GBC Corporate Spotlight: Crane Aerospace & ElectronicsCrane Aerospace & Electronics

The Electronics Group of Crane Aerospace & Electronics designs and manufactures high-density, high-reliability electronics for aerospace, space, military, medical, industrial and commercial applications. Product and service offerings are organized in solution sets, and include Power Solutions, Microwave Systems Solutions and Microelectronics Solutions.

Our Microelectronics Solutions miniaturizes electronics to reduce weight and size with increased reliability. We provide advanced miniaturization and packaging services from the beginning of the product development cycle into full volume production and beyond.  Our solution features capabilities such as surface mount, chip & wire, die stacking, chip scale packaging (CSP) and gold stud bumping. 

At Crane, our products are manufactured under the brand names Interpoint, ELDEC, and Signal Technology.  For more information on Crane Aerospace and Electronics, visit www.craneae.com and for Crane Co., visit www.craneco.com

 

GBC Corporate Spotlight: TesseraTessera

Tessera Technologies, Inc., invests in, licenses and delivers innovative miniaturization technologies that transform next-generation electronic devices. The company’s micro-electronics solutions enable smaller, higher-functionality devices through chip-scale, 3D and wafer-level packaging technology, as well as high-density substrate and silent air cooling technology.

In the early 1990s, Tessera’s founders invented fundamental packaging technology which is now widely used throughout the semiconductor industry. The company’s innovations include its visionary μBGA® solution, the ground-breaking chip-scale packaging CSP technology, which incorporates the Tessera Compliant Chip (TCC) technology. The µBGA CSP family enables a very short electrical path between the die and the module or printed circuit board (PCB), which allows the package to deliver performance that meets the requirements of memory such as high-performance DRAM.

Tessera continues to innovate and expand upon these technologies. The company’s µPILR™ solution is an advanced packaging solution designed to overcome technical limitations of interconnect, packaging and substrate technologies such as pitch, profile, performance, reliability and test capacity. Tessera’s extensive research and development efforts focus on electronic product miniaturization from a system perspective, specifically through the dense interconnection of components and extensive use of three-dimensional and advanced substrate packaging technologies.

Surface Technology Systems plcSurface Technology Systems plc

Established in 1984, STS is a leading manufacturer of cassette-to-cassette cluster and single/batch loadlocked plasma etch and deposition systems that can be configured with ICP, XeF2 and PECVD sources.

STS products include the market-leading ASE® deep silicon etch process (also known as Deep Reactive Ion Etch or DRIE) for dry, anisotropic, high aspect ratio etching.  This process has been used for over 10 years in MEMS manufacturing and is now a key enabling technology for etching through silicon via (TSV) interconnects for emerging 3D-IC applications.

STS' process technologies are available on a range of platforms which give a logical upgrade path from R&D and pilot production to volume production, without the need for process re-qualification.

STS and their parent company Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd (SPP) operate two manufacturing sites in the UK and Japan, and have Regional Sales/Service Offices in California, Singapore and Taiwan supported by an established network of experienced local agents throughout Europe, USA and Asia.
