Rudolph Receives Chinese Order for OLED Displays

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Software developer Rudolph Technologies Inc. has received an order for a JetStep G lithography system from a second customer in China for pilot line manufacturing of next-generation active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays.

“The AMOLED panel market is currently experiencing rapid growth, and in fact, UBI Research expects it to grow by close to 40 percent on an annual basis until 2020,” said Elvino da Silveira, vice president of marketing at Rudolph Technologies. “We are seeing more and more companies enter this market by developing their own intellectual property, especially in China.”

Due to performance and form factor, the use of AMOLED displays in smartphones and wearables is growing rapidly. The JetStep G lithography system addresses the AMOLED displays’ requirement for higher performance transistors by delivering finer resolution and tighter overlay. Additionally, the proprietary real-time magnification compensation and autofocus capabilities enable flexible substrate lithography.

“Customers continue to invest in Rudolph’s unique lithography solution for their R&D and pilot lines because it enables them to prove-out new processes more easily and at lower cost,” da Silveira said. “The JetStep system is especially beneficial in pilot line environments where there is a high level of product change-over and pressure to minimize cost. A JetStep mask set, for example, is a fraction of the cost of a mask set for scanner-based photolithography tools, making it an ideal choice for new product development.”

Rudolph Technologies is a developer of defect inspection, lithography, process control metrology and process control software used by semiconductor and advanced packaging device manufacturers.

Glossary
lithography
Lithography is a key process used in microfabrication and semiconductor manufacturing to create intricate patterns on the surface of substrates, typically silicon wafers. It involves the transfer of a desired pattern onto a photosensitive material called a resist, which is coated onto the substrate. The resist is then selectively exposed to light or other radiation using a mask or reticle that contains the pattern of interest. The lithography process can be broadly categorized into several...
