Advanced Packaging Automation

Delivering an Automated Advantage for Our Customers

Advanced packaging environments are defined by constant change—substrate formats, weights, thickness, and warpage vary across customers and processes. With no standard process, manufacturers must continuously adapt to new designs and evolving requirements.

Brooks delivers automation systems that adapt in real time to these changing conditions—enabling customers to deploy new processes faster, protect high-value substrates, and maintain stable production performance.

Understanding High-Value Challenges in Advanced Packaging

Advanced packaging requires new approaches and processes to advance capability that addresses complex substrate formats. This variability makes substrate handling inherently difficult. Systems must accommodate changes in size, weight, thickness, and warpage without introducing damage, disrupting flow, or requiring constant reconfiguration. When automation cannot adapt to these conditions, manufacturers face increased breakage, reduced throughput, and slower deployment of new processes.

Improving Advanced Packaging Cost-of-Ownership Through Smart Automation

As Advanced Packaging moves through 300mm and glass substrates, the variability of the substrate is becoming a bigger problem. Brooks solves that problem through advanced imaging, analysis, and real-time adaption of the automation system to prevent this variability impacting you.

The Brooks automated solution drastically reduces the cost-of-ownership by making substrate handling predictable, as our customers push the envelope in advanced packaging.

This capability allows customers to operate across a wide range of process conditions without manual adjustment or system reconfiguration—reducing breakage risk, maintaining alignment, and supporting consistent production performance.
