Pilot Line
The pilot line includes cleanroom equipment designed to develop reliable micro-transfer printing and essential post-printing processes such as metallization and passivation. While the micro-transfer printer supports printing on 300 mm wafers, the post-processing equipment is designed for wafers up to 200 mm in size. Additionally, the facility is equipped with tools to test transfer-printed wafers and perform reliability assessments, including burn-in testing.
