RNT Awarded $1.9 Million in Financing from NIST Advanced Technology Program
September 17, 2003 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Hunt Valley, Md. — RNT has been awarded a $1.9 million grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Advanced Technology Program (ATP).
The funds will be used to establish mass production manufacturing processes geared towards its launch of commercial product to broader markets.
RNT's new technology, expected to be commercially available early next year, is based on a foil that enables rapid joining of similar and dissimilar materials without incurring thermal damage. This technology increases productivity, reduces costs and enables product innovations while overcoming existing technical limitations and promoting the use of lead-free solders. The company will use the ATP funding award to develop methods for patterning mass quantities of foil as well as craft alternative, lower cost methods of manufacturing foil — key activities in preparation for mass product distribution.
The company is currently developing joining and component mounting technologies for the microelectronics industry. RNT is also testing and developing solutions for other applications and industries such as metal-to-metal and metal-to-ceramic joining for aerospace, defense and other industry applications.
RNT provides high-tech products and solutions for component joining in microelectronics, aerospace, defense and other industries. For more information, visit www.rntfoil.com.
The ATP provides cost-shared funding to industry-led teams which can include non-profits and universities to help advance particularly challenging, high-risk R&D projects that have the potential to spark important, broad-based economic or social benefits for the United States.
