Power semiconductor materials focus of trade show
At the 37th International Symposium on Microelectronics November 16-18, 2004, Indiumıs exhibit will focus on Power Semiconductor Materials, such as Solder Wire, Solder Preforms and Solder Paste.
The Phazir combines digital transform spectroscopy (DTS) with MEMS technology to reduce large, stationary analytical laboratory instruments into one handheld, NIR analyser.
Manufactured at Micralyne, these MEMS devices can be mass produced, resulting in low-cost and extremely robust and reproducible products.
The MEMS engine is an electrostatic device, minimising power usage and maximising battery life.
The Phazir's lightweight portability streamlines quality control and quality assurance processes, while retaining high-speed analysis, pinpoint accuracy, and operational endurance.
The Phazir can be software- configured for applications including recycling, inspection of incoming raw materials, analysis of agriculture properties, fraud identification, and forensics.
"Polychromix has a revolutionary product offering".
"The uniqueness of its technology makes the Phazir a necessary tool for numerous industries", commented Chris Lumb, President and CEO of Micralyne.
"As Polychromix' manufacturing partner, we understand the need for high-quality MEMS devices to ensure the success of its product, and we are excited to contribute to this innovative technology and look forward to its growth".
Polychromix CEO Brian Mitchell said, "Our core MEMS technology has enabled us to develop highly differentiated products with unparalleled capabilities in a large and growing industry".
"Partnering with Micralyne enables us to offer an innovative, first of its kind analysis tool at a reasonable cost, without sacrificing quality".
