Elfys expands production capacity
ElFys, a Finnish company specialising in black silicon photodiode technology, has achieved a significant milestone by delivering the first customer samples of its black silicon-based photodetectors from a mass production foundry.
ElFys is already producing photodetectors at commercial scale for various market segments at its facility in Finland, but the external foundry enables ElFys to address very high-volume business segments such as consumer wearables. This achievement underscores the continuous and significant expansion of ElFys' production capability, further demon-strating the scalability and commercial viability of its black silicon photodetector technology. The external partner, engaged for mass production, will play a crucial role in bringing ElFys' cutting-edge photodetectors to a broader market.
Mass production of ElFys’ black silicon photodetectors in the new facility is expected to start in early 2025. The company has already secured several orders from major customers in various industries and expects to see a high demand for its products in the global market.
ElFys CEO, Dr. Mikko Juntunen, said: "We are very proud to announce this milestone achievement, which demonstrates our commitment to innovation and excellence. The production ramp up of ElFys’ black silicon photodetectors is the result of years of hard work and dedication by our talented team of engineers and scientists. We believe that our products will revo-lutionise the field of photonics and enable new applications and solutions for our customers."
