A Laser Direct Writing (LDW) system is a high-precision, maskless lithography technology that uses focused laser beams to directly pattern photoresist-coated substrates without the need for photomasks. It offers flexible and rapid prototyping capabilities, allowing custom designs to be written digitally with high alignment accuracy and resolution, typically ranging from a few microns down to sub-micron levels. LDW is widely used in research and development, microfluidics, photonics, MEMS fabrication, and advanced packaging applications, especially when quick design iteration, complex geometries, or low-volume production are required.
The market for Laser Direct Writing (LDW) systems is driven by the growing demand for high-precision, maskless lithography solutions in advanced electronics manufacturing. As device miniaturization, design complexity, and time-to-market pressure increase—especially in sectors like HDI PCBs, advanced IC packaging (e.g., Fan-Out, SiP), photonics, and flexible electronics—LDW offers unmatched flexibility, rapid prototyping, and cost-effective customization without the need for expensive photomasks. The rise of heterogeneous integration, chiplet architectures, and demand for high-resolution patterning on various substrates further accelerates adoption of LDW systems across both R&D and production environments.
