Rowley, MA — Mycronic AB has launched its SLX, a new, laser-based mask writer for the semiconductor industry. The introduction of the SLX also marks the company’s reen- try into this market, with the first shipment expected around year-end 2020. The SLX is launched to meet a rising demand for low-end pho- tomasks for the semiconductor in- dustry driven by long-term trends as well as to support an upcoming re- placement and modernization cycle. Estimates indicate a total mar-
ket need of five to eight new writers per year in the coming years, with the market for laser-based mask writers estimated at $30 to 50 mil- lion. Despite existing competition in
this segment, Mycronic’s long-term aim is to capture a majority of the upcoming opportunity. Mycronic currently offers new
mask writers for the manufacture of photomasks within different areas of application. These are display manu- facturing (TV, smartphones and tablets) and applications within mul- tipurpose, a broad segment compris- ing many different application areas. Mycronic also services the existing installed base of the semiconductor mask writers Sigma and Omega. Approximately 600,000 pho-
tomasks are produced yearly to sup- port the semiconductor industry and 70 to 75 percent of the masks are low- end, written by laser-based mask
writers. These mask writers remain very important in the production of semiconductors. Investments, howev- er, have been focused on leading-edge capability. In the last few years, the market
for laser-based mask writers has seen a positive development, driven by sev- eral long-term trends. One is that mature design
nodes experience new growth fueled by the Internet of Things (IoT) and automotive solutions, where reliabil- ity and cost are critical. Another trend is the ongoing
buildup of the semiconductor market in China, driving new demand for both leading-edge and low-end equip- ment. In addition, there is an upcom-

ing replacement cycle in the low-end mask writer segment. The installed base serving this market is typically 15 to 25 years old, difficult to main- tain and faced with high running costs.
The SLX is based on the same
technology as the display mask writ- ers, which includes the recently launched Evo control platform. A technology platform shared between display and semiconductor mask writers leverages synergies within current and future technology devel- opment and utilization of the exist-
ing service organization. Contact: Mycronic, Inc., 320

Indium Corp. Launches No-Clean, Halogen Free Flux
Clinton, NY — Indium Corporation has released its TACFlux® 108HF, a new, no-clean, halogen-free, high tack force flux for hand soldering and re- work applications. TACFlux 108HF is compatible with SAC Pb-free alloys for PCB assembly applications. The product joins Indium
Corp.’s offering of specialty fluxes de- signed to provide solutions for cur- rent and evolving industry chal-
TACFlux 108HF flux for hand soldering and rework.
Best performance in every production environment with the CondensoX series!
CondensoX is perfect for handling large or high-mass boards in a stable process atmosphere. In order to improve control of the vaporphase, Rehm has developed a patented injection principle that allows the sol- dering procedure to be individually regulated. Our CondensoX series can temperatures of up to 260°C.
