    Honglei Optics Secures Volume Orders for TGV Glass Substrate Direct-Write Lithography Equipment

    Honglei Optics has delivered volume orders of its direct-write lithography equipment for TGV glass substrates. Glass substrates show transmission loss of about 0.3dB/mm at 10GHz and dielectric loss more than 50% lower than organic substrates, making them suitable for CPO optical modules, Micro LED, and Chiplet packaging. The industry generally regards 2026 as a critical validation period for glass substrates, with initial commercial adoption expected around 2028.

    Chip Demand Keeps Growing; ASML Studies Further Expanding Lithography Equipment Capacity

    ASML said its existing 2027 and 2028 supply plans cannot fully meet customer demand and that it is studying a further expansion of 2028 capacity beyond the previously planned 30% increase. Quarterly sales through September 27 were EUR 11.7 billion, up more than 50% year over year. The NXE:3800F EUV lithography system slated for introduction next year will raise productivity from 230 to 260 wafers per hour.

    Why we recommend it: Capacity expansion and productivity upgrades are proceeding in parallel, offering concrete industry clues on how AI demand translates into EUV lithography equipment supply constraints.

    How Focuslight Laser Solutions Solve Mini and Micro LED Process Challenges

    Focuslight addresses Mini and Micro LED process challenges through laser mass transfer, mass welding and chip repair, with key factors being spot control, energy uniformity and closed-loop temperature control. The Flux H system for mass welding uses a 4000-10000W, 976nm light source, with spot length and width adjustable in segments from 2 mm to 200 mm and energy uniformity above 97%. The Flux H system for chip repair uses a 30-150W, 976nm light source, with a 365um×105um spot and energy uniformity above 90%.

    Why we recommend it: Mapping mass transfer, welding and repair to spot and thermal management requirements provides a concrete method for working backward from display manufacturing bottlenecks to laser system design parameters.
