Morgan Advanced Materials has announced the availability of high purity Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) SiC, a material suitable for semiconductor equipment components. Morgan offers precision-machined RTP edge rings along with gas distribution plates and focus rings for plasma etching. Also available are Metal Organic CVD (MOCVD) components used to manufacture LED lights.

The DC100, a newly launched digital precision dispenser manufactured by Fisnar is now on sale at Ellsworth Adhesives. The new dispenser represents an advancement in dispensing technology that allows the user more control over their dispensing applications, and it brings more functionality to the desktop dispenser.

Curing in 30 minutes at 80°C, three minutes at 100°C or 10 seconds at 150°C with an electrical conductivity of 4 x 10-5Ωcm, Engineered Material Systems' latest conductive adhesive, CA-180, is designed for die attach and general circuit assembly applications. CA-180 is suitable for temperature-sensitive applications, as well as those which require high conductivity interconnects.

Combining simple handling properties with high strength, Master Bond Supreme 10HTF-1 is a single part adhesive/sealant for a variety of applications in the aerospace, electronic, optical, specialty OEM and related industries. At room temperature, this smooth paste system has an 'unlimited' working life and cures rapidly at elevated temperatures.

Heterointerfaces composed of dissimilar materials have been applied to functional devices such as transistors and LEDs. In particular, the best-quality electron system is formed in gallium arsenide heterostructures, where a unique quantum phase was found at low temperature about 30 years ago, the characteristics of which have yet to be clarified.

  Following significant investment, polymer bearings specialist igus now offers 16 different tribopolymer materials in standard DIN ISO 3547-1 dimensions up to diameters of 50mm. This amounts to over 13,000 plain bearings, available for delivery from stock within 24 hours.

Engineered Material Systems is pleased to debut its 535-11M-7 UV cured epoxy, which has been developed to pass the rigorous reliability requirements in disk drive, camera module, photonics and circuit assembly applications. The non-conductive UV cured adhesive is low outgassing,flexible, high strength and does not contain antimony and cures rapidly when exposed to high intensity UV light.

The new Dymax BlueWave QX4, a high intensity spot curing system, is the latest product added to the portfolio of the distributor Ellsworth Adhesives Europe. The system has all the benefits of LED curing technology, contained within in a compact unit. It is comprised of a controller and up to four LED heads, which are available in 365, 385, and 405 nm and can be outfitted with 3-, 5-, or 8-mm diameter focusing lenses.

The WXR 3 range of all-in-one rework stations, the latest additions to Weller’s WX family of products are on sale at RS Components. Compatible with all of Weller’s WX ‘intelligent’ tools, the WXR 3 is a 600W 3-channel rework offering exceptional performance and a number of new innovative features including traceability and bench top control.

Rocket EMS announced it has further enhanced its rework and special project capabilities with the purchase of the AIR-VAC DRS27 Large Format BGA Rework Station. The DRS27 provides the company with unparalleled precision and flexibility for rework and assembly of BGAs, QFNs, CSPs, flip chips, PoP assemblies, 01005s and more.
