Mycronic AB has received an order for an SLX mask writer from an existing customer, for delivery to the United States. The order value is in the range of USD 4-6 million. Delivery of the system is planned for the first quarter of 2024.
The SLX laser mask writer meets rising demand for photomasks for the semiconductor industry and a future need for replacement and modernization. Photomasks manufactured by laser mask writers are of high importance and account for a majority of all photomasks produced for semiconductor manufacturing. SLX is a modern and energy efficient mask writer based on the same technology as Mycronic’s mask writers for displays.
“We are grateful to receive another repeat order for an SLX mask writer from an existing customer increasing its production capacity”, says Charlott Samuelsson, Sr VP Pattern Generators at Mycronic.
Mycronic’s Pattern Generators division provides mask writers for display manufacturing and production of semiconductors.
