NEW METHODS ENHANCE SEMICONDUCTOR LEADFRAMES
Established in the provision of highly accurate micro-engineered metal parts, Tecan Components has developed new techniques for the production of semiconductor leadframes - with cost-effective high specifications. To fabricate the frames, the company uses photo-chemical machining (PCM) and electroforming techniques - employing the most beneficial methods to suit end-user requirements.
Dimensions and tolerances can now be catered for which were previously not possible or were prohibitively expensive. Application areas are wide and varied, covering low and high lead count semiconductor, and other multi-lead component needs across the full spectrum of the electronics manufacturing market. The company is able to supply quantities at all levels of production - from rapid prototypes and small-batch samples, to medium and high-volume needs. Invariably produced in strip form, the leadframes are compatible with all modern production and assembly techniques.
“Each need is dealt with individually, using our wealth of experience and expertise,” said sales and marketing director, Noel Cherowbrier. “We strive to produce a cost-effective case-specific solution with an optimum range of cost-effective benefits every time. These PCM and electroformed parts can be produced with extremely tight tolerances to suit today’s most demanding requirements and we can produce first-offs very quickly indeed.”
Subject to acceptance, a bespoke rapid prototype service guarantees delivery of first samples within five working days. In addition to rapid delivery of the first low-volume parts, the service has other benefits. For example, once a part is adopted, down-the-line production speeds and costs are reduced because the tooling is already in place. Modifications can be cost-effectively incorporated within the company’s powerful CAD system, ensuring any ‘knock-on’ tooling costs are also minimised.
The following CAD formats are accepted, AutoCad DFX and DWG, GraphiCodeCAM PWK and CWK, DPF, Gerber, HPGL, WMF Vector, CorelDRAW Vector, Postscript and IGES. All parts are produced within the company’s strict ISO9002 quality-control regime.
