Jetting fluids in non-traditional packaging and assembly applications

摘要

The expansion of business into alternative energy, green components and energy-efficient components is having a significant impact on the electronics and semiconductor industry. In solar cell production using wafers or printed electronics, the application of fluids to the end product is part of the function of the product rather than just a packaging process. Energy efficient lighting using LEDs depends upon the function and proper deposition of phosphor-filled silicones. Fuel cell proton exchange membrane manufacturing depends upon fine and uniform film builds of carbon platinum dispersions and nafion using jet spraying technologies. Some new fuel cell technologies are being developed directly on silicon wafers for mobile power applications. As the industry continues to move to more green focused manufacturing, new materials and processes are being introduced to mitigate the high price of gold wire bonding. Jetting of a wide range of materials has enabled- the advancement of these new products.
