XTPL (WSE:XTP), a developer of Ultra-Precise Dispensing (UPD) technology for nanomaterial deposition, has entered a strategic partnership with Manz Asia to support the development and commercialization of advanced semiconductor packaging applications.
Under the partnership, XTPL will install a Delta Printing System in Manz Asia's Semiconductor Innovation and R&D centre in Taoyuan, Taiwan, establishing a local capability for process development, testing, and validation. The facility will enable customers to evaluate specific applications and establish a pathway from prototype development to volume production.
The partnership combines XTPL's proprietary dispensing technology with Manz Asia's expertise in advanced semiconductor manufacturing systems and process development. The collaboration will focus on joint engagement with third-party customers and the evaluation of application-specific commercial opportunities.
XTPL's UPD technology enables highly controlled deposition of functional nanomaterials with feature sizes ranging from tens of micrometres down to below one micrometre. The technology is already qualified for high-volume production in display applications and is currently being evaluated for additional applications in advanced electronics, including inline manufacturing, multichip module packaging, and advanced electronic structures.
"I am delighted to start the partnership with Manz Asia - a company with a strong position and deep expertise in the semiconductor industry in Taiwan and Asia. It is only natural for us to work side by side with a partner who knows this ecosystem from the inside.The synergy between XTPL's unique ultra-precise dispensing technology and Manz Asia's competencies in advanced semiconductor packaging is a natural fit. That is precisely why I am confident this collaboration will translate into tangible business opportunities for both sides.," said Filip Granek, CEO of XTPL.
Robert Lin, CEO of Manz Asia, added: "This strategic partnership with XTPL expands our printing capabilities into ultra-precise material deposition, enabling a wide range of advanced semiconductor applications. The technology supports both conductive and non-conductive materials across 2D, 2.5D and 3D substrates in diverse manufacturing scenarios.By combining XTPL's dispensing technology with Manz's automation and process integration expertise, we broaden our portfolio and provide more flexible manufacturing solutions, helping customers accelerate innovation and move efficiently from prototype to volume production."
