Quartzdyne launched QE last year in response
to customers' needs to upgrade from surface-mount and through-hole circuits
to hybrid technology. By leveraging our hard-earned experience and
know-how on hybrid circuits, QE will manufacture your hybrid to the
high standard you've come to expect from Quartzdyne transducer
hybrids. Our techniques and specialized materials ensure resilient
component attachment and exceptional wirebonds. QE will screen and
qualify your custom hybrid circuit prior to shipment, just as we do
for hybrids used in our transducers.
QE will build your hybrid circuit, allowing
you achieve longer life, higher temperature
operation, reduced circuit size, and rugged packaging for severe downhole
environments. To demonstrate the long life at high temperature
provided by our hybrid electronics, we've deliberately destroyed thousands
of circuits in our
lifecycle tests
since 1998. Although the up-front costs of die acquisition
and layout are higher for hybrids, the revenue generated from increased
tool up-time can easily compensate for the
initial investment.
