HIBRID INTEGRATED MODULES
 At the "Metalokeramika" Company a flexible technological production line has been created for the manufacture of miscellaneous structural designs of custom-made to order thick layer hybrid ICs:
 1. Resistive and transistor sets
characterized by very narrow tolerances of electrical resistance (0.1%; 0.5%; 1 %; 2%; 5%), very good thermal coefficient, of electrical resistance, retention of parameters up to 10.000 h, up to 20 years life-span, resistance to corrosion in salt mist media, frost, moulds, high or low pressures. The operational temperature range is between - 60° С and + 85°C.
 2. Digital and analogue circuits for surface mounting
 3. Thick layer hybrid circuits with chip and wire bonding
- components for low frequency and UHF design and possibility for bonding microband connections in UHF packages up to 15 deep
 4. High power hybrid thick layer circuits in sealed and plastic packages with possibility for fixing to the heat sink components with high coefficient of power dissipation.
 5. Hybrid ICs for mixed assembly of conventional and surface mounted (SMD) components
 6. Contemporary circuits for operation under elevated pressure with wire bonding, with droplet protection and verification.
 The basic stages of the technological process are achieved by semi-automatic work sites in an effort to create better flexibility in the implementation of the production of small, but flexible circuit designs. The equipment offers the following possibilities according to the different processes:
- design
- optimization of the electrical diagram according to basic elements using the available software packages through matching the parameters of the separate elements;
- development of the technology using a computer aided design system B/CAD of the "BINDER" Company, Federal Republic Germany.
 The time required for the preparation of the topological layers of a circuit with 10 components for assembly, 10 resistors and size 1" х 1" is up to 2 working days.
 - preparation of photo tools according to the layout - performed with the aid of a photo-plotter "MIVA" - FRG which operates all known and used up to now formats ( Hewlett Packard, Glaser, IBM, etc.) or with inherent assigned apertures and pitches. Due to the unique system for creating the image by a TV picture tube instead of a scanning beam, the speed for the preparation of a 2" х 2" photo tool is up to 10 minutes. The positioning accuracy is ± 1 цт and resolving power - 10 цт.
 - photographic processing of the photo tools - performed with a combined photographic unit "RAPI-LINE" - FRG with strict reproducibility of the image parameters.
- preparation of the screens,
 - screen printing of the circuits - carried out by semi-automatic machines "Cw-Prise" - USA with a TV camera for joint adjustment of the images and very accurate individual adjustment of speed, off set and pressure of the squeegee, leveling the height of the screen, vacuum positioning of the substrate, etc.
 -drying of the pastes-a "BINDER"
 - FRG dryer is used, with good protective convection of air at an accuracy of ± 1° С temperature control.
 - laser trimming of resistors - carried out by a MLS trimmer - FRG. It is possible to check all resistors simultaneously in order to achieve functional trimming of already mounted circuits.
The measurement range is 0.1 ohm -100 Mohm, voltage measuring range is up to 100 V. The accuracy of beam positioning is 2,5 цт, reproducibility of positioning is less than 10 цт.
 - scribing of the circuits - carried out with a disk scriber "DISCO DAD"
 - Japan and manual scriber with notching "ATV" - FRG. The smoothness of the scribed edge offers a possibility to manufacture circuits for GHF instruments and devices.
 -mounting of SMD -surface mounted devices - is carried out with a semi-automatic machine Funk und Meyer - 204 - FRG. Number of types of components - 64. It is possible to work with cassettes, sticks, magazines, trays and loose bulk components.
 - bonding - wire bonders are used
 - "Mech-cl" - FRG and "Hybond"
 - USA with possibilities for bonding with aluminium and gold wire 12
 - 100 urn diameter and gold strip for UHF devices.
 - protective encapsulation of the bonded devices - droplet protection and vitrification by manipulators and doser unit "ATV" - FRG.
 - alloying and reflow of the surface mounted devices in a conveyor furnace for alloying "Ersa" - FRG with very strictly controlled temperature profile.
 -mounting of leads-carried out with manually operated units "Komatel" for SIL and OIL terminal leads.
 - tin plating of the leads - carried out with a wave soldering unit "Kon-tasold"
 - functional evaluation of the circuits
 - carried out with individual testers under maximum simulation of the operating conditions of the circuits.
 - reliability tests - performed with a test bench for impacts and vibrations, a thermal cycling chamber Weiss, chamber for humid heat "ILKA" - GDR, a salt mist chamber, etc.
 
 In case a skilfull balancing between the possibilities of the parameters of the equipment is achieved, the production line has a capacity to manufacture 1.5-2 million ICs with average complexity annually. The time required for implementing a circuit, starting from the reception of the electrical diagram up to the implementation in the production is between 20 and 45 days, depending on the functional complexity of the IC.


 Application: in the industrial electronics, automotive electronics, management and control techniques, space technology, sensor-transducer techniques, medical equipment, telecommunication, etc.
