Facilities and Equipment

Auburn University has a demonstrated research focus on electronics reliability. AUERI utilizes a full assortment of additive printed electronics spanning a number of key pieces of equipment procured to augment the already formidable set of tools. Additional tools include SUSS MicroTEC PixDro LP50 Inkjet Printer, nScrypt 3Dn-300 Direct Write Quad-Head Printer, Xenon X-1100 Photo-sintering System with Flatbed Capability, and Lamination Encapsulation for FHE. Extreme Environment experimental research capabilities include several laboratories including a surface-mount assembly line. It is believed that these facilities are among the best available at any university in the nation in the areas of electronic assembly, packaging, and reliability. A description of these and other facilities is given below.
