Chief Executive’s Review

XMEMS™: Rakon's Core Technology for Future Products

==> picture [12 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Rakon has developed its proprietary photolithography process for over a decade releasing XMEMS™ during FY2020 XMEMS™ is Rakon's advanced quartzbased resonator technology with products already released and in the pipeline

The technology is made with Rakon’s NanoQuartz™ photolithographic microfabrication process on quartz wafers
