This partnership is intended to put in place the equipment capacity needed to meet this potential market growth and expansion. The partnership unites Elsoft’s strength in automated test equipment with MetaOptics’ metalens design and process expertise. “Our 4-inch platforms let our customers prototype and iterate fast, and our 12-inch platforms, born from customer demand, are built for mass production,” said Thng Chong Kim, Executive Chairman of MetaOptics. “By pairing our metalens expertise with Elsoft’s precision manufacturing, we believe this partnership will deliver far more than either of us could achieve alone.” The partnership aims to shorten development cycles, improve production yields and shorten the path from prototyping to commercial-scale mass production, the media release said.
