█ Electronics Manufacturing Technical Articles

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a process of creating coatings on a molecular layer by layer basis. Using an iterated sequence of self-saturating deposition cycles that are self-terminating, a single layer can be deposited at a time, allowing for highly uniform films with complete conformality. The composition of the film typically used ...

Atomic Layer Deposition

Is it possible to coat electronic assemblies with a thin, uniform in thickness, pinhole-free, moisture impervious, truly hermetic (by the MIL-STD-883 definition) film of ceramic material that is far more affordable than placing the same electronic assemblies in the currently used glass-to-metal sealed, thick, heavy, metal-and-ceramic-based ...

Atomic Layer Deposition for Encapsulation and Hermetic Sealing of RF and Power Electronics

Radio frequency (RF) and power electronics are vital to an array of industries, from telecom and consumer electronics to transportation and energy distribution. As energy diversification and the prevalence of high-speed electronics continue to grow, RF and power electronics are expected to reach a global market of $36.6 billion by 2027.

Investigation of the Atomic Layer Deposition of the Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Film as pH Sensor Using a Switched Capacitor Amplifier

The electrical and chemical properties of the titanium dioxide (TiO2) coated spirals grown by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique in two different temperatures of 150°C and 300°C are studied. The thickness of the TiO2 layers studied are 20, 40, and 80 nm. A switched capacitor amplifier is used to investigate the pH response and ...

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) to Mitigate Tin Whisker Growth and Corrosion Issues on Printed Circuit Board Assemblies

This paper presents the results of a research program set up to evaluate atomic layer deposition (ALD) conformal coatings as a method of mitigating the growth of tin whiskers from printed circuit board assemblies. The effect of ALD coating process variables on the ability of the coating to mitigate whisker growth were evaluated. Scanning electron ...

orbotech vantage s22 programming Manual needed -- Hello, We are having trouble with finding any type of programming manual for this machine. It would be greatly appreciated if there is anyone out there that could send me a manual or any programming notes for this machine . If anyone has any contacts from orbotech vantage that would be helpful also. Thanks , Ryan

DEK Horizon.03 hardware key -- Im having some trouble with a DEK Horizon.03 We had a few power flickers the other day, and now I get the error of "Invalid Hardware keycode" "Please reinstall the hardware(machine) keycode or contact your local DEK CS. This ancient thing doesnt have local DEK cs. Ive tried reinstalling the software several times. There is not a physical usb dongle. There is something called a DESkey, which I assume is the same thing. But it is firmly seated. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting? Thanks
