About us
The goals of the company are targeted on achieving a technologic market leadership in relevant markets and to thus sustainably increase the business volumes and to generate stable, profitable results.
Optical Disc segment: unique market position
With the BLULINE II for the manufacturing of Blu-ray Discs with a storage capacity of 50 GB SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES continues to have a unique global position and continues to focus on maintaining the global leadership in this segment.
Semiconductor segment: focus on the expansion of the machine platform
In the Semiconductor segment we continue to work on the expansion of our product range on the basis of our technologically leading concept for the coating of wafers with thinnest possible magnetic layers. With this extension the testing of new applications is targeted.
Positioning in new markets/set-up of new work areas
The core competence of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES is the know-how in vacuum thin-film and plasma technology, wet-chemical processing as well as thermal process technology. SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES works on expanding this expertise in the existing segments and to transfer it to new markets. SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES operates as a driver of innovation in technologic areas with high growth potential. This includes renewable energies, the entire area of entertainment, ever increasing mobility, semiconductor technologies as well as consumer goods of any kind.
Thin-film deposition:SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES has delivered far more than 8,000 vacuum coating machines since its foundation in 1995. New coatings for the use in battery technology or cleaning and coating processes for the improvement of surfaces in display technology are worked on. In ultra-high vacuum coating machines, extremely thin layer of around 0.2 nm for the application in the semiconductor industry are applied, amongst others.
Plasma engineering (processing, structuring and finishing of surfaces):In the past business year SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES worked on production solutions for the finishing of plastic surfaces. Under the product name DECOLINE II a production line was introduced to the market. In an ideal way it combines lacquering units, product handling and vacuum plasma coating.
Thermal processing:selenization and sulfurization processes are important manufacturing steps for the production of thin-film solar modules according to the CIGS principle. Thermal processes are also used in the semiconductor industry in the course of pre- and post-processing of wafer coatings.
Wet chemical:SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES owns patented know-how, for examples for cleaning, etching and coating processes in crystalline and thin-film solar technology. These production processes are also applied in semiconductor technologies. Wet-chemical processes are also tested and employed for the cleaning and processing of special glasses for smart phones and tablets.
