High-quality, cost-effective outsourced semiconductor assembly & test

Outsourced Semiconductor
Assembly & Test

Filtronic have a strong track record in providing hybrid manufacturing services such as outsourced semiconductor assembly and test. Our Sedgefield facility is equipped with a fully automated hybrid manufacturing line. With a total area of 1200m², we have 200m² of clean rooms and engineering labs, as well as nearly 500m² of ESD safe work areas.

We can successfully manufacture to our customers design, or take that design and improve integration, to deliver improved performance, reducing size and weight, and increasing power. We have expertise in value engineering a customers design or providing input into thermal management to improve quality and reliability. Equally we have a strong team of process engineers that have demonstrable experience in process improvement that will improve yield.

Supply chain resilience

Filtronic has a well-established global supply chain with strong supplier partnerships, and our buying power is increased by leveraging demand from multiple clients, which can result in significant BoM cost reduction. Our supplier partnerships include MMIC foundry and semiconductor vendors.

Screening

As part of the product design and microelectronic manufacture process Filtronic offer a comprehensive range of screening services. Filtronic has a range of in-house thermal HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) chambers which provide rapid temperature cycling of up to 60°C/Min ramp rate for screening out latent defects.

Dual sourcing

At Filtronic we have the capacity, experience and the expertise to design and manufacture high performance RF products at Microwave and mmWave. We are equally comfortable manufacturing to a customer’s design, as we are designing and manufacturing our own high-performance products. Alternatively, we love working with our clients, fusing their core competencies with ours to optimise their original design.
