Suss MicroTec, Corona, Calif., and BRIDG, a public-private partnership in Kissimmee, Fla., have agreed to establish a production-level Applications Center in Kissimmee to enable process and product innovations for Suss customers and BRIDG partners.
Suss MicroTec is a leading supplier of equipment and process solutions for the semiconductor industry. BRIDG is a not-for-profit, public-private partnership focused on production process technologies, advanced system integration, and 200mm microelectronics fabrication that advances next-generation nanoscale technology.
This partnership puts an unprecedented array of Suss MicroTec equipment and fabrication technologies at the doorstep of its North American customer base, readily accessible for demonstrations and evaluations. Suss equipment, onsite at BRIDG, spans a range of capabilities from advanced permanent bonding, temporary bonding, and de-bonding, to lithography and nano-imprinting. It will fill vital needs in BRIDG’s infrastructure for manufacturing and advanced R&D.
Onsite support from Suss MicroTec will combine with BRIDG’s technical experts to enable process and product innovations for Suss customers and BRIDG partners. Working within a manufacturing infrastructure enables customers to test new concepts in a real production environment, fully supported from concept to product commercialization.
BRIDG is offering product development, prototyping and early-stage manufacturing services with 200mm (8-inch) wafer fab capabilities based within a 109,000-square-foot fab that includes cleanroom laboratory/manufacturing space of approximately 60,000 square feet. BRIDG is strategically located in Central Florida, in the heart of Osceola County’s new technology district known as NeoCity, to capitalize on the collaboration between high-tech industries and universities while leveraging the strength of the Orlando region as Florida’s focal point for technology development.
