HTCX and HTCPX thermal management solutions are enhanced versions of HTC and HTCP. Feature improved thermal conductivity, lower oil bleed, and lower evaporation weight loss. Have been specially formulated by using a proprietary additive to provide a significant increase in thermal conductivity without sacrificing viscosity, consistency or film thicknesses. HTCPX uses various metal oxide (ceramic) powders; reportedly ensure leakage currents cannot be formed if the paste should come into contact with other parts of the assembly. Both contain no silicones and cannot migrate onto electrical contacts.

Rapid Prototyping Services are designed to support the need for faster validation of IC and package designs and speed the transition to full production. Specifically developed to address prototype speed, offering a path to rapidly validate ASIC designs by providing access to advanced interconnect capabilities. Within the medical, communications, defense and measurement markets, three services levels were identified for rapid prototyping-BGA build-to-print, advanced build-to-print and process evaluation build. Entry-level prototyping is offered via BGA build-to-print, assembling JEDEC-standard BGAs in as little as three business days.
