01
Input requirements
Collect sample format, material stack, target output, current issues, and process constraints.
Application engineering before investment
Demo Lab
Validate your samples on representative equipment, compare process routes, and optimise recipes before committing to production equipment. AGA supports proof-of-concept, process development, pilot evaluation, and engineering decision-making for advanced packaging and power electronics.
From concept to production path
The Demo Lab turns early questions into a practical direction — verify feasibility, identify visible risks, choose the next setup, and define the equipment concept for production.

Scale-up
A concise direction for equipment selection, parameter starting point, fixture concept, and follow-up validation.
Why it matters
Reduce technical risk before capital investment
Use real process trials to verify whether the selected equipment, tooling, materials, and parameter windows can meet your manufacturing goals.
Validate feasibility
Run customer samples, check process compatibility, and confirm whether the proposed equipment route can support your target application.
Accelerate development
Shorten internal evaluation cycles by testing key process windows with AGA engineering support and representative demo equipment.
Improve decision quality
Compare workflows and receive practical recommendations for process setup, system selection, and future scale-up planning.
Process capability
Representative demo workflow
A typical power electronics or advanced packaging evaluation can combine material deposition, precision bonding, pressure-assisted sintering, and low-void vacuum soldering.
1
Dispensing
Evaluate material deposition, dot/line consistency, substrate preparation, and process repeatability for early-stage assembly trials.
2
Bonding
Review placement accuracy, bonding sequence, handling concept, and module assembly logic for prototypes or pilot production.
3
Sintering
Develop pressure-assisted sintering windows for semiconductor attach, substrate-to-baseplate attach, and high-reliability interconnects.
4
Vacuum soldering
Validate low-void solder joints and thermal performance requirements for demanding power module and electronics applications.
The exact sequence can be adjusted based on your sample, material
stack, target inspection criteria, and production roadmap.
What we can support
Demo Lab capability scope
Instead of listing equipment photos, this section explains what the lab can help customers verify during an application evaluation.
Sample & feasibility
Can the process work?
Review customer samples and run basic trials to confirm material compatibility, process route, and whether the application is suitable for further development.
- Sample condition and material stack review
- Initial process route confirmation
- Risk points before purchasing equipment
Process trial
What parameters should we start with?
Evaluate practical starting windows for deposition, bonding, pressure, temperature, vacuum, atmosphere, and cycle time based on the customer application.
- Parameter window exploration
- Tooling and fixture concept discussion
- Trial record for engineering review
Quality direction
What result should we look for?
Use trial output to discuss visible quality direction such as void tendency, bond consistency, alignment, wetting behavior, mechanical stability, and repeatability.
- Result discussion after demo trial
- Process weakness identification
- Next experiment recommendation
Scale-up planning
How can this move toward production?
Translate trial learning into an equipment concept, automation level, loading method, throughput assumption, and production implementation path.
- Equipment configuration recommendation
- Manual, semi-auto, or automated route
- Production workflow and layout discussion
Applications
What can be evaluated
The demo facility is most valuable when the customer needs technical evidence before equipment purchase, process transfer, or production scale-up.
Power modules
Module assembly
Die attach, substrate attach, base plate joining, and thermal path validation.
Advanced packaging
Interconnect trials
Sintering, soldering, chip topside contacting, and high-power LED package studies.
Materials
Process window review
Evaluate paste, preform, substrate, tooling, and parameter combinations.
Automation
Workflow planning
Discuss equipment layout, loading concept, throughput assumptions, and future scale-up.
