Die Attach Process

  • Golden Altos uses state-of-the-art Die Attach equipment for Silver Glass die attach material in order to optimize die planarity and maintain consistent Bond Line Thickness (BLT) on every unit processed.
  • Golden Altos will also use a DESC approved Cyanate Ester (JM7000) die attach material as an alternative to silver glass for use with solder sealed or welded hermetic packages.
  • For builds requiring eutectic die attach, Golden Altos employs workers skilled in this art.

Wire Bonding Capabilities

Golden Altos uses high-speed, fine-pitch wire bonders and offers, as standard, a variety of wire types and diameters. These choices allow us to match the wire bonding to your specific needs. Whether your requirements are high current, high frequency, or anything in between, Golden Altos has a solution for you.
