Slurry Partnership
Praxair has supplied polishing slurries for the hard-disk data storage and ophthalmic lens markets since 1985, with a manufacturing capacity of 8000 metric tons per year in Indiana. In addition to polishing slurries, Praxair produces polishing belts for the CMP market and operates a Class 10 CMP polishing lab to develop, test and customise slurries and polishing media for the semiconductor market.
Bayer was one of the first companies to develop and produce colloidal silica and it has been supplying colloidal silica under the brand name Levasil for more than 40 years. The annual production capacity of its Leverkusen facility in Germany achieves a five-figure metric ton output.
Bayer/HC Starck has developed a range of products for CMP that covers almost all polishing and planarisation steps in semiconductor manufacturing. In 1998, Bayer invested in a dedicated plant for production of CMP slurries with an annual capacity of 5000 metric tons.
AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!
AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!
Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.
2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.
We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.
We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.
Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.
Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.
So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
