Wide rang of technologies and integrated production are available.
Because of integrated production, we are able to pay attention to every aspect and maintain QCD: Quality, Cost and Delivery.
In addition to that, we propose the best solutions to meet a variety of customer needs.
Integrated production is available.
We can suggest a variety of solutions
at the prototyping stage.
We make an effort to broaden the supported technologies,
and are able to develop new products together with customers.
We meet a variety of customer requirements from the development
and the prototyping to mass production for each product.
Our unique processing technology is combined with film forming technology built up through thin-film magnetic head (HDD / FDD) and optical pickup parts production, thin-film patterning technology and precise processing technology.
We can form thin-film electrodes, thin-film resistors, and solder films into highly precise fine circuit patterns matched to the material of the substrate, including ceramics.We will continue to develop our manufacturing ability and technologies which are the backbone behind the LD and LED industries.
Please look forward to CITIZEN FINEDEVICE’s Thin-film technology in the future.

Device technology
Film forming, patterning
Film forming
From optical thin-film products to thin film metallization, various film forming technologies are utilized to form films that meet the requirements for glass, crystal, ceramic, silicon and other substrates.
| Film type | Film forming method | Base material | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal film | Au、Ag、Al、Cr、Ti、Ni、Sn、Pt、Cu、Pd、Ge、Si、Ag alloy, and other binary alloys may be produced. | Sputtering, Deposition | AlN Al2O3 SiC Si Quartz Crystals Resins Various ceramics |
| Oxide film・Nitride film・ Fluoride film |
SiO2、TiO2、Al2O3、Ta2O5、Nb2O5、Y2O3、ZrO2、TiOx、SiNx、TiNx、AlNx、MgF2 | Deposition | |
|
Electrode film & conductor film |
Ti/Pt/Au、Ti/Ni/Au、Cr/Au、Cr/Ag | Sputtering, Deposition | |
| Solder films | AuSn, AgSn, Sn | Deposition | |
| Optical filter |
Antireflective coating (AR), Reflector, UV/ IR cut filter, Dichroic, Polarization beam splitter, ND filter, Super multilayer dielectric mirror and other various filters |
Deposition |
Crystal, various glass, Si |
| High reflecting coating | Al mirror, Au mirror, Ag mirror | Deposition |
AlN various glasses, various resins, various ceramics |
| Decorative film | Various metal oxide + nitride | Deposition | |
| Organic film |
Water / oil repellent coat |
Deposition | |
| Resistance film | TaNx | Sputtering |
Patterning
High-precision patterning of various thin films can be achieved by using photolithography with chromium masks.
The lift-off method or etching method is used depending on the thin film material and the product application.
In addition, either wet or dry etching can be selected.
Grinding (wrapping, polishing)
We realize high precision grinding process by applying single or dual face grinding technology to ceramic materials. AIN grinding can handle up to 4inch length, 150μm thickness and Ra0.05μm roughness.

Thin-film Submount Case Study
Company name: Confidential / Industry: Telecommunications
Problem for Submount
Due to the lack of experience and knowledge of Submount, the customer could not negotiate with the Submount manufacture on an equal footing. Most of the specifications were decided at the manufacture’s suggestion, which caused problems later. At that time, our company was working on the sales promotions for our Submount, and we showed the benefits of our technology along with material procurement suggestions to the customer through their website. The customer decided to see us.
Sales (Hearing) ～the product or solution
We discussed and explained the technological details according to the each problem or need of the customer and proposed what we could do at the moment. As far as future problems and the new developments, after making a schedule, we provided trial products and ran a test to check the results. From the test result, we edited a specification sheet and had a meeting to give customer an opportunity to understand the project, then we completed the specification sheet.
Creating samples, delivery, evaluation, and pricing
Based on the specification sheet, we made and delivered evaluation prototypes to the customer. Subsequently, we made improvements based upon the areas which required improvement and re-submitted an improved evaluation product. The estimated price which was submitted at the same time was lower than the competitors, and the customer determined that our company had a large advantage over the competition. As such, we passed the evaluation phase and moved on to mass production.
Pricing
Our price was lower than the competition.
Delivery
Delivered on time to the date which was set by the customer.
Customer feedback
During mass production stage, even though some problems were encountered, we solved these issues with open communication with the customer. The customer was very appreciative for our quick response, flexibility, and frequent visits to the customer site to find out their problems.
CITIZEN FINEDIVECE can handle the Submount production with a variety of specifications flexibly. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
