High reliable semiconductor Assembly and Test services from e2v

e2v has announced the launch of a semiconductor Assembly and Test services facility. This facility is made up of a 600 m² Class 100 clean room, wafer probe low/high temperature handlers/probes (-55°C to +200°C), legacy IC and digital & RF IC and mixed signal IC automatic test equipment (ATE), for packaged IC testing over extended temperatures (-55° to +150°C), and the large capacity IC burn-in chambers in Europe.

e2v Assembly and Test services are certified to MIL-PRF-38535 QML level Q and V, and the AS/EN9100 aerospace standard providing manufacturing capability to support high reliability applications such as space payloads and platforms, military rugged computers, radar, avionics, flight computers and engine control, alongside industrial applications including transportation, down-hole drilling and industrial computers.

This semiconductor Assembly and Test services support the manufacture of products for 20 years or more.

Coupled with this extensive 'in-house' Assembly and Test facility, e2v provides package development (design, thermal, electric simulation and test), package assembly including hermetic, ceramic packages (DIL, CHIP-CARRIER, CPGA, CQFP, CBGA), Hi-TCE Flip-Chip assembly on ceramic substrate (CBGA) and Multi-chip modules. Assembly and manufacturing capabilities include automated die and component pick-and-place, gold and aluminium wire bonding, automated epoxy attach, reflow ovens and x-ray analysis.

"Aerospace and defence industries are demanding turn-key product solutions for their IP incorporating the entire product life-cycle; from bare die sourcing to package development and test, manufacturing and obsolescence management." said Jean-Marie Muller, e2v's Assembly and Test services Marketing Manager. "Our strategic partners have come to depend on e2v delivering expertise founded in over 20 years experience in the semiconductor market. We are now delighted to extend our services even further".
