Mycronic AB has received an order for an SLX mask writer from an existing customer in Asia. The order value is in the range of $6 to $8 million. Delivery of the system is planned for the first quarter of 2026.
The SLX laser mask writer meets rising demand for photomasks for the semiconductor industry and a future need for replacement and modernization. Photomasks manufactured by laser mask writers are of high importance and account for a majority of all photomasks produced for semiconductor manufacturing. SLX is a modern and energy efficient mask writer based on the same technology as Mycronic’s mask writers for displays.
“With more than 60 received orders since the launch in October 2019, SLX continues gaining market presence. The modern SLX platform’s performance, productivity and reliability have paved the way for its success in the market”, says Charlott Samuelsson, Sr VP Pattern Generators at Mycronic.
Mycronic’s Pattern Generators division provides mask writers and metrology systems for display manufacturing and production of semiconductors.
