RNT Launches Service to Offer Customers Specialized in-House Bonding for Joining Applications Utilizing Company’s Patented Nanofoil®
Hunt Valley, MD – June 15, 2006
RNT, developer and manufacturer of its patented NanoFoil®, which precisely controls the instantaneous release of heat energy for joining and reaction initiation applications, now offers its customers specialized in-house bonding services for the joining of sputtering targets. This bonding technology offers the customers an ability to substitute expensive indium and elastomer bonding with higher melting temperature solders enabling enhanced performance and reliability.
Through this new offering, any customer using NanoFoil to bond sputtering targets to backing plates has expanded options for completing the joining process. They can complete the joining on their own - with training on its patented NanoBond® process provide by RNT – or now take advantage of RNT’s significant expertise and have the joining completed in-house by RNT joining services. In each case the procedure is engineered to meet the specific needs of each client.
“As we expand commercial development of NanoFoil we are discovering new areas of customer need and streamlining in-house capabilities to meet those needs,” notes Jai Subramanian, RNT Director, Joining Product Line. “We are constantly modifying our offerings to ensure any institution benefiting from the significant advancements NanoFoil represents will have easy access to its advantages through RNT’s specialized capabilities.”
Industries served by this new service offering include semiconductors, microelectronics, optical coatings, advanced displays and energy supply devices. As RNT continues to expand commercial distribution of NanoFoil it plans to offer the customized services option for other industries and applications as well.
