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.
