Advances in Technologies Widen Market Opportunities for Chip Mounter Use
The technology of chip mounting has been progressing significantly in the recent past, especially with respect to a pragmatic solution to achieve high densities in case of packaging systems. It began with the traditional through hole technology (THT), followed by the more unorthodox surface mount technology (SMT) and the fine pitch technology (FPT). Most of the manufacturers have been using both these technologies for producing chips that are attached to substrates. A chip mounter package usually comprises integrated circuit chips. Thus, the chip mounting market is on the move from bigger diameters to smaller diameters of space. One of the key driving factors driving the global chip mounter market is the growth in the usage of communication electronic gadgets. The consumer market has witnessed mass changes in the past decades. For instance, smartphones have replaced basic features, while laptops have replaced desktop PCs. At present, tablets have been replacing laptops, whereas smar...
