EV Group has announced the purchase of its advanced IQ Aligner for
UV-based nanoimprint lithography applications from Heptagon
Micro-Optics Pte. Ltd., Singapore. The company will use the IQ Aligner
for high-volume UV-NIL patterning of microlenses for CMOS image sensors
and has been in production since May 2008 specifically for Heptagon's
200mm glass wafer micro-lens production.
“We're excited for the opportunity to work closely with Heptagon to quickly and cost-effectively enable its next-generation processes,” said Paul Kettner, EV Group's Asia-Pacific Sales Director. "Not only were we able to install the tool and process transfer in record time, we are extremely pleased to see the IQ Aligner meeting such challenging technical requirements in a high-volume manufacturing environment.”
