ioTech’s io600 Wins Prestigious EIC Accelerator Award for Semiconductor Innovation
January 31, 2025 | ioTechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Reophotonics Ltd, a member of the ioTech group, is proud to announce it has received the highly prestigious EIC Accelerator Award from the European Innovation Council (EIC) and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). This recognition highlights the transformative impact of the io600 Digital Deposition System on semiconductor manufacturing.
The EIC jury praised the io600 as a “game-changer,” citing its ability to strengthen and scale up production and innovation across Europe’s semiconductor value chain. This award aligns with the ambitious objectives of the European Chips Act, which aims to bolster Europe’s competitiveness in the global semiconductor market through innovation, sustainability, and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
“The io600 responds to market needs,” the jury stated. “It will enable further miniaturization, realize features and structures currently impossible to manufacture” and “it will significantly increase throughput, yield, and sustainability.”
By addressing these critical industry challenges, the io600 empowers manufacturers to unlock faster, more accurate, and environmentally friendlier production processes. Its ability to create structures that traditional methods cannot produce marks a significant step forward for semiconductor innovation.
“This award testifies to our commitment to push the boundaries of semiconductor packaging,” said Hervé Javice, CEO of ioTech Reophotonics. “The cutting-edge io600 is perfectly aligned with the objectives of the European Chips Act, and we are proud to play a key role in strengthening Europe’s semiconductor capabilities.”
Reophotonics congratulates the other award recipients and looks forward to further advancing electronics manufacturing through the io600’s revolutionary technology.
