Meyer Burger Supplies CONx Microfab R&D and Pilot Production System at NextFlex
June 2, 2017 | Meyer BurgerEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Meyer Burger, in partnership with DuPont, Eastman Chemical and Intrinsiq Materials, is delivering a CONx Microfab cluster tool that includes two PiXDRO IP410 inkjet printing systems, a FLEx LT PECVD deposition system, automation, and on-board metrology that will enable multilayer, multi material additive depositions for complex FHE structures.
Meyer Burger’s fully automated GEN2.5 multi-process CONx Microfab will be used to manufacture FHE (Flexible Hybrid Electronics) devices and will leverage key partners’ materials for development and product prototyping. The dual-station dual-head inkjet printing capability enables real-time metrology for advanced process control and world-record sub-15-micron feature-size printing. Maximum flexibility in product prototyping is achieved by quick change-outs of digital image, recipe and print head assembly thereby substantially shortening time-to-market and significantly reducing risk in volume ramp-up.
NextFlex, America’s Flexible Hybrid Electronics Manufacturing Institute was formed in 2015, by the Department of Defense (DoD) and FlexTech Alliance to advance manufacturing of FHE in the US. As part of its mission, NextFlex is issuing project awards for promising applications that focus on establishing capability in critical gap areas for flexible hybrid electronics manufacturing. This clearly demonstrates the continued confidence of industry leaders in the widespread adoption of FHE and helps transform FHE into a commercially viable industry. The field of flexible electronics is very promising, and the development of hybrid manufacturing capabilities that include printing and traditional silicon-based electronics is seen as a strong option going forward.
For more information visit our booth 3013 at the upcoming FLEX Conference (June 19-22, 2017) in Monterey, CA (USA) where Meyer Burger is going to present the latest developments in CONx systems as well as technology and applications specific to FHE.
