Halcyon has continuously supported the electronic sensor areas of biology through working with the California Institute of Technology, Information Sciences Institute, Ames Research Labs, Kennedy Space Center and Jet Propulsion Laboratories. Our work with the Electronic Nose (E-NOSE) has won Halcyon a Certificate of Recognition from NASA in the 1999. Other Programs have included a seven sensor electrometer module, galvanic corrosion sensing arrays using eight different metallizations in one module, water quality sensing arrays, microbe growth analysis chambers/arrays, and development of solid state radiation circuitry able to count levels from .1 Rad to 10 MegaRads. Through our strategic alliances, we have been able to not only assist the programs via metallizations and packaging, but in rapid fabrication and population of PCBs, machining of metals, ceramics, and plastics for chamber construction and development of custom ceramics and semiconductors for a special pH sensing system.

Halcyon can support your programs through not only our technologies, but the experience of all the Engineers on the Halcyon Team to get you a system meeting your application requirements.

Halcyon Solutions
Since 1981, Halcyon has supported the design and/or production of hundreds of different hybrids that range from 3-component, single layer substrate to 500-component and ten layer substrate complexities. In addition, the company has manufactured:

  • MCM and COB on multi-layer FR4 material with 0.4" square gallium arsenide die
  • Hybrids that incorporate power and control circuitry in the same package with solder attached components berrilia substrates and direct bond copper substrates, together with epoxy attached small signal/control component thick film or thin film substrates
  • Hybrids that combine hundreds of SMDs with bare active and passive die(s)
  • Implantable hybrids for the medical industry
  • DC-to-DC converters
  • A-to-D and D-to-A converters
  • Rad Hard power hybrids for space applications
  • Low cost, high volume MCMs for the computer and ATE markets
  • RF modules for defense and optoelectronic industries, and many, many more

Halcyon offers advanced capabilities for a wide range of products and industries requiring assembly of modules, hybrids, MCM and chip-on-board. Over the last decade, Halcyon has participated in some of the most dramatic changes that have taken place in the manufacturing of products for fiber optics, optoelectronics and RF industries.
