Semprius

Micro-transfer Printing

Careers

The core of Semprius technology is micro-transfer printing. This patented process enables the parallel transfer of many pre-formed circuit elements from a source semiconductor wafer to almost any other substrate.

The Process

  • Devices and circuits elements are created using standard semiconductor processes
  • The circuit elements are defined and released from the source wafer using etch chemistry - no dicing needed
  • A compliant transfer stamp removes only the desired elements from the source wafer
  • The elements are printed onto a destination substrate
  • The stamp returns to the source, increments one die over and repeats the process

Benefits

  • Massively parallel printing - up to 1000s of elements printed simultaneously
  • High yield - greater than 99% printing yield for most semiconductors
  • Low cost - low capital cost, high throughput
  • High performance - printed elements maintain performance of host semiconductor
  • Separates device formation and target substrate - no temperature limitations
  • Wide range of semiconductors - Si, α-Si, GaAs, GaN, InP, diamond
