Ion Beam Etching
Ion beam etching technology provides a superior etching process over conventional chemical etching. With ion beam etching, there is no undercutting or cross-contaminantion, resulting in better overall RF circuit performance.
Plating
Electro-Plating Finishes Available:
- Soft Gold plating (wire bondable)
- Sulfamate Nickel plating (low stress)
- Copper Sulfate plating for thin film circuits
Dicing
MicroFab offers wafer dicing service on a wide variety of materials including Alumina, BEO, Aluminum Nitride, Quartz and others. Standard tolerance of +/- .001″ ( 25.4 microns) with Special Tolerances of +/- .0005″ (12.7 microns)
