What it is

The Towa Y 1 is an auto molding system used in semiconductor packaging.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Towa Y 1 operates on the transfer molding principle. Mold compound preforms are heated and forced by a plunger into a mold cavity containing the leadframe or substrate with bonded dies. The compound flows around the devices and cures to form a solid encapsulation.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Towa Y 1 is used in the packaging stage of semiconductor manufacturing, typically after die attach and wire bonding processes. The molded packages then proceed to post-mold curing, deflash, and trim and form steps.
