Singulus Receives Two Orders for MRAM Applications

Singulus Technologies AG reports two new orders from Asia and the US, respectively for semiconductor vacuum coating machines.

Both orders are intended for equipment in connection with MRAM applications. The two orders confirm Singulus in its expectation of a continuing favorable business trend in the work area of nano deposition.

In the past couple of years Singulus has already delivered several machines for MRAM, thin-film write/read heads as well as other semi-conductor applications.

Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, CEO, Singulus, remarks: “In the past business year we already successfully commissioned several of these machines. These two new orders confirm our strong position in this segment as well as the continuity of our expansion of the semiconductor activities.”

Singulus develops technologies for production processes, which only make use of resources conservatively. New production technology combined with sustainable processes and the use of novel materials can decouple the use of resources from economic growth in the long-term. Singulus’ power and competitiveness are strengthened by these new technologic developments.

With its optical disc segment Singulus is the market leader for CD, DVD and Blu-ray disc production equipment. Singulus already provides the machine technology for three-layer Blu-ray discs with a storage volume of about 100GB.

In the semiconductor segment it focuses its activities on the vacuum coating of wafers with ultra-thin layers for the production of MRAM memory, thin-film write/read heads and other semiconductor applications.

Singulus continues to expand its know-how in vacuum coating, the automation and process technology as well as the integration of manufacturing lines in order to develop new work areas. To strengthen the existing business activities Singulus is currently reviewing concrete acquisition opportunities.

New application areas for vacuum deposition technology are the focus of the further development.
