Elektronik Tidningen - AlixLabs gör sig redo för Intel och TSMC

Alixlabs utvecklar en metod som kan göra det både billigare och snabbare att tillverka i de allra finaste processnoderna, som delar av halvledarvärlden strävar mot. Siktet är ställt på att få företag som Intel och TSMC på kundlistan. För att komma närmare målet har företaget flyttat in hos Pronano.

I november förra året flyttade Alixlabs från universitetslabbet Lund Nanolab till Pronano. – Arbetet i Lund Nanolab är inte baserat på wafers, man har små prover som är några millimeter stora. Nu vill vi gå över till en waferbaserad process anpassad för industrin, säger Jonas Sundqvist, vd på Alixlabs.

Första steget är att gå till 4-tum. För det har Alixlabs investerat i ny utrustning som just nu håller på att installeras i Pronano i den del av renrummet som företaget hyr. Det handlar om en så kallad ALE-maskin (atomic layer etching); en maskin för torretsning som företaget behöver.

The company is now pleased to announce the first granted patent in Taiwan. Taiwan is one of the most important markets for leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing and hence crucial for AlixLabs to protect its innovative APS process by IP. The Taiwanese semiconductor industry, including IC manufacturing, design, and packing, forms a significant part of Taiwan's IT industry. Due to its strong capabilities in fab wafer manufacturing and a complete industry supply chain, Taiwan has distinguished itself from its competitors and dominate the global marketplace. Taiwan is the unmatched leader of the worldwide semiconductor industry, with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) alone accounting for more than 50% of the global market. In 2020, the sector accounted for US$115 billion in output.
