Measuring technology, quality assurance, soldering technology, photovoltaics - many areas of modern electronics manufacturing don't get by without “light”. Visit productronica – the world’s leading trade fair for innovative electronics manufacturing - from 10 to 13 November.

You will find products relevant to light, presentations or lectures at the productronica Forum (organized by ZVEI) and Innovation Forum (organized by VDMA) or at the exhibitors’ Hands-on Sessions.

Trade fair highlights:

Carl Zeiss (Hall B3.146) - New Chip Fabrication Technology on the Verge of Volume Production
EUV lithography produces further miniaturization in integrated circuits. And in turn to microchips with performance rates still undreamt of today. Extremely short 13.5 nanometer light wave lengths are used here. The roughness of the mirror’s surface for the projection lens may not exceed that of a hydrogen atom in this respect.
