Materion Purchases Lid Product Line from Micross Components

Materion Microelectronics & Services, a Materion Corporation business, is proud to announce that it has purchased the capabilities of the epoxy-coated lid product line from Micross Components USA, allowing it to offer the RF and microwave markets both the ceramic package and its matching epoxy-coated lid.

This acquisition provides Materion Microelectronics & Services with the equipment to add epoxy to our ceramic (alumina) and metal (Kovar™) lids. Epo-Lids™ (epoxy lids) can now be purchased along with Materion’s matching Cu-Pack™ and RF packaging products. “From a design and seal process, as well as overall logistics and cost perspective, customers will benefit greatly when purchasing both the lid and package from Materion,” states Richard Koba, Product Market Manager, Materion Microelectronics & Services. “Our new offering of Epo-Lids™ is expected to have consistent seals and excellent product repeatability.  Additionally, the epoxy has an extended shelf life.”

The new Epo-Lids™  complement Materion's current microelectronic package lid offering that includes Combo-Lids™, Micro-Lids™, Seam Seal Lids, Solder Reflow Lids, Visi-Lids™, and ceramic and non-magnetic lids for specialty applications. Materion is currently tooled for over 100 epoxy-coated lids, and its on-site  tooling capabilities allows it to produce new lid designs to meet specific customer requirements.  This new addition to the lid product line heightens Materion’s ability to serve as the “Customers’ First Choice” for standard or custom lids needs.
