Qtrex AME System Successfully Moves to Production Stage

Qtrex Quantum announced that one of the largest U.S.-based interconnect manufacturers has moved Qtrex's AME system from a development environment onto its production floor following a validation program. The U.S.-based manufacturer used Qtrex's AME technology to produce multiple components and to validate the related manufacturing and assembly process. The validation program included hundreds of technical and process evaluations covering reliability, mechanical vibration, environmental exposure, humidity, assembly integration and yield performance. The AME-enabled manufacturing process achieved 97% yield, representing a manufacturing validation for AME-enabled production of high-density interconnect structures. The company said, "The production milestone comes as advanced electronics manufacturers face growing pressure to deliver higher-density interconnects, tighter mechanical integration, advanced materials performance, improved thermal management and increasingly demanding signal-integrity requirements. These challenges are increasingly difficult to solve with conventional manufacturing methods. Qtrex's AME technology addresses this gap by enabling complex 3D structures that integrate dielectric and conductive materials into a single monolithic unit, a unique capability worldwide."
