PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURE FOR IMPROVED RELIABILITY OF SOLID ELECTROLYTE TANTALUM CAPACITORS.

Abstract

This first quarterly progress report contains a discussion of the objectives of this contract and Sprague's approach to meeting them. Also provided is a description of progress to date, which includes an experimental matrix being run to determine the heat treatment effects on thin oxide films and the crystallization of these films at high temperatures, the starting of 10 experimental lots through the production process, and work toward the mechanization of the assembly operation. Seven of the experimental lots incorporate variations from the standard processing techniques, while the other three are processed in the standard manner and serve as controls. All the lots are to be tested following manufacture to determine the effect of the process variations. The work on the mechanization of the assembly operation involves the design and construction of seven different equipments. The design and preparation of drawings for five of these seven equipments is completed. On the other two, it should be completed shortly. (Author)
