FUJIFILM Dimatix Selects ClassOne Solstice^® GoldPro™ Single-Wafer Processing System for Inkjet Printhead Plating

ClassOne Technology, a leading global provider of advanced electroplating and wet processing tools for microelectronics manufacturing, today announced it has received a repeat order from FUJIFILM Dimatix, the world’s leading provider of  drop-on-demand inkjet printheads for industrial applications, for a Solstice^® single-wafer processing system. The Solstice system will be configured with ClassOne GoldPro™ chambers, specifically designed to optimize Solstice gold plating technology.

Gold is highly inert to the vast majority of ink chemistries.  The Solstice system’s ability to create high-quality electroplated gold films enhances inkjet printheads by delivering exceptional corrosion resistance, further ensuring durability in the presence of aggressive chemical environments.  Uniformity and consistency are the hallmarks of high-performance printheads.  The Solstice system’s precision plating capabilities enable uniform gold deposition, optimizing electrical conductivity for assembly consistency and reliability, while providing superior electrical interconnects for heater elements and piezoelectric actuators in chemically challenging environments.

“Our printheads enable high-performance, high resolution printing of UV and aqueous Nano-particle inks as well as deposition of functional fluids on all types of surfaces,” said Dave Pulizzi, Vice President, Operations, for FUJIFILM Dimatix’s Santa Clara, Calif., plant. “We have seen excellent performance from our previously purchased Solstice S4 system, and we selected this new dedicated system leveraging ClassOne’s GoldPro technology to allow us to optimize these capabilities to their fullest.”

ClassOne Technology CEO Byron Exarcos stated, “Solstice has proven highly valuable for a host of applications that require precise, high-speed electroplating and a low cost of ownership. FUJIFILM Dimatix selecting an additional Solstice system to perform gold plating on its printheads further underscores the versatility and performance benefits of our Solstice platform.”
