Canatu receives customer approval for its CNT100 SEMI reactor and post-processing equipment, enabling mass production of advanced EUV pellicles
Vantaa, Finland, July 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canatu Plc (CANATU, Nasdaq First North, Finland) has received Site Acceptance Test (SAT) approval for its first CNT100 SEMI reactor and for the related post-processing peripherals, shipped to a semiconductor customer in September 2024. The equipment successfully passed the extensive tests conducted on-site at the customer's premises and met the stringent technical requirements and specifications defined in the acceptance criteria. This confirms the CNT100 SEMI reactor's readiness for mass production of CNT pellicle membranes. Juha Kokkonen, CEO of Canatu, commented: 'As far as we know, this marks the world's first CNT reactor qualification for EUV pellicle manufacturing. Receiving SAT approval is a significant milestone for Canatu and for advanced semiconductor technologies. For the first time, our CNT100 SEMI reactor and its peripherals have been approved by the customer and are now ready for CNT pellicle membrane mass production. We sincerely thank everyone involved for their outstanding collaboration, which made this historical achievement possible.' The next step for the customer is to secure final approval for the ready CNT pellicle product and the complete manufacturing line, before pilot and risk mass production can begin. This phase would initiate the mass production of CNT pellicle membranes, generating non-recurring revenue from technology licensing, as well as recurring revenue from royalties on CNT pellicle sales, and from reactor consumables. Site Acceptance Test (SAT) means that the equipment is tested on-site after Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) to ensure the reactor and peripherals operate as intended in real use conditions. The SAT process included several output and product quality tests. With the SAT approval, Canatu's CNT100 SEMI reactor and peripherals are now ready for mass production. Demand for advanced semiconductors is accelerating due to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography is gaining traction, especially for sub-7 nanometer chips—the fastest-growing segment. Canatu is well-positioned to support this shift with its advanced CNT pellicle membranes, which outperform traditional composite pellicles. These membranes offer higher EUV transmission and greater thermal resistance, enabling them to withstand the extreme heat loads of 600W EUV lithography tools used to produce the most advanced chips.

Canatu partners with forerunner companies, together transforming products for better tomorrows with nano carbon. Canatu's versatile platform technology has broad potential applications. Its current core includes CNT membranes for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) processes in the semiconductor industry, enabling the manufacturing of the most advanced chips, as well as film heaters for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in the automotive industry. Additionally, electrochemical sensors for medical diagnostics are in the development phase. Canatu's patented CNT reactors and Dry DepositionTM method yield clean and pristine CNTs. The company operates through two business models: selling CNT products directly, as well as selling CNT reactors and licensing the related technology so that customers can produce CNT products under a limited license. Headquartered in Finland, Canatu also operates in the US, Japan, and Taiwan. Founded in 2004 as a spin-off from Aalto University's Nanomaterials Group, Canatu currently has around 140 employees representing 35 nationalities, with 20 percent holding or pursuing doctorates.

MetMalaysia Upgrades Four SAATNM In Penang, Faster Tsunami Warning
GEORGE TOWN, April 23 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMalaysia) has upgraded four Malaysian Tsunami Early Warning Systems (SAATNM) located at four locations near the sea in Penang. Senior Assistant Director of Penang METMalaysia Office Fadila Jasmin Fakaruddin said the upgraded SAATNM is equipped with better features including 360-degree speakers compared to only three speaker mouthpieces previously. She said the four locations are at the National Training Centre at Pasir Panjang Beach in Balik Pulau, Teluk Bahang Fisheries Development Authority Jetty, Masjid Jamek Ar Rahman in Batu Feringghi and the Tanjung Bungah Floating Mosque. "METMalaysia is upgrading the four SAATNMs because the old one under phase one, has been in use since 2006. The upgraded one has a 360-degree speaker system, a higher mast of 16 metres compared to the previous 10 metres and several other things. "Today we are testing the new tsunami siren system for the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) at the Masjid Jamek Ar-Rahman location and everything went smoothly," she said when met by Bernama after conducting the SAATNM siren test at Masjid Jamek Ar-Rahman near here today. Fadila Jasmin said her party had tested the SAATNM siren in Teluk Bahang on Monday, Balik Pulau yesterday and it will continue at the Tanjung Bungah Floating Mosque tomorrow. "We hope that by upgrading the SAATNM, we can provide faster warnings to the public in the sea area if there is any tsunami threat," she said. Meanwhile, the Safety and Health manager of Park Royal Resort Batu Ferringhi, V. Mohan, who was also present to see the testing of the SAATNM siren, is confident that the upgraded system can provide information about tsunami warnings faster, to guests of hotels located about 300 metres from the mosque. "We can alert and take action (immediately) and the new loudspeaker is also very clear and can be heard all the way to the hotel, which I have heard before, but I think this is clearer," he said.

SAATNM is able to channel earthquake information to the public within eight minutes after being detected by the sensor. It also plays a role in detecting earthquakes that occur in the region and subsequently issuing earthquake information as well as advice or warnings if it has the potential to generate tsunami waves. — Bernama
