Mycronic AB has received an order for an SLX mask writer from an existing customer in Asia. The order value is in the range of $5 - $7 million. Delivery of the system is planned for the second 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.

SLX is a modern and energy efficient mask writer based on the same technology as Mycronic’s mask writers for displays.
“This repeat order from an existing customer shows that global demand for photomasks to the semiconductor industry remains solid and that the modern SLX platform is well suited to meet our customers’ high expectations”, says Charlott Samuelsson, Sr VP Pattern Generators at Mycronic.
Mycronic’s Pattern Generators division provides mask writers for display manufacturing and production of semiconductors.
