Smart devices and much smaller wearables - that's the mission Kyocera Tikitin is dedicated to. Along the way, they are developing and fabricating MEMS resonators made of silicon, deviating from the traditional use of quartz.

To expand their research capabilities, they added a scia Mill 200, an advanced ion beam milling system, at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, one of Europe’s leading research institutions.

Wuhan Yanxi is a pioneer in the fields of design, R&D and production of RF components and other micro-electrical components. Back in 2019, we received an order from this leading Chinese high-tech company to supply an ion beam trimming system. In 2022, the cooperation has continued, as Wuhan Yanxi ordered another scia Trim 200.

In the new "Christian Doppler Laboratory" at TU Wien, research is focused on the fundamental issues of piezoelectric materials and devices to enable future applications. We are proud to support the new laboratory with a scia Coat 200 as an industrial partner. This ion beam sputtering system will be used to produce extremely precise, smooth, and uniform coatings on substrates, including advanced materials such as aluminum nitride and scandium aluminum nitride.

A new scia Trim 200 system was commissioned by recently founded Yantai Qixin Semiconductor Technology Institute Co., a company jointly invested by the Chinese high-tech company Raytron Technology Co. and Yantai local government. The Raytron Research Institute, where the scia Trim 200 will be located, will be built as an open platform, meaning local universities and enterprises can also use this infrastructure and the equipment. The system will be used for surface error corrections on substrates up to 200 mm.

Supporting social and charitable projects is an important aspect of our corporate philosophy. As a globally active company, we know how important it is to maintain local ties and support the region where we work. That way we can help make Chemnitz and the surrounding area an attractive home for families, students and professionals. We are therefore proud to support small and large associations with a total of 5,000 euros.

Our scia Multi 500 magnetron sputtering system is designed specifically for multilayer coating deposition on optics at (sub-) nanometer precision. The substrate is precisely positioned in a linear inline coating setup with load locks at both ends to achieve gradient layers and superior uniformity.

Founded in 2022, the Chinese company TJ Innovative Semiconductor Substrate Technology Co., Ltd. (ISST) has entered the market as a supplier of heterogeneous integration technologies for the semiconductor industry. For its new expansion plans and its new production lines ISST has now purchased a scia Trim 200. With this system, the surface of the substrate material can be processed ultra-precisely by ion beam trimming, so that layer thickness uniformities down to the atomic level of 0.1 nm can be achieved. ..

In March 2022, Runxin MEMS Technologies Co., Ltd. was established in the Microelectronics Science Park as a new industrial base for MEMS production in the Nanchang High tech Zone. The company now expands its capacities by purchasing a scia Trim 200. With this ion beam trimming system especially the production of BAW and SAW filters will be more efficient. By layer thickness trimming, the yield of functional components can be increased up to 90%...

scia Systems is happy to announce the purchase of our ion beam etching system scia Mill 200 by another top C9 university of China: the Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It was founded in Shanghai in 1896 and has a long history in engineering and managerial sciences. With around 40,000 students the university offers opportunities in nine major disciplines: economics, law, literature, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, management and arts.

scia System will support the university in its goal of becoming a "comprehensive, innovative and international" world-class university by supplying an ion beam etching tool with highest flexibility.

With more than 47,000 students, the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen is the second largest university for technical courses in Germany. Their research laboratory will demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale fabrication of 2D layers. These consist of individual atomic layers of intrinsically stable crystals and can be stacked on top of each other - despite their different characteristics - and built up into complex (hetero) layer structures. The equipment required for this  will be set up in the Central Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology and will now be completed by a scia Coat 200.
