Chad Industries Announces OEM Agreement with DEK International.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Chad Industries Inc., a supplier of automated wafer (1) A small, thin continuous-loop magnetic tape cartridge that has been used from time to time for data storage and specialized applications. (2) The base unit of chip making. It is a slice taken from a salami-like silicon crystal ingot up to 12" (300mm) in diameter. handling equipment, today announced a multi-year OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and agreement with mass imaging leader DEK DEK - Data Encryption Key International. Under the terms of the agreement, Chad Industries will supply automated wafer handling equipment for DEK's advanced semiconductor imaging platforms and processes including DirEKt Ball Placement[TM], wafer bumping, DirEKt Coat[TM] backside BACKSIDE, estates. In England this term was formerly used in conveyances and even in pleadings, and is still, adhered to with reference to ancient descriptions in deeds, in continuing the transfer of the same. property. wafer coating and encapsulation (1) In object technology, the creation of self-contained modules that contain both the data and the processing. See object-oriented programming. (2) The transmission of one network protocol within another. . Chad Industries' WaferMate[TM] series of wafer handling equipment is a key component of DEK's fully automated semiconductor packaging solutions. DEK continues to push the boundaries of high volume semiconductor applications and Chad has worked in parallel to develop unique handling options for non-traditional wafers wafers compressed roughage in flat plates useful for feeding to animals in transit. including ultra-thin, warped, grooved groove n. 1.
