Opening up to a wider range of manufacturing perspectives.
The semiconductor industry is the physical engine of growing digital applications: AI, Cloud, 5G, quantum, microLED, space.
But the industry is mostly held back by a manufacturing challenge: assembling ever more complex and miniaturized components.
Hummink has been collaborating with world-renowned industrial R&D partners to adress these challenges with concrete applications.
CNES is the French National Center of Space Studies. It guides innovations for the aerospace and defense industries.
We have been collaborating on micro-electronics applications (sensors, interconnects, etc.)
Itodys Lab from Université Paris Cité is a printed electronics specialist with deep industrial connections.
Collaborating on printed electronic topics (graphene transistors, bio-sensors, nano-catalysts), and acquirers of the 1st Nazca machine in 2022.
The future is driven by nano-electronic objects, designed with growing complexity
and continual miniaturization. But the thing is: no one can assemble them.
Illustrative scenarios that spotlight the practical application and
transformative potential of our technology.
Motivation
High aspect ratio microbumps with diameters less than 5 µm are required to reach high density pixels and to reduce pixel-to-pixel coupling noise. Those dimensions are not available using conventional technologies.
HPCAP Benefit
High density and aspect ratio microbumps are manufactured in one step, with a perfect control of bumps dimension and shape.
Inks: metals, polymers
Motivation
As a highly customizable additive manufacturing method, printing enables a high degree of freedom in testing ideas and concepts for new devices by varying design parameters. Waveguides have proved difficult to create with inkjet printing methods, because of their limited precision and satellite drops.
HPCAP Benefit
Hummink technology is able to print the most complex patterns with high precision at sub-micron scale.
Inks: polymers
Motivation
Watchmaking industry is actively looking to print ultra-thin polymers, able to survive to very aggressive chemical and mechanical environments.
HPCAP Benefit
Hummink technology delivers high precision printing for a wide range of inks, including high viscosity (up to 100,000 cP) and polymer-based chemistries.
Inks: polymers, color inks
Manufacture, repair, functionalize or decorate the micro-objects of tomorrow
HPCaP supports a wide range of industries, including semiconductors, display repair, sensors, photonics, biotechnology, luxury goods, advanced packaging, and printed electronics. Its ability to print any material on virtually any substrate opens opportunities across numerous high-tech applications.
