NATO Supply Class 3670 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 36, which is dedicated to Special Industry Machinery. Specifically, Class 3670 focuses on Specialized Semiconductor, Microcircuit, and Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing Machinery.

This class includes machinery and equipment that are specifically designed and used for the manufacturing processes involved in the production of semiconductors, microcircuits, and printed circuit boards. These processes typically involve intricate and precise operations, such as etching, deposition, lithography, and assembly.

The machinery and equipment included in this class may consist of various types of machines, tools, and instruments that are essential for the manufacturing and assembly of specialized electronic components. Some examples of the machinery and equipment that fall under this class include:

1. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment: This includes machines used for processes like wafer fabrication, doping, thin film deposition, and wafer testing.

2. Microcircuit manufacturing equipment: This includes machines used for the assembly and testing of microcircuits, such as wire bonding machines, die attach machines, and automated testing equipment.

3. Printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing equipment: This includes machines used for the production of PCBs, such as PCB drilling machines, PCB etching machines, and PCB soldering machines.

It's important to note that NATO Supply Class 3670 specifically focuses on the machinery and equipment used in specialized semiconductor, microcircuit, and printed circuit board manufacturing. Other types of machinery and equipment used in the broader field of electronics manufacturing may fall under different NATO Supply Classes within NATO Supply Group 36 or other relevant supply groups.

Understanding the NATO Supply Class and Group classifications can be helpful when procuring or discussing specialized machinery and equipment within the NATO context.
