4 API Technologies SAW Filter Fabrication 1 Metal Deposition During the DC sputter process, each wafer is individually rotated to ensure the best uniformity of the deposited metal. Our system has multiple sputter targets that allow us to provide a variety of metal alloys that can be chosen to suit the filter performance requirement. High Frequency Lithography Modern stepper imaging technology enables smaller geometries and uniform finger widths as small as 0. microns leading to superior insertion loss and higher frequencies up to 00 MHz. Precision Photoresist Distribution Statistical Process Control is a vital part of all fabrication processes. During our Photoresist application, nine post coat measurements are taken in order to insure consistency and uniformity.

5 Automated Developer Application Having state-of-the-art equipment provides maximum production output paving the way for industry leading delivery times. 0% Testing API Technologies performs 0% on wafer probe testing for every SAW die. This extra step provides superior yield rates and eliminates time wasting rework effort. 5 For more information please call us at

6 Precision Bonding In addition to using Gold wires on all ball bonds, API incorporates a silicon based thermo-set resin, which further dampens stray acoustic energy and reduces signal distortion in the passband. 7 Backside Planar Etching An important step in minimizing bulk modes while at the same time improving spurious rejection is 0% backside particle impingement. This automated process isolates the traveling wave, further enhancing rejection and lowering loss.

7 0% Pre-Aging API Technologies ensures that 0% of its SAW filters are pre-aged at 0 C. This critical stabilization step locks in the center frequency performance to within % of the desired value. 9 Hermetic Sealing API Technologies sealing methods include seam sealing which provides a very reliable hermetic seal, while maintaining a stable environment for the package and its sensitive contents. Hermetic seam sealing also maintains environmental integrity to pass the rigors of MIL-STD- Method 1 Conditions A & C for both gross and fine leak detection. Final Testing Automated test equipment driven by in-house developed software electrically tests each SAW filter for critical parameters including center frequency, insertion loss, bandwidth, and rejection.

8 Superior Quality API Technologies subjects the highest quality control standards to every aspect of production from initial design through the entire manufacturing process. Our Quality Assurance Department maintains tight control of all processes in our ISO 9001:01 certified facility including both material and screening standards, strict lot traceability, and continuous monitoring over all parameters critical to product quality and development. AS90-B (Aerospace) Certification Whether the application is military or commercial, our AS90-B Certification requires exacting process control standards on all filters. SPC for Critical Processes Maintaining control of key processes results in high yields of reliable products. Our careful attention to SPC data for wirebonding, bond pulls, shear strength, and shear rates leads to exceptional quality and reliabilty. Meticulous Documentation Methods All products have complete traceability right down to the components lot numbers. Whether the application is Military or Commercial, thorough record keeping assures our customers get complete satisfaction in all aspects of quality control.

9 API Technologies offers a high level of quality and screening including: Certified to ISO 9001:01 and AS90-B Quality control system compliant to MIL-I-5 and MIL-Q-95 ANSI/Z compliant calibration Screening available to the test methods of MIL-STD-, MIL-STD- and MIL-STD-
