Fully Tested and Qualified Wafer-Level Lenses Use Reflow Compatible Materials to
Streamline Production and Assembly of Camera Modules
SALA AL JADIDA, Morocco--(Business Wire)--
Nemotek Technologie, a manufacturer of customized Wafer-Level Cameras for
portable applications, today announced its Wafer-Level Optics (WLO) solutions
are fully qualified and now available to customers. Producing thousands of
lenses simultaneously on a single wafer, Nemotek Technologie streamlines the
manufacturing process delivering a more cost effective and miniaturized wafer
level based on reflow compatible materials. 

The reflow compatible materials are used to build the optical elements of the
camera module, which are efficiently mounted directly to a board for camera
phone or other mobile device assembly. Since this is the same solder reflow
process used for assembling other electronics, customers save time by using the
same procedure throughout the production cycle. Nemotek Technologie enables
customers to save costs with less components and manual processes ensuring
higher quality at affordable prices. A fixed focus optics feature also
eliminates the high costs of manual focus adjustments present in other non-wafer
offerings. 

To provide high performing quality products, Nemotek Technologie successfully
completed a series of internal tests and qualifications for its wafer-level
lenses. Several of the stress tests included a reflow test to verify all the
materials used to build the lenses are reflow compatible. Other qualifications
included industry-level high temperature and solar radiation tests. All the
completed tests were in compliance with the Standard Mobile Imaging Architecture
(SMIA). 

"With the completion of several stringent tests for our wafer-level lenses, we
believe our products are now of the highest quality at less cost while featuring
a superior manufacturing process than other offerings," said Jacky Perdrigeat,
CEO of Nemotek Technologie. "The market is ready for wafer-level technology and
we are pleased to be one of the first to manufacture these high-demand wafer
offerings." 

Nemotek Technologie`s 10,000 m2 facility which includes a certified Class 10
clean room is the first in Africa located in the Rabat Technopolis Park, a hub
for technology development in Morocco. In this facility will be produced high
quality, low defect wafer-level solutions.
