Vacuum Reflow Ovens by ATV Technologie

ATV’s solder reflow ovens (SRO) with rapid thermal annealing (RTA), soldering and brazing capability are multi-purpose “cold wall” process ovens heated by IR filaments. The SRO is ideal for R&D and process development, low to high volume production, with models including bench-top through stand-alone to fully automated high volume systems.

Applications include void-free solder die and substrate attach for power semiconductor and hybrid module assembly, formic vacuum solder reflow, hermetic package lid sealing, flux or flux-less soldering, eutectic solder reflow, high vacuum encapsulation, high temperature processing, getter activation, diffusion and compression bonding etc.

See our “Knowledge Base Document” for a guide to the basics of flux-less solder reflow using Formic Acid.

What is a Vacuum Reflow Oven?

A vacuum reflow oven is a specialized thermal processing system designed to solder components in a controlled environment where air and contaminants are removed using vacuum technology. This process significantly reduces oxidation and void formation in solder joints, ensuring superior reliability and performance for sensitive electronic assemblies.

Key benefits include:

  • Void Reduction: Minimizes air pockets in solder joints for improved thermal and electrical conductivity.
  • Oxidation Control: Vacuum and chamber conditions prevent oxidation, resulting in cleaner, stronger connections.
  • Precision Temperature Profiles: Enables accurate thermal management for complex assemblies and advanced packaging.

Vacuum reflow ovens are widely used in high-reliability sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and semiconductor manufacturing, where quality and durability are critical.
