Micro-Epsilon makes multi million Euro investment

In the future, sensors developed by Micro-Epsilon for use in the semiconductor and aerospace industries will be manufactured at the company's new production centre. It will, says Micro-Epsilon, enable a significant increase in its production volumes for the semiconductor industry over the coming years. Completion of the new centre for micro-mechatronics - now under construction at the company's HQ - is planned for the Spring of 2021.

The new building  is designed to provide the optimum conditions for the strict production and quality requirements associated with both the semiconductor and aerospace industries. Products to be manufactured in this facility include sensors for current and future generations of semiconductor lithography machines, as well as  those used for various measurement tasks in aircraft.

By definition, a particular focus of the new building is its clean room and environmental capabilities. In addition to the highest requirements for cleanliness, specific humidity and temperature values must also be maintained during production and assembly. In order to keep these environmental conditions constant, a sophisticated building monitoring and control system has been specified which continually monitors and adjusts the air quality and particle levels to ensure these are maintained within precise limits.
