Elvia MICROMEGAS STATUS 17/10/2013
Size impact on the industrialisation • 2012 : Non-resistiveMicromégas • TF10, Compass simple pixel • => Standard size in PCB manufacturing : up to 610 mm X 730 mm Many horizontal equipments are designed for a max width of 610 mm
Size impact on the industrialisation 2012-2013 Increasing of the sizes : - > Class 12 Forward Still standard size but the control of the sanding of grooves for resistivelinesisverydifficult and do not give a perfect flat surface. => Necessity to process the Resistivelines by screen printing
Limit « standard » size : Compass Pixel MM plus : 600 X 800 Lowthickness : 0,2 MM => very flexible and fragile board Fine lines / Fine space Small diameterHoles
GEOAZUR • Size = 610 X 1220 • In this case we « touch » the limits of ourprocess in term of sizes: • Drilling : Distribution issues • Metalization : The Horizontal equipment has to bemodified to be able to processthislength and higher. • Lay-up : The tools have to beadapted • ( VPI machine) • Routing : samecomments as drilling
GEOAZUR • Status : • Working on the screen printing process : • 2 alternatives : • Subcontracting the operation : Ongoing but not very confident on the results • To start a new machine installed in Elvia : The machine isnowoperationnal We plan to test different mask in textile and inox
GEOAZUR « standard » image transfert (LDI machine use is not possible)
ATLAS • Before to start, few points to think about : • Sizes : 2200 x 500 mm • Image transfert : ok the equipmentisavalaible • Lay-up : size limitation : 2000 mm ! • Optical inspection : not available • Screen printing : 1200 mm max
