EAS 3450
Hybrid Microelectronics Laboratory

Room(s): EAS 3450 and ECS 163
Area: 1550 sq. ft.
Faculty: Dr. Kinzy Jones

Mission:

These laboratories are used for the fabrication of hybrid microcircuits and the development of new ceramic packaging concepts and materials. They have the complete manufacturing capabilities for thick film and low temperature co-fire ceramic multi-layer packages. Additionally, printed circuit card fabrication is supported.

Equipment:

MPM Model 100 semi-automatic screen printer.
Computerized 1600 °C hydrogen furnace.
Manual wire bonder and pick and place machines.
Class 100 clean hoods.
Box and tube furnaces.
High temperature tube furnace.
Video-capture and long focal length cameras for in-situ monitoring of ceramic firing processes.
Iso-static laminator.
Uniaxial laminator press.
Parallel lap grinder.
Various diamond saws.

Students: Three undergraduate students and five graduate students work in the laboratory.

The Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET) accredits engineering programs on a nationwide basis. Students wishing more information about accreditation should consult their respective departmental office or the Office of the Dean.
