Mycronic Receives Order for FPS10 Evo
December 19, 2022 | Mycronic ABEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Mycronic AB has received an order for an FPS10 Evo from a new customer in Asia. The order value is in the range of USD $9-12 million and constitutes Mycronic’s first order for this product. Delivery of the system is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024.
The FPS 10 Evo is a new product in the FPS Evo series for writing photomask to produce Fine Metal Masks, which are used in the process of depositing the organic material in OLED displays. The system enables the larger photomask size needed to produce the Fine Metal Masks required in G8 OLED display fabs, providing more cost efficient production of larger sized OLED displays than current G6 fabs.
“It is exciting to be able to add a new FPS to our product portfolio and with this attract a new customer. FPS10 Evo is our second launch of a new mask writer in 2022. With the FPS10 Evo we are able to provide an attractive solution for production of Fine Metal Masks to the growing market for larger OLED displays” says Charlott Samuelsson, Sr VP Pattern Generators at Mycronic.
Mycronic’s Pattern Generators division provides mask writers for display manufacturing and production of semiconductors.

Exploring Innovation Through Alternate Metals and Sputtering
11/11/2024 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Dr. Evelyne Parmentier has a PhD in physical chemistry from ETH Zurich. She was born in Luxembourg and is now a proud resident of Switzerland, where she has been part of Dyconex’s R&D engineering team for the past two years. Evelyne gave a presentation at the EIPC Summer Conference titled “Functionalization of Printed Circuit Boards Through Introducing Alternate Metals Through Sputtered Layers,” where she asked her audience, “If there are 93 metals in the periodic table, why are we not using more of them?”

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/01/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineIt’s been a busy week in PCB design, fabrication, and assembly. We published some mixed news about the EMS segment, and an article about the supply chain. Are companies holding onto too much inventory? After the recent supply chain snafus, I can certainly understand why they might. We have an article about liquid metal ink, a cool new technology developed by LDQX, formerly known as Averatek. We also have an article about fighting advanced counterfeiting methods, and news about an acquisition by Siemens.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Direct Metallization
10/21/2024 | Carmichael Gugliotti, MacDermid AlphaCarmichael Gugliotti of MacDermid Alpha discusses the innovative realm of direct metallization technology, its numerous applications, and significant advantages over traditional processes. Carmichael offers an in-depth look at how direct metallization, through developments such as Blackhole and Shadow, is revolutionizing PCB manufacturing by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. From its origins in the 1980s to its application in cutting-edge, high-density interconnects and its pivotal role in sustainability, this discussion sheds light on how direct metallization shapes the future of PCB manufacturing across various industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and beyond.
