USI Announces USA Based Micro-Optics Wafer Scale
Business Unit
SAN JOSE – August 25, 2008 -
Universal Semiconductor, Inc., (USI), today announced it’s expansion of
the
Micro-Optics Wafer Scale
Services offering Turn Key design, prototyping and wafer fab
production
services. USI is no stranger to
the emerging high growth Micro-Optics Wafer Scale technology. For some
three years, coupled with the
addition of pioneering experts in the field of Micro Optics, we have
gained
considerable experience and
perfected Micro-Optic processes for our OEM customers said Vic. Hejmadi,
CEO
and President of USI.
USI is unique in it’s
knowledge, experience, and design and modeling capabilities in the field
of binary and
multilevel diffractive
optics, hybrid refractive/diffractive and microrefractive optics. USI
uses highly effective
custom-built CAD/CAM/CAE
software to design, model and generate the mask layouts for
micro-optical
elements.
USI's lithographic fabrication
of the multilevel process achieves high field overlay accuracy, as well
as resist
reflow or gray scale masking in
conjunction with dry proportional etching which enables USI to provide
its
customers the full spectrum of
state of the art micro-optics fabrication processes. By their very
nature,
Micro-Optical elements have a
typical footprint of only a few square millimeters and are usually less
than 1
mm thick, making them ideal for
applications in which space is at a premium. In addition, millions of
components per month can be
manufactured with high reliability and precision. So, it is easy to see
why
cost-effective Micro-Optic
components are now fulfilling their promise by replacing conventional
optics in
common products like mobile
phones, light-emitting-diode (LED) lighting, and flat-panel displays.
The use
of diffractive, hybrid
diffractive/refractive and micro-refractive elements allow the designer
a high degree of
freedom to optimize a much more
cost effective and low power consumption component for a given
application said Fred Garcia,
VP Marketing and Sales.
“USI now addresses the
high-growth market of Micro-Optic by expanding our Turnkey Foundry and
Design
Services, complementing our ASIC, MEMS, and Photodiode Sensor products and services thus resulting
in
lower costs, greater
performance and power benefits to the customer from a USA based
company,” said Vic
Hejmadi, CEO and
President of USI.
