FIBRotools™ helps IRIS win the Robocup Competition
This July in Atlanta, GA, Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (IRIS) from ETH, Zurich, Switzerland, won the competition in Nanogram Robotic Soccer division. IRIS introduced for the first time electroplated MEMS parts in their microrobots.
Another example of FIBRotools™ efficiency. IRIS is making the most of its IKoClassic by educating generations of engineers in precise and efficient MEMS electroplating. ECSI FIBRotools™ benchtop electroplater is currently used worldwide by many academic and R&D institutions.

FIBRotools™ electroplater for MEMS/NANO and HDIs
ECSI, the manufacturer of IKo Classic - electroplating and electroforming equipment for MEMS/NANO structures and HDIs - continues to expand its domestic and worldwide sales in the first half of 2007. New customers include the University of Central Florida, Orlando, the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC and MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, MA. Internationally, ECSI delivered IKoClassic to the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, India.
Purchasers cited three main reasons for their selection of ECSI equipment: the operator can even with limited electroplating skills reliably achieve reproducible, quality results on a wide range of substrate sizes from small wafer sections up to 8" wafers; equipment delivers an exceptional performance/price ratio; and, ECSI offers a superior technical support.

More FIBRotools™ installations for MEMS and HDIs
ECSI, the manufacturer of IKo Classic – electroplating and electroforming equipment for MEMS and HDIs – is experiencing a banner season. IKo’s sales penetrated markets in ITALY (Politecnico di Torino, Torino), BELGIUM (UCL, Louvain-la-Neuve), FINLAND (Coherent, Tampere) and KOREA (Korea Institute of industrial Technology, Incheon). Purchasers cited two main reasons for their selection of ECSI equipment: the unique design of IKoClassic that enables even an operator with limited electroplating skills to reliably achieve reproducible, quality results; the exceptional performance/price ratio that makes IKo Classic ideal for R&D and academic institutions.

New FIBRotools™ electroplater for MEMS and HDIs
Twice the speed means twice the production. ECSI now offers a new version of its popular IKo bench-top electroplater. This spring it introduced IKo-2W6, a bench-top electroplater that allows simultaneous processing of multiple 2” to 8” wafers. IKo-2W6 is capable of electroplating and electroforming 2 wafers in the same plating solution, with identical or entirely different operating parameters, if needed. It promises to be an exceptional tool for fast R&D and/or small scale production. The first sale of IKo-2W6 went to a major supplier of specialty chemicals for electronics and MEMS manufacturers.
