Micromanufacturing
Texas Microfactory™
ARRI is home of the Texas Microfactory
- a collection of assembly and packaging laboratories
for micromanufacturing. An existing 900
ft² class
10k clean room dedicated to heterogeneous microassembly
is currently being expanded to include an additional
900 ft² class
10k/1k/100 lab dedicated to wafer-scale integration.
Additional equipment being installed at the Microfactory
include polymer micromolding and ceramic tape casting,
as well as a precision machine shop (excimer laser micro-EDM
machining).
Our state-of-the-art
equipment includes:
Microrobotics and
Microassembly
- The M³ modular micropackaging system based
on a Motoman RW-161 platform. This platform has multiple
robots with up to 1 micron positioning accuracy,4 end-effectors
and 15 degrees of freedom.
- The µ³ microassembly system including
3 robotic end-effectors with nanometer level precision
positioning. A total of 19 DOF Polytec PI motorized
stages (including servos and piezoactuators) and high
magnification stereo vision is used to perform MEMS
assembly.
- General-purpose National Instruments data acquisition
and control systems and software tools for assembly
planning and execution.
- Micromanipulator probe station with five manual
and motorized probes for MEMS testing and characterization.
- High precision 16 DOF Thor Labs motorized modular stages for micropositioning.
- Vibration isolation tables, fiber-optic tools and materials, UV adhesive and curing system.
- Motorized high magnification microscope cameras
and Labview IMAQ image acquisition software.
- Milliwatt and Watt range lasers, delivery optics, filters, beam-splitters, other optical accessories and calibration tools.
- National Instruments PXI chassis with LCR meter, digital multimeter, digital oscilloscope, data acquisition system, image acquisition and motion control.
