Contract Granted for UV Laser Drilling Systems

Electro Scientific Industries Inc. of Portland, Ore., will supply multiple orders of its new model ICP5650 dual-head, UV laser microvia drilling system to a Korean semiconductor packaging manufacturer that also has used the predecessor model. The purchaser will employ the systems to drill microvias in the integrated circuit packages that are used in consumer electronics. The new model features an ultrahigh-speed digital beam positioning module as well as an enhanced pulsed rate for via formation.

There are 442 suppliers of Lasers in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

nano: An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
