BURN-IN BOARD DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING FOR EVERY APPLICATION

Burn-in boards are used to test the reliability of semiconductor devices by detecting early failures.

KES Systems has been a leader in designing solutions for high-temperature burn-in for more than 30 years.   Our PCB and burn-in board design team, based in Dallas, Texas, supports customers around the world with high-quality designs for all burn-in board applications.  We can design and build burn-in boards for your requirements as well as custom burn-in chambers.

Our experienced PCB burn-in board designers are ready to work with you on the details of your requirements and, where needed, provide advice regarding best practices for issues such as laminate choice, space, and trace requirements, and other needs.

We have experience designing and building burn-in, HTOL, THB, PTC, HAST, and many other types of reliability boards for practically every system in use - including MCC, Delta-V, Aehr, Eles, Despatch, Hirayama, and of course, KES., as well as many more.

Manufacturing Expertise

KES manufactures burn-in boards from a variety of materials, based upon the end application, for all types of semiconductors, including silicon, GaN, GaAs, SiC, LED, and more.  We have experience with high tg FR4 materials such as Isola 370HR and 185HR, Polymides, Ceramics, Teflon based materials, and others.   We can help you determine the best material for your applications.

We commonly build boards that are used from 125ºc up to well over 200ºc and can help you choose the best materials and BOM components.  Our experience in designing thousands of reliability boards a year enables us to guide our customers with the best choices for high-temperature components such as sockets, passives, connectors, and active components.

KES is also highly experienced in design and manufacturing to reduce the chance of CAF in your finished boards, as well as specialized techniques for high speed and high voltage designs.  Our engineers and designers have designed and built boards down to 0.3mm pitch BGAs.   And our custom socket group can help solve challenges you may face with unique package or application requirements. Whatever your requirements for burn-in board manufacturing and design are, KES is the best choice to help you achieve your goals and timelines.

In addition to traditional burn-in and HTOL testing, KES has decades of experience in designing and manufacturing boards for PTC, HAST, THB, EOL, Rad Hard, and other test environments.

KES focuses on your specification to provide the best results all while maintaining low test cost per DUT.

Automotive Burn-In

With the growth of semiconductor content in automobiles of all types, the applications have grown as well.   Battery Electric Vehicles, Hybrids, and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles are now more common.  And this segment of the market is growing.  With that growth, is the need for more burn-in of high voltage devices used in battery management and many other uses.  ADAS has also driven the growth of sensors and the burn and test of these devices have come with new requirements.

KES is experienced in all these applications and the burn-in board design for them.   We can also provide a full turnkey service included boards, sockets, systems, and/or burn-in services.

For every application, environment, or platform, KES is the burn-in board manufacturer more companies trust.  We serve nine of the top ten largest semiconductor companies in the world, and we also serve many of the small and mid-sized companies in the industry.   KES will treat your project with the attention and care it deserves and the quality you expect.

As a burn-in board manufacturer, KES has nearly four decades of experience producing boards of the highest quality for the semiconductor industry.   Our customers include nine of the ten largest semiconductor companies in the world.   These companies have trusted KES with the design and manufacturing of burn-in boards, burn=in services and much more.   And so can you.

Burn-in Board Cleaning

Once your high-temperature semiconductor burn-in board is delivered and in use for a few months, we strongly recommend regular burn-in board cleaning using our KES Klean Contact System to extend the life of the board and keep yields at their highest levels.
