IRLYNX Installs CERADROP’s CeraPrinter F-Serie

IRLYNX, a developer and manufacturer of low cost human activity sensing modules for smart buildings, particularly office and retail, has added a CeraPrinter F-Serie from CERADROP.
 
“The printed electronics field is growing fast, showing the demand for emerging functional devices, which make our life more secure and smart,” said Nicolas Bernardin, deputy managing director at CERADROP. “The potential of this development is in the core of our business model by providing advanced CeraPrinter equipment for the actors. The system supplies the players with the solution starting from advanced R&D up to industrial applications. Due to this commitment, we are very much pleased to be highlighted by such an innovative company as IRLYNX based in France.
 
“IRLYNX is a manufacturer of high added value human activity sensing modules, permitting to collect the important data through the complex sensing device,” Bernardin added. “We are very much pleased that CeraPrinter F-Serie is in use for production in the semiconductor industry. IRLYNX’s choice of our cutting-edge platform strengthens not only the technical performances, but also CERADROP strong process development support, which goes with the system. Such an offer emerged from our customer utmost requirements as well as our desire to provide a global solution in the target to reach industrialization.”
 
“IRLYNX, a fast start-up in industrial growth, made the strategic choice to get equipped with the last generation of machine inkjet printer models series F to produce its technology above CMOS IC,” noted Dr. L. Fritsch, technology manager at IRLYNX. “In addition to the equipment quality, CERADROP has demonstrated its ability to address the issues of the start-up in pre-industrialization phase, by proposing a strong flexibility and a constant adaptation.
 
“The close co-operation with CERADROP’s technical teams in the process development, adapted to the pace of a start-up with the same requirements as in industry, allowed IRLYNX to be immediately operational in the use of the machine already settled for two months on the CERTEM platform in Tours, France,” added Fritsch.
 
“This kind of technology allows IRLYNX to progress with full autonomy, optimize its time and working performances,” Fritsch continued. “IRLYNX technical teams notice that the cycle time of R&D is almost reduced by a factor of 10 in comparison to a classic semiconductor flow. The machine is compatible both in capacity and in investment cost to produce in small and medium scale volume. This choice of a new innovative industrial pathway will allow IRLYNX to reduce its time to market and provide greater responsiveness to customers. Thanks to CERADROP, in a very tight schedule we could validate our functional materials turn out by the machine which showed themselves in perfect adequacy with our most aggressive specifications.”
