About TomoSemi
TomoSemi GmbH is a sales and consulting provider specialized in semiconductor manufacturing equipment from Japan, serving photonics fabs and labs in Central Europe. The portfolio includes tools for Scribe & Break (diamond and laser scribes, breakers), bar stacking, fully automatic optical inspection, as well as testing and probing from the manufacturer OPTO SYSTEM. In addition, ECR plasma coating systems and magnetron sputtering systems for thin-film applications such as laser diode mirror coatings, oxidation tools, and photolithography and lift-off solutions from ASAP are brokered. TomoSemi provides technical consulting, local support in the European time zone including on-site service, and acts as a bridge between customers and Japanese manufacturers, including communication in Japanese, German and English. With more than twelve years of experience in the laser diode industry, the team understands the requirements of opto-electronic and power device manufacturing. Additionally, the company offers knowledge resources via a wiki on laser diodes, facets, failure mechanisms and ECR coating.
