3D-Micromac receives order for new microMIRA excimer laser lift-off system from dpiX for X-ray sensor manufacturing

“In evaluating various laser approaches for our manufacturing needs, 3D-Micromac’s microMIRA laser lift-off system provided the best possible combination of cost of ownership, throughput and uniformity results,” stated Frank Caris, President and CEO of dpiX. “We look forward to installing this system in our production fab for use in manufacturing our latest silicon-based X-ray sensor arrays.”

In addition to its high configurability, speed and uniformity, 3D-Micromac’s microMIRA laser lift-off system provides many other benefits, including:

• Force-free and extremely selective laser processing
• No damage due to thermo-mechanical effects
• Low production costs, including the ability to recycle/reuse carrier substrates
• Elimination of costly and polluting wet chemical processes
• Easy integration of adjacent manufacturing steps for greater fab productivity

“Our new microMIRA laser lift-off system takes advantage of the extensive process and applications knowledge we have built up from the more than 400 3D-Micromac laser systems installed and in use worldwide to date, including systems used for display and microelectronics manufacturing,” stated Uwe Wagner, 3D-Micromac’s chief technology officer. “We look forward to closer engagement with dpiX to explore new opportunities and applications that can benefit from our laser products, processes and expertise.”

3D-Micromac will showcase its suite of laser processing systems for display manufacturing, including the new microMIRA laser lift-off system, at the 55th SID International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, also known as Display Week 2018, being held May 20-25 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Attendees interested in learning more about these products are invited to visit the company’s booth #631.
