  • Extrusion of substrate material ingots
  • Technologies using Silicon, Compound Silicon carbide (SiC), silicon-on-insulator (SOI), Silicon on sapphire (SOS), Gallium arsenide (GaAs), Germanium (Ge), Indium phosphide (InP)
  • Slicing, epitaxial growth layers, fabrication and testing of wafers, stacked wafers, and systems on a chip (SoC)
  • Dicing, assembly, testing, and packaging of integrated circuits
  • Surface-mount technology (SMT) for printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and testing

Customers fabricate wafers with the expensive process and metrology equipment in cleanrooms ranging from small R&D facilities to large-scale foundry fabs that can cost billions of dollars to outfit and can output as much as millions of dollars of products per day. The tools in different types of fabs are designed for various geometries (75mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 300mm) that can yield up to thousands of die per wafer.

Cost-effective precision manufacturing (including automation) with the highest quality is paramount. Eyelit solutions provide extensive functionality and features to enable customers to efficiently manufacture products with precision-controlled six sigma processes (99.99966% free of defects).

Battery

Slurry Mixing, Electrode Coating, Cell Assembly, Final Sorting & Testing

Eyelit’s clients are developing and delivering the next generation of battery technology for such applications as Electric & Hybrid Electric Vehicles (EV/HEVs), Portable Electronics, Medical Devices, and Electrical Grid Storage. Advanced lithium-ion battery technology leaders select Eyelit products to support their factory build-outs and ramp to high volume.

Eyelit’s software suite supports all facets of battery manufacturing…

Mixing – Eyelit’s batch-tracking, recipe-management, material-traceability, equipment-management, and quality-management combine seamlessly to handle any mixing process. From binder-dissolution and active-material pre-mixing to final slurry mixing and viscosity/solids-content checks, Eyelit controls the whole process. Additionally, any process or quality excursion can be handled dynamically, including notifying QA or Production teams and automatically routing to appropriate rework or viscosity adjustment steps.

Electrode Fabrication – Eyelit handles Electrode Coating, Calendaring, Slitting, and Singulation processes with ease. With numerous split/merge capabilities and consumption controls, Eyelit tracks the full reality of web-breaks, splices, and material consumption through the electrode fabrication process. In addition, Eyelit genealogy/ancestry reports provide clear traceability forward and backward from finished electrodes to the double/single-sided coated rolls, slurry, and foil from which they were made. A robust set of data-collection capabilities along with SPC and tool-run tracking provide numerous options for logging/controlling process-parameters (i.e., drier temperatures) and quality-metrics (i.e., coat-weight and thickness) from both offline and inline (continuous) measurement systems (i.e., inline Beta gauge).

Cell Assembly – From winding & stacking, assembly, and welding (laser & ultrasonic), to filling and sealing or formation and aging, Eyelit can manage all aspects of the cell assembly process. Material-traceability, recipe-management, equipment management, and more can all be brought to bear for unparalleled control of the assembly process. Extensive batch, lot, and component tracking capabilities coupled with tray/carrier-management mean Eyelit can switch back and forth between single-cell tracking and tray/batch-level tracking throughout the cell fabrication process. A variety of timers, notification options, and out-of-the-box reports provide exceptional visibility into the position and status of battery WIP, including physical-location (“In which test rack?”), process-position (“In which formation sub-step?”), and temporal-location (“How long until aging completes?”). Eyelit’s comprehensive automation and integration tools contribute to streamlined user interactions or full-fledged automation.

Sorting & Testing – A flexible equipment-model and tray/carrier-management capability allow Eyelit to keep track of the evolving relationships between cyclers, test-channels, environmental-chambers, test trays/fixtures, and the batteries themselves. Integration with third-party battery test systems (or the cyclers themselves) gives Eyelit access to the critical quality data (capacity, self-discharge, impedance, etc.) used for binning/sorting the final product. Dynamic routing and sampling capabilities can be applied to record and manage sample-based electrical and safety testing (i.e., long-term cycling or short-circuit testing). The sample results can be fed back to accept/reject full batches/groups of cells. Eyelit’s rich feature set offers exceptional control and visibility into any battery sorting and testing process.
