Xiton Photonics Wins 2025 Innovation Award
Xiton Photonics is proud to announce that it has won the 2025 Innovation Award of Rhineland-Palatinate!
The winning innovation: the IXDICE Ultra 1342, a ground-breaking laser system designed specifically for advanced silicon-processing applications such as stealth dicing.
Why is this a game changer?
The IXDICE Ultra 1342 operates at a unique fundamental wavelength of 1342 nm, making it ideal for working with silicon, which becomes transparent beyond 1100 nm. This enables internal laser modification without damaging the surface — revolutionizing how semiconductors are separated.
Compared to traditional dicing methods using diamond saw blades, advantages of stealth dicing with the IXDICE Ultra 1342 include:
- More precision
- Better cleanliness (no toxic dust or material loss)
- Greater sustainability
Key specs of the IXDICE Ultra 1342:
- Average output power: >18 W (the highest on the market at 1342 nm)
- Pulse duration: 40–50 ns
- Pulse repetition rate: 30–200 kHz
- Pulse-to-pulse stability: <1%
Built on Xiton Photonics’s long-standing commitment to modular and scalable laser platforms, the IXDICE Ultra 1342 is optimized for 24/7 industrial use. In fact, this laser has already attracted attention from leaders in semiconductor and display manufacturing.
