In the World of Manufacturing, Safety Is Everything: Here’s How Laser Photonics Is Creating Safe Eco-Friendly Laser Systems

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In the world of manufacturing, employers and manufacturers must follow countless domestic and international regulations designed to keep workers safe. These are especially important in industries where professionals work in dangerous environments with hazardous materials. Two regulatory agencies ensure business owners work to keep their employees and the environment safe. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) which ensures safe and healthy conditions for workers, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), whose mission is protecting human health and the environment. Both of these entities have regulations specifically dealing with laser systems used for manufacturing. OSHA laser safety standard 29 CFR 1910 outlines requirements for employers to protect workers from the hazards of laser radiation. Compliance involves using proper protective equipment, limiting exposure and ensuring appropriate training and warning systems are in place. While laser systems may not directly fall under EPA regulations, their by-products, such as emissions and waste disposal, are regulated by the EPA. This includes ensuring proper disposal of chemicals and materials used in laser processes and properly managing any emissions released into the air. Laser Ablation is considered much safer than alternative coatings removal processes, however, businesses must still exercise safety precautions while using lasers as a heat source. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) do provide important information when using heat to remove paint and other substances. Using laser-rated protective eyewear and face masks is a necessity while operating Class IV lasers. Using a fume extractor also helps to remove fumes from the air during laser blasting. Operating lasers under these circumstances can help ensure a completely safe and more efficient method of coatings removal for shipyards. Historically, sandblasting has been the go-to method for industrial cleaning in industries around the world. However, sandblasting has faced increasing criticism due to the health and safety issues it poses. Sandblasting involves using high-pressure air to propel abrasive particles onto the surface of a material to remove coatings, corrosion or other contaminants. Laser cleaning achieves even better results, eliminating the waste disposal cost and problems while avoiding the risk of Silicosis sandblasting can pose. Laser cleaning is considered more cost-effective, time-efficient, easy-to-use and eco-friendly than all traditional methods, which has understandably led to laser cleaning's increased adoption in markets worldwide. Utilizing laser systems, companies have been tackling long-standing challenges with greater accuracy, enabling manufacturers to increase capabilities while streamlining processes and achieving high-quality results. These factors led Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE), a leading global industrial pioneer of laser systems, to develop its line of cutting-edge laser cleaning products. With its OSHA and EPA-approved CleanTech systems, the company provides industry professionals with a laser-blasting solution for corrosion control, coating removal, pre-weld preparation, post-weld treatment, laser cleaning, surface conditioning and more. CleanTech laser cleaning systems focus a high-powered laser onto targeted areas, removing contaminants such as rust, corrosion, residue and paint from a wide range of materials without causing any harm to the underlying surface. The global blasting market is projected to grow to $12 billion by 2025. As technology has continued to advance, laser systems have become increasingly essential in manufacturing, driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible while enhancing workplace safety. Laser Photonics continues to reinforce its position as an industry leader, with a focus on providing reliable and safe solutions and world-class laser machinery to its global customer base.

The 750,000 sq. foot facility has ramped up hiring for 24/7 operations. The company is already forecasting high demand on existing capacity and has successfully closed Series B funding to expand production rapidly. Silicon Box was founded in 2021 by industry titans from semiconductor design and packaging. Co-founders Dr. Sehat Sutardja and Weili Dai previously founded and led Marvell Technology Group, where Dr. Sutardja was CEO and Ms. Dai was President, respectively. Co-founder and CEO, Dr. Byung Joon (BJ) Han, was formerly CEO of STATS ChipPAC (acquired by JCET in 2015) for twenty years. Dr. Sutardja and Dr. Han combined have more than 800 US patents and a long history of collaboration. Notably, Silicon Box brings effective chiplet integration capabilities, through its state-of-the-art factory in Singapore. The chiplet concept itself was introduced by Dr. Sutardja at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in 2015, where he was plenary speaker. Dr. Han is the inventor of semiconductor packaging products, currently shipping over 100 billion annually in unit volume, including quad flat no-lead (QFN). "Silicon Box is well poised to solve the semiconductor industry's challenges for fast adoption of chiplet. We are leading the pack to bring high performance, power-optimized, affordable, and scalable solutions that enable next-gen large language models (LLM), generative AI, automotive, data centers, and mobile computing globally," said Dr. BJ Han. "Our state-of-the-art factory and advanced panel level packaging are delivering a solution to scale high growth markets, such as AI accelerators, to the masses.

Silicon Box enables chiplet architecture, allowing chip designers freedom from the constraints of a single, monolithic chip for processing. By leveraging multiple smaller chips, interconnected in a single package, chip designers can create the equivalent of "system-on-a-chip" (SoC) in a package. Chiplets enable dramatically better performance, smaller device sizes, and better device reliability. Most importantly, they make it easier for foundries, chip designers, and OSATs to collaborate to build chips for the most cutting-edge applications. Additionally, Silicon Box's large production format sets a new industry standard for large scale, high yield production especially for advanced chiplet-based designs. The company's solutions are more reliable and cost effective due to the standardized packaging process for the shortest chiplet-to-chiplet interconnection, reducing the manufacturing costs for high performance devices by up to 90%, with better thermal and electrical performance. This is especially crucial for the high growth AI accelerator market. Expansion plans for the Singapore factory reflect the severe current shortage in advanced packaging solutions, and Silicon Box's commitment to enabling AI accelerator solutions and bringing them to the masses. Initial collaborations with customers have yielded groundbreaking results. "We're deeply excited to partner with Silicon Box. Their unique packaging approach has dramatically shortened our time to market, while allowing us to gain a significant lead on our competitors," assured Ravi Krishnamoorthy, Vice President and Managing Director at Zerro Power Systems, a developer of next generation controllers and drivers. Series-B Silicon Box announced a successful $200M Series B fundraising round, bringing the company to over a one-billion-dollar valuation. All three founders were investors in the round. Other strategic investors into Silicon Box include BRV Capital; Event Horizon Capital; Grandfull Convergence Fund; Hillhouse Capital; the corporate venture arm of Lam Research, Lam Capital; Maverick Capital; Prasedium Capital; Tata Electronics; TDK Ventures; and UMC Capital. "As we bump up against size and cost constraints in front-end SoC design, chiplet architectures are emerging as an innovative solution given their higher manufacturing yields and functional reuse of IP, among other benefits. Especially as industry standards align, chiplet adoption should grow rapidly," Andrew Homan, Managing Director and Technology Sector Head at Maverick Capital, explained. "Silicon Box is a key enabler of chiplet adoption, given its advanced packaging technologies that achieve industry leading interconnect density and power performance at a still cost-effective price point. We are committed to supporting BJ, Sehat, Weili and the Silicon Box team in catalyzing this important paradigm shift in chip production." TDK Ventures Investment Director Henry Huang commented, "The Silicon Box chiplet design is truly innovation at its finest. The company's recently opened 750,000 square foot facility has proven the concept is totally viable, and competitors in the industry have already taken notice. TDK Ventures is proud to be a part of their success and eagerly look forward to supporting their future endeavors." "Chiplets are the future and what Silicon Box has achieved for chiplet deployment, in a short time, already represents significant breakthroughs for the industry," said Kwan Yoon, Chief Investment Officer at BRV Capital. "Our team was impressed that Silicon Box delivered the most innovative solutions that are high performance, energy conscious, reliable and affordable while addressing such a key industry bottleneck. Silicon Box and its technologies are extremely important for the semiconductor industry, and the digital world."
