Oxford Instruments installs new plasma etch tools in Taiwan Lab
PlasmaPro 100 Cobra and PlasmaPro 100 Polaris ICP etch tools at ITRI focus on optoelectronic, wide band gap discrete device and sensors
Oxford Instruments has recently installed state of the art plasma etch equipment in its applications laboratory at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan. This further enhances the existing etch and deposition capabilities already provided by Oxford Instruments at the Institute.
The brand new PlasmaPro 100 Cobra and PlasmaPro 100 Polaris ICP etch tools were installed this month and are designed to serve its Asian customers, with a focus on the optoelectronic, wide band gap discrete device and sensors markets.
Ian Wright, VP sales and service for Asia, Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, states: "As a company we are dedicated to delivering process solutions to our customers. These new tool installations show our commitment to achieving this for our Asian customers and complement our existing plasma etch and deposition systems already established in ITRI, enabling us to deliver efficient local service to our Asian markets. Our customers have the added benefit of full support from our dedicated applications team based in Taiwan ensuring a fast response to customer enquiries."
These recent improvements to the ITRI laboratory continue the long-standing research-based collaboration agreement between the two companies, based on Oxford Instruments providing a research centre staffed by Oxford Instruments' process engineers at ITRI to the benefit of the extensive Far East customer base.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
