Procedure for gluing Si-MCM assembly to C-cage


Start with an assembly (i.e. Si - kapton cable - MCM - MCM output cable) which has passed laser station testing.

This procedure outlines the details of gluing a single assembly to a C-cage. Gluing all of the assemblies to a fully or partially populated cage requires repeating this procedure 6 or 4 times, rotating the C-cage jig for each face.

Steps in the procedure:

  1. Prepare the jig and center the C-cage on the gluing fixture
    This step is only for the first assembly attached to a C-cage and need not be repeated for later assemblies.
  2. Prepare assembly
  3. Glue bias tabs to silicon
  4. Form the cable
  5. Solder bias tabs to kapton cable
  6. Apply glue bead to Rohacell
  7. Align assembly to vacuum pickup fixture
  8. Connect assembly to gluing jig, and allow glue to cure
