The Fraunhofer Institut for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) organized an international workshop about photonic packaging in collaboration with the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC), the OpTecBB and the PhotonicNet. It was a Forum for experts who focus on effective manufacturing strategies in Europe and automated assembly technologies for optoelectronic and photonic integration on the board, package and device levels. InBeCon GmbH presented together with the company ArgoTech a.s. about „Volume production of single mode micro-optical components with wafer-level assembly“. This production line applies wafer-level technologies from semiconductor production to the volume assembly of opto-electronic components with accuracy of about 1µm.

SENSOR+TEST is the leading forum for sensors, measuring and testing technologies worldwide. The trade fair with about 575 exhibitors from 28 nations imposingly presents the entire spectrum of measuring and testing system expertise from sensors to computers. New components are discussed, as well as the latest assembly and manufacturing technologies for new designs. InBeCon GmbH presented together with other partners of the network „Schützen und Veredeln von Oberflächen“. High precision micro-optical components were presented as examples of the various development activities of InBeCon GmbH. Several new contacts were established at the well-attended fair.
