Features

  • DLA-accredited MIL-PRF-38534 Class H and Class G hybrid manufacturing with full quality assurance provisions

  • Thick-film substrate fabrication on Al2O3, BeO, and AlN with diffusion patterning, resistor networks, and multi-layer capability

  • Thin-film substrate capability with Ti-W, Au, Ni, NiCr, and TaN metallization using thermal evaporation and sputter deposition

  • Void-free eutectic die attach and fully automatic pick and place for active and passive chip integration

  • Manual and automatic wire bonding using K&S, Hughes/Palomar, Delvotec, and Orthodyne equipment

  • Environmental stress screening: temperature cycle, centrifuge, PIND, fine and gross leak test, laser trim, and fully automated electrical test -- 100% of production

Benefits

  • Hermetic sealing provides moisture and contamination protection that printed circuit assembly cannot match in space and military operating environments

  • Al2O3, AlN, and BeO substrates deliver superior thermal conductivity versus standard PCB materials, eliminating hotspots that degrade component life in high-power applications

  • Fewer solder joints than PCA increases fundamental reliability -- critical in high-vibration defense and space environments where solder joint fatigue is a common failure mode

  • DLA Class H qualification provides a government-recognized, auditable quality baseline accepted across all US defense and space program procurement requirements

  • No sub-tier suppliers: every step from substrate to sealed package is controlled in-house, eliminating supply chain schedule risk for programs with aggressive timelines

  • Unpackaged dies are dramatically smaller and lighter than their packaged equivalents -- enabling SWaP-optimized hybrid designs where printed circuit assemblies cannot compete

Applications

  • Solid-state power controllers for space vehicles and defense platforms requiring hermetically sealed hybrid assemblies with MIL-PRF-38534 Class H screening

  • Radar receivers and stores management systems deployed on ground and aerial defense platforms requiring hermetic, high-vibration-resistant assemblies

  • DC-DC converters and high-current drivers for satellite payload electronics requiring compact, light, hermetically protected hybrid packages

  • Deflection amplifier and activator control hybrids for precision guidance and actuation applications on defense platforms

  • Digital-analog converters and signal processing hybrids where hermetic protection and wide operating temperature range are mission requirements

  • Custom multi-layer thick-film or thin-film substrate assemblies requiring integrated passive networks with precision laser-trimmed resistors
