Concept, Design and Prototype

---

Silonex provides a full range of services for product design and solution development. The Silonex development team works with design tools that allow them to move quickly from the concept stage to prototypes and manufacturing.

• Latest 3D CAD, PCB Design and Optics Design Software
• Chip on board design on ceramic and laminate substrates
• Complex plastic parts design for injection and DSL
• Design of electronic packages and solutions
• Design of complex lens and light gathering solutions

Silonex brings strong expertise in silicon based optoelectronic devices - photodiodes, phototransistors, LED's - in mechanical and optical design, in electronics and in the definition of validation and test programs for optoelectronic sensors.

The microelectronic development team brings in-depth expertise in ceramic and composite substrate processing and high-density metallization by thick film methods, and in surface-mount packaging.

State-of-the-art design tools are available such as the Pro/Engineer software program for 3D modeling. It facilitates the verification of the mechanical inter-compatibility of system elements, and provides a powerful tool to communicate concepts to customers for review. Other specialized CAD systems for electronic circuits and for thick film mask design are also available.

By developing close relationships with customers, Silonex successfully creates products that integrate optical design into 3D microelectronic packaging. This innovative approach is particularly suited to the increasing market demand for cross-functionality and cost effectiveness. From standard to advanced microelectronics, Silonex design capability is supported by a broad mix of manufacturing technologies ideal for:

• Rapid product introduction to market
• 3D prototyping
• High-density electronic packaging
• Internal validation of new products through integrated manufacturing lines
