| What is the level of interest in bulk feeding cpassive devices, caps & resistors, 0402,0603,0805? The component mfgs. tell me in 3 years 40% of the passive caps will be bulk fed. Their is currently about a 10% cost savings with bulk over tape & r

You are right !!! The exact volume of solder paste onto flip chips is extremely critical. Only one vendor that I know has taken that part of the process to the next level, whereby they can effectively deposit the right amount onto the flip chip exa
