Escatec Appoints Micro-assembly Expert to Head MOEMS Facility

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Wolfgang Plank, the R&D project manager of electronics manufacturing services provider Escatec, was appointed head of the company’s MOEMS (micro-optic electronic manufacturing services) facility.

The new role takes advantage of Plank’s career-long focus on LEDs, micro-optics and micro-assembly. He has developed products for companies such as Intel and Ivoclar Vivadent, ranging from a cooling plate for electronic chips through a piezoelectric system to calibrate IR lasers for satellites, to a blue LED device for curing dental materials.

The MOEMS facility features an ISO Class 7 cleanroom with capabilities such as chip-on board (die and wire bonding), encapsulation, solder flip chip, ball grid array and micro-optics assembly. The cleanroom also has ISO Class 5 sections for ultraclean assembly.

“It is very unusual for a contract manufacturer to have invested in the expensive cleanroom facilities required for MOEMS,” Plank said. “Micro-assembly is clearly the way of the future as electronics continues to shrink, especially in, for example, implantable medical devices and LED/OLED lighting.”

Glossary
cleanroom
An area in which airborne particulates can be monitored and controlled so that given size particles do not exceed a specified concentration, thereby eliminating potential dysfunctions in gyroscopes, ball bearings and other materials and lubricants.
micro-optics
Micro-optics refers to the design, fabrication, and application of optical components and systems at a microscale level. These components are miniaturized optical elements that manipulate light at a microscopic level, providing functionalities such as focusing, collimating, splitting, and shaping light beams. Micro-optics play a crucial role in various fields, including telecommunications, imaging systems, medical devices, sensors, and consumer electronics. Key points about micro-optics: ...
