Workflow
01
Concept & Requirement Definition
-
Objective: Define customer application scenarios and core functional requirements
-
HiComp Delivarables: Requirement assessment report, initial design proposal
-
Client Collaboration: Provide application background, literature/patent references, key requirements (throughput, detection principle, etc.)
-
Chips per Month: None (mainly documentation and evaluation)
-
Duration: 2 – 4 weeks
02
Chip Design & Prototype Development
-
Objective: Complete chip structure design and produce first SU-8 molds and PDMS/CNC prototypes
-
HiComp Delivarables: CAD drawings, SU-8 molds, first functional verification chips
-
Client Collaboration: Confirm design, provide testing requirements
-
Chips per Month: 20 – 50 chips/month (small-batch prototypes)
-
Duration: 2 – 4 weeks
03
Function Verification & Optimization
-
Objective: Iterative design and verification to ensure core functions meet requirements
-
HiComp Delivarables: Multiple design iterations, testing reports, optimization plans
-
Client Collaboration: Conduct experimental testing and provide feedback
-
Chips per Month: 50 – 200 chips/month (verification batches)
-
Duration: 2 – 3 months
04
Process Finalization & Pilot Production
-
Objective: Establish stable processes (bonding, packaging, surface treatment), enable consistent small-batch delivery, and develop pilot molds
-
HiComp Delivarables: Process documentation (SOPs), consistency reports, stable small-batch products, pilot molds
-
Client Collaboration: Confirm process plan, provide target testing conditions
-
Chips per Month: 200 – 1000 chips/month (pilot capacity)
-
Duration: 3 – 5 months
05
Mass Production Preparation
-
Objective: Develop mass-production molds and validate large-scale production feasibility
-
HiComp Delivarables: Mass-production molds, process validation reports, quality inspection plans
-
Client Collaboration: Confirm mold structure, define QC standards
-
Chips per Month: 1000–5000 chips/month (scale-up stage)
-
Duration: 3 – 5 months
06
Commercial Mass Production
-
Objective: Stable and continuous large-scale supply to meet commercial demand
-
HiComp Delivarables: Stable mass-produced chips, full QC documentation, packaging and delivery
-
Client Collaboration: Sign long-term supply agreements, provide regular market/application feedback
-
Chips per Month: ≥10,000 chips/month (expandable based on client demand)
-
Duration: Ongoing
