Bosch produces over a hundred and thirty million sensors each year and is also the inventor of the deep silicon etch To create a design in a material by digging out the material. The circuit designs on printed circuit boards and chips are etched by acid. See chip and printed circuit board.  technology commonly known as "the Bosch process."

"The Bosch name is synonymous in the industry with deep silicon etch technology. We couldn't be more proud to be chosen as a key etch equipment supplier for their future technology development and production needs," said Kevin Crofton, Vice President and General Manager, PVD/CVD/Etch Business Unit of Aviza Technology, Inc. "These orders represent further validation of our Omega fxP etch system in the MEMS market. These customers expect the highest degree of technology embedded on manufacturing worthy platforms, and the series of recent wins Aviza has recently announced have reflected that success."

About Omega fxP

Omega fxP is a cluster system designed for high volume production that offers up to six process modules, combined with wafer alignment, cool-down and two vacuum cassette stations. The system provides high throughput for the high volume user or the option to "mix and match" different plasma sources so that advanced sequential etching processes can be addressed. Key applications for Omega include highly controlled Si trench etch plus metal and oxide etch for power devices, deep silicon etch and bulk silicon removal for MEMS and Wafer Level Packaging.
