Markets & Applications

The demand for faster yet smaller microchips is pushing semiconductor manufacturers into looking for new business solutions in their rapidly changing manufacturing environments. They are calling for leading-edge technology and flexible processes to give them a head start in highly competitive markets.

This has lead to the development of enabling technologies for Advanced Packaging with Wafer Level Packaging as the preferred method for connecting the semiconductor chip to the chip carrier or printed circuit board. SUSS MicroTec is seen as a leading supplier for this industry with high-precision lithography equipment.

As interconnect densities increase together with costs of IC manufacturing in leading technology nodes 3D architectures for IC integration and packaging are becoming viable alternatives to the standard 2D designs. SUSS technology is leading the way in the advancement of 3D applications with precision equipment solutions enabling the development of production-ready 3D processes. Sub-micron alignment accuracy combined with unmatched process parameter control allow our customers to meet today’s and future 3D processing requirements.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), also known as Microsystems have an enormous impact across the industrial spectrum. With a complete range of process equipment for MEMS, SUSS MicroTec has positioned itself as the leader in high-yield MEMS manufacturing. Our innovative solutions range from nanoimprinting systems, photoresist and dielectric coat/bake/develop tools, mask aligners, wafer bonders to probers.

All compound semiconductor materials pose specific challenges to the equipment set, whether it’d be wafer size, fragility or even porosity of the material. SUSS equipment is widely installed for these materials and incorporates specialized hardware such as custom-designed coater end effectors, exposure tool chucks, or optical sensors for handling or pre-aligning these unique wafers.

Our commitment to superior performance has made SUSS MicroTec a partner for those markets. By using SUSS’ leading-edge technology and applications our customers meet volume requirements while significantly reducing cost of ownership.
