Jenoptik increases capacity with new photolithography equipment

"We are investing in differentiating technologies, increasing cleanroom capacity, advanced equipment and employees. The new photolithography equipment represents Jenoptik’s most recent financial and technical commitment to advancing state-of-the-art microoptics fabrication,” says Jay Kumler, President of Jenoptik Optical Systems in North America, in a press release. With new automated production ready photolithography equipment, Jenoptik is able to increase our capacity and support not only larger wafer diameters but also tighter specifications and higher resolution for larger diffraction angles. Gregg Borek, VP Microoptics and General Manager of Huntsville, AL Operations, adds, “We are committed to continuing to meet our customers’ expectations for a stable and reliable high volume manufacturing environment.” The new photolithography equipment investment follows recent investments in cleanroom environment, new etching equipment, better wafer handling and cleaning equipment.
