How we work

Clear ordering paths, lead times, and MOQ expectations — so you know exactly how to evaluate standard SiC and ALN submounts in small volume and when you are ready for custom production.

Quick answer

For small-volume evaluation, order standard sample boxes or catalog part numbers only (2–4 weeks). Custom submounts require a typical MOQ of 2,000 pieces — send drawings to info@ferralink.com for quote and lead time after review.

Standard samples (small volume)

Evaluate FerraLink material in your lab before any custom commitment. Standard catalog geometries only — not a substitute for custom production orders.

  • ALN sample box — $250 (10 × FL-ALN-035455-001 or catalog sizes)
  • SiC sample box — $500 (10 × FL-SiC-035455-001 or catalog sizes)
  • Individual catalog samples — from $25 (ALN) / $50 (SiC)
  • Lead time: 2–4 weeks

Custom submounts (production)

Custom chip size, thickness, pad geometry, or metallization stack. Send design files for quote and lead time after engineering review.

  • Typical MOQ: 2,000 pieces per custom geometry
  • Accepted files: DXF, DWG, Gerber, STEP, PDF drawing
  • Metallization: Ti/Pt/Au, Ti/Ni/Au, Au/Sn 80/20, and variants
  • Lead time: quoted per project after DFM review

Frequently asked questions

What is the MOQ for custom SiC or ALN submounts?expand_more
Custom sizes, thicknesses, and metallization stacks typically require a minimum order quantity of 2,000 pieces. For evaluation before committing to custom production, order standard sample boxes or individual catalog part numbers — no custom MOQ applies to in-stock standard geometries.
How do I order samples for a small-volume evaluation?expand_more
Use the standard sample program only: ALN sample box ($250, 10 pieces) or SiC sample box ($500, 10 pieces), or individual catalog samples from $25 (ALN) / $50 (SiC). Lead time is typically 2–4 weeks with full material documentation.
What lead time should I expect?expand_more
Standard sample boxes and catalog part numbers: 2–4 weeks. Custom geometries and metallizations (2,000 pc MOQ): lead time is quoted per project after drawing review — typically longer than catalog samples and confirmed in your quote.
What documentation ships with each lot?expand_more
Material certificate of conformance, lot traceability, metallization specification, and characterization data where applicable (SEM/EDS for SiC sample programs). Custom orders include agreed inspection records per your qualification requirements.
