Entegris Bolsters Lab Capabilities With Advanced Wafer Testing Machine.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CHASKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2003 Extending its leadership in technical support for customers through laboratory resources, Entegris, Inc., (Nasdaq:ENTG) the materials integrity management company, today announced its additional advanced critical materials testing Articles on Materials testing include:
Entegris' surface wafer analyzer (the SWA adv. 1. So. 256M by GL Sciences) employs state-of-the-art thermal desorption Thermal desorption is an environmental remediation technology that utilizes heat to increase the volatility of contaminants such that they can be removed (separated) from the solid matrix (typically soil, sludge or filter cake). technology that provides complete extraction of organic compounds from the surface of 300 mm (and below) silicon wafers for subsequent analysis via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS GC/MS Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer GC/MS Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometry GC/MS Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrograph ). The two techniques combined allow individual organic compounds to be detected below a billionth of a gram per square centimeter of a silicon wafer's surface. These surface characterization techniques are used by Entegris to identify organic contamination issues which otherwise may not be apparent to Entegris' customers until many costly steps later in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The new surface wafer analyzer is part of the company's Materials Technology Laboratory (MTL MTL In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Maltese Lira. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. ) located in Chaska, Minn., where Entegris has developed its expertise in polymer materials characterization and applications. In addition to the laboratory, this expertise is due to the company's presence in nearly every semiconductor fab See fab. in the world - allowing Entegris to become a leader in the selection and development of chemically pure materials for use in contamination sensitive industries. "Our MTL enables us to better understand the industry's materials requirements, which is a key competitive advantage for Entegris," said Patrick McKinney, president of the Entegris semiconductor market sector. "As the leader in protecting and transporting wafers, Entegris must understand and communicate information on wafer level effects to our customers. Our surface wafer analyzer, which is one of the few in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.
