ITEC - XG-Alpha: Exploring Cost-Effective, High-Quality Laser Assembly of MicroLEDs
MicroLED/AR/VR Connect September 2025

Information
High-yield and cost-effective microLED assembly processes still face major challenges to solve for successful market adoption by the display and lighting markets. We believe that achieving five-nine (or even six-nine) yield is within reach—enabled by 100% in-line quality control and in-cycle process selectivity for both placement and binning. ITEC has been working together with TNO-Holst to bring two key processes to market: LIFT2.0 for dispensing of interconnect materials and FAST-CT for laser component transfer.
We developed the XG-Alpha, a lab tool that enables fast turn-around in sample making for MicroLED applications. It is a flexible platform combining laser-based micro-droplet dispensing and laser-based die transfer. The tool offers a flexibility in input materials, inline metrology for placement position-alignment, dynamic transfer gap control, and automatic setting of the laser spot dimensions. For quality inspection and process windowing, it is equipped with 100% automatic optical inspection of donor and receiver substrates, and single shot repair functionality.
This presentation discusses the features of this tool, how it aligns to the process development roadmap of TNO. Furthermore it is the beginning of ITEC’s journey toward building the XG-platform as an industrial enabler for next-generation MicroLED manufacturing. We invite industry partners to explore the XG-alpha tool for their specific applications and join us in shaping the future of MicroLED production.
