ClassOne sells Solstice CopperMax to Chinese GaAs fab
ClassOne Technology, a US supplier of new electroplating and wet process tools to the 200mm and smaller semiconductor manufacturing industry, has announced a multi-tool sale of its flagship Solstice CopperMax electroplating system to China's premier compound semiconductor manufacturer.
As the largest such supplier in China - among the largest GaAs fabs - ClassOne's new client will use CopperMax to anchor the production of advanced power chips.
"ClassOne has emerged as the supplier of choice for the exacting requirements of the compound semiconductor industry," says ClassOne CEO Byron Exarcos. "ClassOne has presence in each of the leading compound semiconductor fabs around the world, now including a global leader in the development and manufacture of semiconductors based on GaAs substrates. This sale further confirms ClassOne's leadership status in electroplating technology worldwide."
ClassOne expects multiple similar sales in the coming months, as semiconductor manufacturing facilities throughout Asia expand their processing capabilities for advanced applications such as 3D Sensing, Autonomous Vehicles, and 4G/5G Communications.
