rsleads.com/207df-315
Laser brochure. This high-power diode laser brochure outlines the company’s complete range of 650 to 980 nm products, including single-emitter devices, fiber array packages, QCW stack rays, LightStone and LightStack arrays and stacks, FAP systems and integration tools. The company produces high-volume near-infrared InGaAsP aluminum-free diode lasers, and a commercial applications laboratory is available.
Coherent Inc, Santa Clara, CA. www.rsleads.com/207df-316
Fiberoptic amplifier. The FVDK 10x69Y0 flexible photoelectric fiber-optic amplifier is designed to perform multiple functions, including object and contrast detection, background suppression and automatic high-speed teach-in.
Baumer Electric Ltd, Southington, CT. www.rsleads.com/207df-317
Semiconductor materials handbook. An A-Z listing of physical properties and safety information for over 270 chemicals and gases can be found in the Handbook of Chemicals and Gases for the Semiconductor Industry. Specific topics include thin film deposition, wafer cleaning, photolithography, wet and dry etching, chemical and mechanical planarizing, carrier gases, uncategorized materials and semiconductor chemical analysis.
John Wiley & Sons Inc, New York, NY. www.rsleads.com/207df-318
Beam delivery optics. This line of C02 lenses, mirrors and beam combiners is available in sizes from ½- to 1½-in OD and feature focal lengths from 1- to 25-in. in ½-in. increments. Designed for 25 to 200W lasers, they are available with coatings for phase and polarization requirements. Providing <0.2% total absorption values, they are suited for low power industrial marking, laser etching and soldering systems.
Laser Research Optics, Providence, RI. www.rsleads.com/207df-319
RF testing. Suited for testing devices operating up to 20 GHz that dissipate around 10W each, the low-cost RF64 frequency burn-in lifetest system uses a scaled-down version of the company’s high-powered RF testing systems. By conductively heating devices between 100° and 200°C, the system accelerates lifetime of semiconductor devices, yielding distribution data for statistical failure prediction.
