Our bonding technology is innovative, strong, durable, hermetic, low-stress and works without additive materials.
With its principles discovered in 2016 and further developed since, the patented Impulse Current Bonding (ICB) technology allows different types of glasses to be bonded to ceramics and to metals such as stainless steels, titanium and aluminium, at low temperature.
Derived from ICB, our Adhera technolgy significantly improves the adherence of thin layers such as PVD, and CVD. AdHera post-processed thin films offer better mechanical resistance e.g. when the material is subjected to minor deformation.
Sy&Se SA specializes in bonding glass to metals and ceramics at low temperature. Its award-winning and patented Impulse Current Bonding (ICB) technology was industrialized in close collaboration with equipment manufacturers. It has been rigorously tested for a wide range of applications aligned with the roadmaps of leading global high-tech groups. The applications cover Semiconductors and MEMS, Mobile Devices and Telecom, Aerospace and MedTech, and Watchmaking and Luxury Goods.
The semiconductor industry mainly relies on anodic or complex bonding processes. Sy&Se's ICB offers a seamless alternative, cutting bonding time and reducing temperatures to 100–250°C. It also enables bonding of novel material pairs – crucial for AI chips, photonics, power electronics, optronics, and advanced 5G and 6G telecom.
The relentless drive for performance in connected mobile devices and telecommunications demands constant innovation in microelectronics, materials science, and manufacturing techniques. Sy&Se's patented technologies deliver cutting-edge solutions to meet these challenges, optimizing displays, HMI, 5G and 6G components, antennas, optronics, and packaging.
Aerospace and MedTech demand exceptional reliability and durability in demanding environments. Sy&Se’s low-temperature, high-tightness bonding solutions provide a superior alternative for critical components requiring long-term stability and hermetic sealing. Sy&Se's biocompatible ICB process enables the creation of specialized devices and surgical instruments, ensuring safer and more durable medical innovations.
Watchmaking is the ultimate art of precision assembly where adhesives often pose challenges related to quality and aging. Sy&Se’s ICB offers a cost-effective, durable alternative, for bonding various glass types to sapphire, ceramics, and metals such as stainless steel and titanium. Additionally, it enhances the longevity of luxury goods by improving adhesion for both functional and aesthetic thin-film coatings.
