Evonik Industries and SCREEN Finetech Solutions Co., Ltd., presented first results of their strategic partnership and gave an outlook for the future.
iXsenic is a solution-processable metal oxide semiconductor that is applied under ambient conditions. No vacuum environment is needed, which results in process simplifications, high yield and cost advantages. iXsenic is best applied via slot-die coating.
SCREEN Finetech Solutions Co., Ltd. provides a wide range of equipment and services for the FPD industry including high-quality coating machines like slot-die/slit coater.
In October last year Evonik and SCREEN FT announced their strategic partnership to jointly promote the iXsenic technology. In the near future both companies will be able to offer a mass manufacturing solution to the customers with iXsenic semiconductor material from Evonik’s Resource Efficiency segment, equipment from SCREEN FT and a process perfectly matched to the customers’ needs.
Duringa presentation at Display Week, both companies gave a progress update. “We can only reaffirm that with SCREEN FT we have found the perfect partner,” says Prof. Ralf Anselmann, VP at Evonik. “And I am happy to say that we are on schedule as the joint coating process design is mass-production-ready now.”
“In order to offer a complete solution for TFT backplane mass production we need to work on the whole process design,” commented Hirofumi Yoshino, GM of Thin Film Coating Applications Business Department, SCREEN FT. “We plan to finalize the optimization for all the processes which realize the highest performance of iXsenic until the end of this year.”
