M3D® (Maskless Mesoscale Materials Deposition )

M3D Deposition
M3D is an additive manufacturing solution that reduces the overall size of electronic systems by producing ultra-thin, fine feature microelectronics circuitry and components. M3D systems have the unique ability to deposit a wide range of electronic, structural and biological materials onto almost any substrate. The proprietary process utilizes aerodynamic focusing to precisely deliver nano-material formulations that as required can be subsequently treated with a highly focused laser. The resulting functional circuits can have line widths and pattern features down to 10 microns with layer thicknesses to 50 nanometers. Beyond fulfilling a critical dimensional need, the process offers many other significant advantages, including:
  • Direct-Write process driven by E-CAD input eliminates the cost and time associated with Masksets.
  • Low-temperature deposition and localised heat treatment supports flexible substrates.
  • Broad material support, including Conductive, Insulating and Adhesive electronics formulations.
  • Biomaterials deposition capability enables broad support of biomedical applications.
  • Non-contact processing supports conformal deposition on 3-dimensional, non-planar surfaces.
  • Additive process reduces material costs and environmental impact.

Through these capabilities, M3D facilitates the development and production of unique microelectronic and biotech components and devices, such as high-density interconnects, embedded passives, micro-components, biosensors, antennae, RFID tags, flexible circuits and displays, as well as enabling the repair of production defects and legacy electronics.

mbedded Passives & Components.
M3D® produces high tolerance embedded passives in a single step on both rigid and flex substrates without the need for laser trimming. It can also “embed” other components, such as sensors, filters, and antenna; and can even be used to fill the vias between layers.

Semiconductor Packaging. M3D® enables advanced HDI applications such as chip-scale and flip-chip packaging, and direct die attachs.

Biocompatible Electronics. The health care industry makes extensive use of microelectronics spanning diagnostics, pharmacology, surgery and prosthetics.. The electronics can be the active element or they may merely serve as the connection to a device. Hearing aids and Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) products such as pacemakers and defibrillators are common examples that demonstrate the demand for smaller, less invasive devices. M3D’s ability to reduce the overall size of an electronic system, combined with its support of biocompatible electronic materials, achieves this goal.

Drug Discovery. M3D is applicable to the production of the micro-arrays used in the search for new drugs based on combinatorial chemistry, especially as the industry is moving towards “bio-chips” that contain not only target wells, but also the electronic logic for conducting ultra high throughput screening.

Diagnostics. Biosensors are analytical devices that incorporate biological materials as the functional element, which when exposed to a certain stimulus triggers an electronic signal. M3D has proven adept at the deposition of ultra-thin biomaterial and insulating layers for multilayer biosensor devices.
