Machinery
We have access to some of the most advanced machines for manufacturing FPAs, including steppers and 2 automated wafer tracks for lithography, a batch sputtering and an e-gun evaporator for metallization, ICP & RIE etching, PECVD deposition and a multitude of other tools for manufacturing and metrology.
ISO-certified
We’ve crafted our ISO 9001 certified development and production processes over a long period ensuring you get high-quality, predictable and punctual delivery, high yields and efficiency. Our processes are thorough because we care about consistently delivering the future for our customers.
History
R&D into cooled infrared detectors first started back in 1986 in Sweden and IRnova was spun off from a governmental research institute in 2007. The following year, after careful consideration, we made an early investment in T2SL. It was a bold move that has paid off and transformed our business and our industry forever. We’ve invested significantly in everything we needed to make T2SL a success: state-of-the-art machinery and people with the right skills and mindset. That’s what made us what we are today—the industry leader.
After 35 years of development—including two decades in T2SL—IRnova is the undisputed leading supplier of T2SL and QWIP infrared technology in Europe. As we stand at the forefront of innovation, we’re proud of our pioneering spirit and dedication to bringing superior technology to the world. That helps us pave the way to a safer future. For all of us.
