Powerful Capabilities
Program Management
MwT offers customers dedicated program management and project engineering for the program’s duration. This ability is particularly useful for Class K jobs requiring special documentation, source inspections, design reviews, and project scheduling. A cross-functional team, staffed by people from engineering, quality assurance, manufacturing, materials, and document control, assists the project leader until the customer is completely satisfied with the product and service.
Design Expertise
MicroWave Technology has over 34 years of experience developing products for high-reliability applications including wireless infrastructure, industrial RF, and defense/aerospace applications. The design expertise expands from the GaAs/GaN chip and package options, thin film circuitry, SMT technology, to the final functional blocks of various amplifiers. All of MwT’s product design is rooted from the concept that “quality is built in by design”.
Production Environment
Each of MwT’s manufacturing and test areas are maintained at or below Class 100,000, 0.5-micron particles per million (Class 100 for space level modules), and between 30% and 65% relative humidity. MwT has ESD controls in place to meet or exceed the intent of MIL-STD-1686, including a complete network of earth-to-ground rods and wrist straps, which are tested regularly. Most raw material and work-in-process components are stored in nitrogen back filled desiccators to minimize oxidation and other storage related problems.
Manufacturing Operations
MicroWave Technology’s in-house manufacturing process provides a proven technology to manufacture product; includes: hermetic wedge, ball and ribbon bonding; eutectic and epoxy attachment; plasma cleaning; laser sealing; and fine and gross leak detection. MwT has the capability to perform tests over wide temperature, voltage, and frequency ranges, including ACPR, IP3, harmonics, oscillation, and phase noise RF testing.
Process Development & Control
Process controls include equipment calibration and maintenance programs. All required manufacturing and test equipment are calibrated per MIL-STD-45622 and records are maintained. Preventive maintenance on all equipment is conducted regularly. MwT’s qualified personnel provide the infrastructure to support production requirements from high-end commercial applications to high reliability programs requiring vigorous screening and qualification testing. To ensure qualified employees, MwT formally trains each employee to the requirements of their respective processes.
Material Procurement & Logistics
Using an audit and rating system, MwT’s Supplier Assessment Program governs all procurement activity. Also all procurement activities use lot traceability and specification control as primary objectives. MwT uses an MRP system to aid the planning and control of, the entire production flow, for both large and small production runs. MwT’s materials staff works closely with sales personnel to support customer delivery inquiries and status updates. Complete and timely production information is a quick phone call or e-mail away.
Product Environmental Screening
MicroWave Technology’s quality and screening tests are performed on each individual wafer for high-reliability products. All quality and reliability testing methods are based on appropriate military standards, such as MIL-STD-750, MIL-STD-883 and MIL-PRF-38534. Customized screening flows can be provided to accommodate your needs, including MIL-PRF-38534, Class H or Class K with full element evaluation and Group testing. Call or fax MwT’s sales department or local sales representative for more information on these options.
Manufacturing Process Control & QA
MicroWave Technology maintains close surveillance monitors of its manufacturing processes to assure consistency of product quality through: material qualification, calibration of measurement equipment, preventive maintenance of manufacturing equipment, on-line monitors to validate process/product conformance at critical stages of the manufacturing, work instruction and operator training, traveler documentation for product identification and traceability of processing events, program management coordination, and final inspection to validate compliance.
Dedicated to Continuous Improvement
MicroWave Technology employees understand continuous improvement to mean continuously searching for improvement in all processes of the company from product development to shipping.
