As part of the expected results of the io600 projecr, we aim to achieve 50% to 100% higher resolution compared to screen printers, jetters and needle dispensers; 35 times faster than dispensing systems; Higher packaging density (10% die-density improvement) and 40% lower CAPEX; Less clean room space (80% lower area); does not employ hazardous chemicals and saves 1 m3 of water per m2 in PCB manufacturing. IO600 customers are semiconductor packaging companies.
In addition, the following Impacts:
• Environmental:
IoTech’s Additive Manufacturing processes lead to drastic reduction and in some cases, elimination of emissions
and pollution. With subtractive processes, machining and cutting operations can generate dust, chips, acids and
other waste materials that may require additional treatments and disposal measures. In contrast, ioTech AM
processes emit no pollutants. Our process avoid the use of approximately 1.5 litre of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone per 300 mm wafer3.
• Removing electro plating process: ioTech avoids the impurities due to bath pollution, therefore not requiring
the addition of nickel interlayer: 196 mm3 of nickel saved.
• Economic:
Our systems offer higher productivity and throughput compared to traditional manufacturing methods. By
optimizing production processes and leveraging AM's design flexibility and automation capabilities, companies
can achieve higher output with fewer machines.
In addition, our systems enable the creation of smaller, more efficient cleanrooms and production facilities. This
optimization minimizes energy consumption, space requirements, and environmental impact, contributing to
the sustainable development of industry infrastructure. This makes our system contribute to industry innovation
and infrastructure (SDG 9).
It is also relevant the decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) due to the job creation in Europe through
reshoring chip manufacturing. io600´s clean and less labour-intensive AM technology fosters the reshoring of
key processes back to the EU. As a result, more jobs will be available for the already existing high-level trained European workers.
• Societal:
Consumers and companies are looking for sleeker, more powerful and smaller devices for consumer electronics, automotive sector, and others. ioTech meets these demands. The miniaturization of the design
achieved with ioTech technology contributes to the development of innovative technologies and enables
advancements in sectors such as health, mobility, communications, and electronics with a huge impact on our
well-being.
