Inkjet Printer

A desktop R&D inkjet printer and is designed for research and development of inkjet processes, applications, and the evaluation and development of inkjet materials. The printer is designed for a wide range of applications such as semiconductor packaging, PCBs, printed electronics, photovoltaics, displays, and for biomedical purposes.

Direct Write Quad-Head Printer

A Tool is a high-speed platform for 3D manufacturing products and contains automatic tool changes, a palette of more than 10,000 materials, and post-processing options. This digital manufacturing system can go from CAD to a completely finished electronic product utilizing automatic tool changes to 3D print and house a structure with the extrusion tool head. The printer is a Tabletop Model that operates on a precision ball screw motion platform and is capable of microdispensing; high-precision 3D printing; micro-milling, drilling, and polishing; and pick and place.

Photo-Sintering System with Flatbed Capacity

The system possesses the latest advances in Pulse Light technology. It provides researchers with photonic technology to produce high-intensity light that can be used in a large variety of new applications. Features of the system include a benchtop design, high-intensity light containing up to 9 Joules of radiant energy, and multiple user screens. Additionally, the system offers a wide spectrum of light (deep ultraviolet, visible, and far infrared) and its benchtop design also allows the system to connect to voltages from 90 to 250 Vrms.

Aerosol Jet

The technology behind Aerosol Jet enables printing of interconnects on both 2D and 3D substrates. For 2D applications, multi-level interconnects can be created by printing a dielectric material at circuit cross over points – in essence emulating a multi-layer circuit board but on a single layer. This can be accomplished because the Aerosol Jet process supports multiple ink input devices allowing materials to be switched or even blended during printing.

Also, Aerosol Jet can print conformal interconnects on 3D surfaces eliminating the need for wire bonding – for example printing electrical connections on 3D stacked die or for LED chip fabrication.

 

Gravure Offset Printer

The high-definition gravure offset printing presses capable of forming fines with L/S=20/20 (µm) or less and metal mesh lines of 5 (µm) or less. By installing the system at NextFlex’s research facility in San Jose, California, the provision of this technology will not only provide an opportunity for developing collaborations with NextFlex and support technical innovation in FHE manufacturing but also contribute to the implementation of devices in the age of printed electronics through the realization of fine lines that were not possible with printing up to now.

Protolaser

The ProtoLaser uses a scanner-guided laser with a wavelength of 355 nm in the UV spectrum, that has been specially developed for use in electronics laboratories. This wavelength makes it possible for many material groups to be perfectly processed with the laser without additional tools, masks or films.

Placing scan fields next to each other results in a working range of up to 229 mm x 305 mm x 10 mm. The laser focus with a diameter of approx. 20 µm allows for structures with a pitch of 65 µm (50 µm line width, 15µm apart) related to FR4 with 18 µm Cu.

Inkjet Printer

The Printer digitally prints both silver conductive inks and UV curable dielectric insulating/building inks. Can Inline LED UV curing of dielectric insulating inks and Heat Sintering of silver conductive inks. Has a 12” x 24” printing bed with silicone tacky mat with a 1440 dpi resolution 8-channel inkjet head enables simultaneous multi-material, multi-layer printing of electronic circuits and components and a 1.5 pl to 21 pl drip size.

Profilometer

Versatile Profilometer that eliminates blind spots and measures glossy surfaces. Easy-to-use, non-contact 3D measurement system with motorized rotational scanning for performing a wider variety of measurements. Can perform high-precision 3D measurement of an entire surface in as little as 1 second using rotational scanning for a wide variety of materials.

 

Analyzer

Designed for ultra-thin coatings, such as those found in today’s shrinking electronic components, the FT160 produces fast, accurate and repeatable results, increasing productivity and reducing costs of out-of-specification coatings on PCBs, semiconductors and micro connectors
