ER Engineering Introduces Innovative Technologies at SEMICON Taiwan 2026

ER Engineering Corp., a leader in semiconductor laser and plasma processing equipment, recently unveiled its groundbreaking technologies at the SEMICON Taiwan 2026 exhibition. Held in Taipei, this year's event showcased the company’s commitment to pioneering advancements in the field of high-precision laser drilling and hybrid plasma solutions, particularly tailored for Chip-on-Photonic Integrated Circuits (CPO) and advanced packaging applications.

High-Precision Laser Drilling Solutions

One of the highlights from ER Engineering was its state-of-the-art, five-axis laser drilling equipment, capable of achieving a remarkable precision of ±0.5 μm. This innovation addresses the surging demand for high-density optical components required for high-speed optical communications and integrated optical systems. ER's laser drilling solution plays a pivotal role in supporting 2D Finite Element Analysis Units (FAUs), which cater to bandwidths of 3.2 Tbps, 6.4 Tbps, and even 12.8 Tbps. This precision, combined with advanced laser control and micro-machining techniques, allows for intricate hole geometries and various machining angles.

Advanced Glass Processing Techniques

As the semiconductor industry evolves with the integration of AI and high-performance computing, the demand for high-density interconnections has surged, propelling glass substrates into a critical position. ER Engineering presents laser processing solutions designed specifically for glass substrates and Through Glass Via (TGV) applications, addressing pivotal requirements for precision and process stability. Their offerings include surface cleaning and residue removal processes, which eliminate impurities from temporary bonding materials. Additionally, ER Engineering provides precision cutting of large format glass panels, enhancing its offerings in specialized packaging applications.

Comprehensive Plasma and Laser Technologies

At the forefront of ER Engineering’s innovations are the PHB-600A and R-300R systems. The PHB-600A is designed for high-precision laser machining of large glass substrates, meeting stringent performance demands for packaging and conditioning. Meanwhile, the R-300R showcases an advanced microwave-radio frequency hybrid plasma system, allowing for flexible process adaptations depending on the material. This system excels in low-damage surface activation, cleaning, surface etching, and deep silicon etching, crucial for semiconductor fabrication and advanced encapsulation techniques.

Commitment to Integrated Solutions

ER Engineering emphasizes a holistic approach through its platform, which integrates laser precision, plasma technology, and process integration. This ensures they provide their clients with high-precision equipment and cohesive solutions tailored for semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging, optical communications, glass processing, and precision micro-machining. This commitment supports clients from research and development phases through to large-scale industrial application.
