Cicor site in Ulm, Germany

The Cicor site in Ulm specializes in the manufacture of thin film circuits on rigid and flexible substrates, the development of new processes, the evaluation of new materials for thin film technology and has extensive development expertise in this field. Manufacturing is performed in a clean room environment using microelectronic manufacturing processes such as lithography, sputtering, etching, electroplating and machining. Production and processes are designed for maximum flexibility to meet specific requirements for substrate materials and process combinations. The site manufactures thin film circuit substrates on a wide variety of substrate materials (Al₂O₃, AlN, LCP, polyimide, ferrite, glass, sapphire, quartz, etc.) in prototype and volume production.

Femtosecond laser in thin-film production

With the increasing demands on thin-film circuits, the quality requirements for the mechanical processing of ceramic and flexible substrate materials have also increased. For these complex applications, Cicor in Ulm uses a modern femtosecond laser from GFH as a high-precision tool for the micro-processing of flexible and ceramic substrate materials. The main advantage of the machine is that only one laser machine and one laser source has to be used in order to master all different laser applications in perfect quality and with an economic lead time. Cicor's laser work in Ulm includes drilling, cutting and removal of substrates prior to metallization as well as work on already metallized and lithographically structured substrates.
