Täby, Sweden – 4 October, 2013 - Micronic Mydata AB (publ), listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, Small Cap: MICR, disclosed today that a previously announced order for an LDI 5s tool has been cancelled by the customer. The production tool had been expected to ship during the first quarter of 2014.
“This order was cancelled due to factors related to the customer’s decreased need for development capacity”, commented Lena Olving, President and CEO at Micronic Mydata AB. “We have been assured by the customer that the direction of the Micronic Mydata LDI is unchanged, and there is no change to the customer’s commitment to our LDI technology. We are continuing to work together with industry leaders to refine Micronic Mydata LDI technology. The two tools in the field are invaluable in advancing the manufacturing capabilities of the LDI 5s product”.
Micronic Mydata’s production solution, the LDI 5s series laser direct imaging tool, is capable of manufacturing the most advanced chip ackaging substrates used in the production and assembly of leading edge semiconductor chips, enabling development of future electronics products. “The implementation of higher requirements for substrates is going slower than the electronics industry previously predicted. But we are still confident of the interest in our technology from the industry, which is in need of a cost-effective production solution for manufacturing advanced substrates,” Lena Olving concluded.
