Horsburgh Business number: 714/961-0200 URL Address: RTC @RADIANTTECH.COM Trading Symbol: RTNC Industry: Semiconductor/surface mount Company description: Radiant Technology Corp. (RTC See real time clock. ) was established in 1972, and its stock has been publicly traded since 1979. It designs and manufactures specialized thermal processing equipment and belt conveyor furnaces for the electronics manufacturing This article presents a typical manufacturing process of an electronic assembly. Component manufacturing Components such as resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits are generally made by specialized contractors. industry. The company also services its products and sells spare parts Spare parts, also referred to as Service Parts is a term used to indicate extra parts available and in proximity to the mechanical item, such as a automobile, boat, engine, for which they might be used. Spare parts are also called “spares. . RTC is involved in short wavelength infrared, often call "near-IR," heating technology. Over its 20-year history, RTC has introduced this technology in several segments of the semiconductor packaging and printed circuit board assembly industries. RTC pioneered short wavelength infrared, conveyorized heating systems. Company accomplishments include development of: the first controlled atmosphere A controlled atmosphere is an agricultural storage method. An atmosphere in which oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen concentrations are regulated, as well as temperature and humidity. Two major classes of commodity can be stored in controlled atmosphere. 1. infrared furnace capable of 1,000 degrees Celsius and tight temperature regulation, the first controlled atmosphere infrared furnace capable of achieving and maintaining an atmosphere containing less than 5 parts per million parts per million mg/kg or ml/l; see ppm. oxygen contaminant contaminant /con·tam·i·nant/ (kon-tam´in-int) something that causes contamination. contaminant something that causes contamination. level, and the first controlled atmosphere infrared furnace capable of operating with a hydrogen atmosphere. RTC introduced near infrared technology to the Hybrid (Thick Film) Industry, the Semiconductor Packaging Industry, the Solar Cell Industry and the Printed Circuit Board Assembly Industry because its systems offered customers the benefits of rapid heating response, energy efficiency, patented controlled atmosphere, gas introduction method and increased throughput. Today RTC has over 2,500 systems installed in more than 33 countries worldwide. RTC produces several product lines. The AG-Series and S-Series furnaces are high temperature, controlled atmosphere infrared (IR) systems used in the Semiconductor Packaging market, the Advanced Semiconductor Packaging market, the Solar Cell market and the Hybrid (Thick Film) market. A laboratory furnace, Model LA310, is also available to these markets. RTC has an IR solder reflow (1) The process of heating and melting the solder that has been screen printed onto a printed circuit board in order to bond chips and other components to the board. Surface mount chips (SMT) use the reflow method. Contrast with wave soldering. See also reflowable text. system, the SMD-Series, which may be at the end of its product life. As a follow-on product, RTC developed a "forced convection" reflow solder system. This system utilizes gas amplification techniques with efficiencies approaching 35:1, exhibits the rapid heat-up and cool-down response of IR heating systems, is extremely energy efficient, and can "self-clean" because of its ability to reach temperatures of 400 degrees Celsius. RTC holds numerous patents related to controlled atmosphere, chamber design and redundant conveyance systems. RTC is delivering the first furnace designed especially for the emerging low cost, high volume multichip module market. Additionally, Radiant Technology Corp. recently received an order for the design and delivery of what is to believed to be the first near infrared oven for large flat panel "hang on the wall" television screens. The commercialization of multichip modules and large flat panel displays are new areas of significant growth for the electronics industry. CONTACT: Radiant Technology Corp. |
