X-CELEPRINT

X-Celeprint is an international leader in micro-transfer printing, a technology that enables the parallel integration of very small, high-performance components onto a single substrate. Founded in 2013, the company serves clients across Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific from its European headquarters at the Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland, and its US development center in Research Triangle Park, Durham, North Carolina. X-Celeprint holds 625 patents and applications worldwide and positions itself as a turnkey provider of heterogeneous integration solutions, offering technology licensing, design support, prototyping, assembly, and printing services. Its core technology, micro-transfer printing, allows for the precise alignment of components down to 200 nm with scalability and mass transfer capabilities, achieving ±0.5 μm 3σ alignment. This is particularly valuable for silicon photonics, where multiple tiny components such as laser diodes, modulators, photo detectors, optical amplifiers, and optics are integrated onto a single substrate with waveguides on a wafer. The company's mission is to empower chip manufacturers to achieve heterogeneous integration, addressing the growing demand for data transmission driven by AI, machine learning, quantum computing, and data centers. X-Celeprint's technology enables faster, more efficient data transmission with lower latency and reduced power consumption, benefiting applications in smartphones, tablets, wearables, automotive sensors, IoT devices, and computers. The company also provides consulting expertise for MedTech device submissions to regulatory bodies like the FDA and EMA. Led by CEO Peter Smyth, a semiconductor industry veteran, X-Celeprint continues to advance photonics integration and mass transfer technologies.

X-Celeprint was founded in 2013 and has since established itself as an international leader in micro-transfer printing. The company was built around a core technology that enables the parallel integration of very small, high-performance components onto a single substrate, a process known as heterogeneous integration. This technology is particularly relevant for silicon photonics, where multiple tiny components such as laser diodes, modulators, photo detectors, optical amplifiers, and optics must be precisely aligned on a single substrate with waveguides on a wafer. X-Celeprint's micro-transfer printing allows for ultra-dense form factors, printing components down to 200 nm, and mass transfer with ±0.5 μm 3σ alignment. The company has grown to hold 625 patents and applications worldwide. It operates from a European headquarters at the Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland, and a US development center in Research Triangle Park, Durham, North Carolina. X-Celeprint serves clients in Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific, offering a turnkey experience from chip design to printing with straightforward technology licensing. Its services include design support, prototyping, assembly, and printing, as well as consulting for MedTech device submissions to the FDA and EMA. The company is led by CEO Peter Smyth, a semiconductor industry veteran with over thirty years of experience. Under his leadership, X-Celeprint continues to advance photonics integration and mass transfer technologies, addressing the growing demand for data transmission driven by AI, machine learning, quantum computing, and data centers.
