Sample Prototypes
We utilize multiple lab-scale process lines to do custom synthesis and
purification of new materials for our customers. Pilot-scale facility for
synthesis and purification for many potential CVD precursors is under
development. We have designed this capability to provide customers with new
materials for their next-generation applications and to create a smooth
transition from samples to high-volume manufacturing.
Packaging to Semiconductor Standards
We have advanced facilities for packaging our products to ensure that they
arrive at your location with the same purity standards with which they were
created.
CVD Precursor Technology
As your partner in technology development, we offer synthesis, purification
and testing of silicon-based precursor materials for use in next-generation
low-ĸ, high-ĸ, gap fill and low-temperature CVD applications.
