From the devices we use daily through to advanced medical equipment and industrial technology, microelectronics are the unsung heroes behind the scenes. At ESCATEC, we recognise the critical importance of microelectronics assembly and have established ourselves as industry leaders in this field.

Our experienced micro-assembly team have designed, developed, and manufactured a wide range of innovative devices including security camera modules, Time of Flight sensors, LiDAR systems, tire pressure sensors, micro scanners, NIR spectrometers, high-performance LED, laser, and lighting solutions.

With state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities, advanced technology and equipment, our team of highly skilled professionals, based in Switzerland, ensures that every assembly project meets the highest standards of quality, precision, and reliability.

Key Microelectronics Assembly Services

At ESCATEC, we offer a comprehensive suite of microelectronics assembly services, including:

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly: Our SMT expertise guarantees efficient, high-density assembly.
Chip-on-Board (COB) Assembly: We excel in precise COB assembly for compact electronic devices.
Wire Bonding and Die Attach: Trust us for secure connections and accurate die attachment.
Active alignment: We have the equipment and knowledge to ensure your micro-optic production requirements are delivered with the highest levels of precision and accuracy.
Cleanroom Facilities: Our contamination-controlled cleanrooms ensure the purity of your microelectronics.
Quality Assurance and Testing: Rigorous quality control processes at every step of the assembly process.

Many factors must be considered when designing an optimised and fully functioning Micro-Opto-Electronic-Mechanical-System (MOEMS) device. One of the most important factors for robust functionality is a stable production process. Our demonstrable experience spanning decades allows us to offer customers a range of development services around MOEMS technologies resulting in more compact, efficient, higher performing and cost-effective devices.

Our Chip On Board (COB) process steps consist of die bonding, wire bonding and several encapsulation techniques including glob top, dam (or underfill) and optical clear encapsulation.

The range of die bonding machines we have can work to +/- 1um, stamping or dispensing adhesives, and picking and placing bare chips from blue tape, waffle packs or gel packs.

Our wire bonding machines are suitable for all wirebond technologies including gold ball and thin wire. Quick and simple bond head changeover times of under 30 minutes can be achieved along with continuing monitoring and control of the bond process.
