REDONDO BEACH, CA — Surfx Technologies, LLC, is highlight- ing its STA-10iL automated atmospheric plasma machine designed for high-volume manu- facturing at SMTAI 2022. Whether for gluing, solder-


ing, printing or coating, inline plasma cleaning will increase yield on the factory floor and reduce defects in the field for years to come. Cleaning and acti- vating the material surfaces prior to bonding is key to achiev- ing defect-free manufacturing. Surfx's automated, inline plasma


Advantest Supports Fifth-Gen


PCIe SSD Test SAN JOSE, CA — Advantest Corporation has announced that its MPT3000 solid state drive (SSD) test systems are the indus- try's first with the ability to test PCI Express fifth-generation (PCIe Gen 5) devices, including those utilizing the new Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect standard. To help drive product intro-


duction, qualification and volume production demands associated with PCIe Gen 5 NVMe and CXL devices, several leading memory device makers have purchased multiple MPT3000 products, including MPT3000ES engineer- ing systems, MPT3000HVM high- volume manufacturing test ers, and device interface boards. PCIe Gen 5 enables high-


speed data transmission, with transfer speeds as high as 32 GT/s and up to 128 GB/s band- width. CXL is an open industry standard memory interconnect that builds on the physical and electrical interfaces of PCI Gen 5 to provide high-performance con- nections across memory types. By eliminating proprietary


memory interconnects, CXL allows different processors to share memory pools, optimizing speed, latency and shared re - source coherency and enabling creation of new storage architec- tures that will benefit servers, AI neural networks, and deep/ machine learning. Advantest designed its flexi-


ble MPT3000 systems to meet testing needs for both enterprise and client SSDs, helping shorten


customers' time-to-market. Contact: Advantest

systems are designed for this application. Surfx's STA-10iL automated


plasma machine can be easily configured for any job with a working volume of 22 x 30 x 2.4 in. (550 x 760 x 60 mm). The sys- tem offers a slim footprint, fast lead times and flexible configura- tions, leaving no excuse to skip plasma surface preparation for critical processes. Inside the STA-10iL, a three-


axis gantry selectively applies the most advanced atmospheric plas- ma to substrates. Surfx's Atomflo™ controller operates with low voltage, radio frequency
