SCTB NORD was established in 1991 in Russia. And currently the company is incorporated into the Japanese corporation – FerroTec corp.

Our specialists have been working in the industry of thermoelectricity for over 30 years. Nowadays NORD is specializing in manufacturing the modules with special properties.

Let us point out few technologies that enable us to provide the unique properties of thermoelectric module:

1. Application of polycrystalline TE material (patented)
2. Specific assembly technologies on the basis of elastic layers (patented)
3. Multilayer flexible Ni plating technology.
4. Application of gold plating onto Ni barriers.

Applied polycrystalline material produced by extrusion has a considerably better mechanical strength in comparison with melted TE materials. It allows us to avoid the problems with built-in defects, arising in pellets during exploitation and particularly during the soldering process, when heating up at reflow process and then cooling down, which leads to strong mechanical stress. It is next to impossible to detect the cracking of fragile pellets made of melted TE material and they play a main role in failures of modules.

NORD has the ability to apply high temperature solder with low active flux, due to the technology of Au-plating, which is the application of a gold layer on the Ni barriers in semiconductor wafers, thus decreasing the probability of statistic defects in solder junctions.

Moreover, use of low active flux decreases the risks, of corrosion of the contacts which might appear due to condensed moisture inside the module, while it is in use.

All of our modules contain an elastic glue layer on the cold side of a module, between copper pads and ceramic substrates. We patented and applied this technology since 1996. This approach gave us a possibility to increase the cycling reliability of modules by more than 100 times.

Our company, SCTB NORD, besides having the production facility in Moscow, has one more facility, situated in Russian province, with similar manufacturing volumes, capacities and capabilities. Thus, enabling us to produce a less expensive product due to less expensive labor costs, featuring the same quality and reliability as the one manufactured in Moscow.

SCTB NORD possesses the state-of-the-art technology, such as high temperature soldering using Au/Sn solders as well as soldering in flux free environment, which are some of the key aspects of manufacturing modules for the telecom market.

In view of possibilities of our own industrial workings out and production potential we guarantee low prices of our production at its superior and stable quality.

We are readily available to provide you with the free samples and appropriate technical documentation, so that you could evaluate the supreme quality and outstanding performance of our product.
