Abstract :
Under the NIST ATP-sponsored “precision optoelectronics assembly” program, Adept Technology, Boeing, Dresser Industries, National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, New Jersey Institute of Technology, SDL, and SRI International, are collaboratively developing key enabling technologies for low-cost, flexible, automated assembly of optoelectronics systems. Midway through the program the Consortium has developed a prototype assembly platform. Precision optoelectronics assembly processes for beta-site testing have been defined
