HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND – Stevenage Circuits has ordered Orbotech’s Paragon 8800i Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) system.
 
The 8w laser system is an addition to the company’s DP100 SL solid state laser system and will replace a gas laser system purchased in 1999. Because of the improved capability to 25 um line and space, Stevenage will be able to use standard plating resist, instead of LDI resists.
 
“With much of our high technology product requiring two or three sequential plate and bond cycles, we recognize the need to have the most accurately placed image at each stage,” said Dougal Stewart, general manager.
 
By replacing the high energy consuming gas laser, the Paragon 8800i will provide higher resolution and higher throughput while reducing the company’s carbon footprint.
