Specialists from MSTU "Stankin", together with the Kursk-based company "Sovtest ATE", have developed an automatic machine for one of the most complex stages of microelectronics production — high-precision mounting of semiconductor dies. The development was created by employees of the university's youth laboratory and has already reached the stage of industrial production.

The new equipment is designed to perform operations for mounting dies onto a substrate with an accuracy of several microns. Engineers achieved such precision by combining computer vision technologies and precision mechanics. As noted by the university, the developments of the youth laboratory are quickly transformed into real equipment, which demonstrates the effectiveness of import substitution in the microelectronics industry.

Alexey Kapitanov, Vice-Rector for Research at MSTU "Stankin", emphasized that the launch of the machine into serial production indicates the ability of university science to create commercially successful technologies. The entry of the new machine into the market will expand the range of domestic equipment for the production of Russian microelectronics and reduce the industry's dependence on foreign technologies.

The equipment is capable of performing a wide range of tasks: from die bonding using various technologies to system-in-package and MEMS assembly. All process parameters are software-controlled, ensuring repeatability of results for all types of products. The machine is presented in the "Electronics Production Technologies and Means" nomination of the "Electronics-2026" award.
