8. April 29, 2005 - J. Incandela 8 Planning and rates All indications are that UCSB and FNAL can both now comfortably do 7 plates per 8 hour day and probably can do 8 per day at least 50% of the time. We are continuing to make improvements to achieve higher rates: Streamlining some of the gantry operation (eliminating surveys on gantry for all but one plate per day at FNAL) Exchanging UCSB KS 8060 with an FNAL KS 8090 to reach higher module wirebonding rates at UCSB Both sites have been continuing to ramp up manpower Planning for TEC production (JI with Lenny Spiegel) I have asked FNAL to consider making 5 TEC R7 plates for production of 12-15 R7 modules per day starting November 2005. Cost does not look terribly high – rough estimate is now around 130k$-200k$ for 4 months including equipment and all manpower but this needs to be refined. UCSB would assist with wirebond fixtures, shipping boxes, programs for testing etc. Will need to get such a plan formally approved and have SC support for use of US contingency

10. April 29, 2005 - J. Incandela 10 Amtech Hybrids (D. Stuart) Status: We received 5 electrical prototypes from Amtech, 3 TEC and 2 TOB. Four of the five tested good. The fifth had a fatal bonding problem on one line. Visual inspection of the hybrids indicates some quality issues that need to be addressed: - The inner row of redundant bonds on the back end of the APV chip have been touched by the bonding wedge. This pushes them down and puts a nick in the wires. The wires pass pull tests, but this is a robustness concern. We are discussing optimal bonding parameters to avoid this. Inspection of the standard hybrids from HSA show that the same thing is happening to them. Some of the parts had stray solder splashes. This needs to be addressed with more cautious solder application and/or kapton masking. Schedule: Three or four more weeks are needed for qualification: two weeks to finalize the new bonding parameters and one or two more weeks to assemble and inspect the remaining mechanical and electrical prototypes. Beginning ~July 1, we expect they can assemble 100 in the first week while D. Stuart is there for rapid inspection. If the inspection and testing of these are successful, the full rate of 200/week can begin the second week of July.
