Foils developed for large frameless stencils
DEK has extended its VectorGuard to 29" by 29" - a convenient new frameless foil system that is said to be set to revolutionize large format applications.
Large formats get frameless foil system
DEK has added large foils to its range of VectorGuard stencils, allowing customers to reduce changeover time and ease stencil handling and storage challenges in large image area applications.
Using IMT's proprietary getter (patent pending), IMT has routinely achieved vacuum levels below 10mTorr in production of inorganic devices for such applications as IR emission and sensing and for resonant oscillators in biological and chemical hazard detection applications.
IMT's getter deposition services are performed on 150mm or smaller wafers in IMT's Class 100 clean room in Santa Barbara, California with fast turnaround of 3-4 weeks for patterned wafers.
Faster turnaround is available on request.
Shadow masking services are also available.
Customers are encouraged to call for price quotations and delivery.
IMT CEO, John Foster commented: "We see this addition to our MEMS manufacturing services as fulfilling an industry-wide need for fast-turnaround, cost-effective deposition of high-quality getters to enable wafer-level packaging of a wide range of devices that require a vacuum environment".
"Our getter has been proven to be equal to or better than the industry standard materials available today".
IMT also offers a full suite of MEMS design, prototyping, and production manufacturing services to fabless and fab-light companies in its 2800m2 Class 100 fab, the largest and best-equipped independent MEMS fab in the world.
