FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Evatec Launches Advanced Packaging Sputtering and Etching Systems for Panel Level Packaging process
– “CLUSTERLINE 600E” for up to 650mm panels and “CLUSTERLINE 310E” for 300/310mm panels –
Trübbach, Switzerland – October 30, 2025
Evatec AG (Headquarters: Trübbach, Switzerland; CEO: Andreas Wälti) today announced the launch of two new cluster systems for advanced packaging applications: the CLUSTERLINE 600E, supporting panels up to 650mm, and the CLUSTERLINE 310E, optimized for 300/310mm panels. These new systems integrate sputtering and dry etching processes within a single platform, offering unmatched flexibility and productivity for advanced packaging lines.
Supporting the Evolution of Advanced Packaging
As the semiconductor industry continues to evolve toward higher integration and performance, advanced packaging technologies are rapidly advancing, utilizing not only organic substrates but also glass and silicon wafers featuring re-distribution layers (RDLs) and fine-pitch interconnects.
This trend is driving demand for enhanced process precision in seed layer deposition and via etching across multiple substrate materials. In addition, advanced process control for thermal management, warpage compensation, and optoelectronic integration is becoming increasingly critical.
A Cluster System Integrating Metal Deposition and Dry Etching
In response to these requirements, Evatec has developed a new cluster system that combines metal thin film deposition and dry etching in a single platform, specifically designed for advanced packaging applications.
These new systems deliver high productivity and exceptional process flexibility, enabling customers to address a broad range of advanced packaging technologies.
