Mykrolis Showcases Intercept HP Cartridge Filter at SEMICON West.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SEMICON SEMICON Semiconductors Equipment and Material International Conference West 2003 Booth #726 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 14, 2003 New High-Flow Filter Offers Dramatic Improvements in Particle Retention for Critical Process Chemistries in Semiconductor Manufacturing Mykrolis Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : MYK MYK Monada Ypovrixion Kastrofon (Greek: Underwater Destruction Unit; Greek Navy's special warfare group) ), a leading supplier of components and subsystems to the semiconductor industry, will be showcasing its Intercept(R) HP cartridge filter at the SEMICON West trade show (Booth #726) in San Francisco from July 14-16, 2003. Mykrolis's Intercept filter provides OEMs and end users with a superior level of particle removal for critical process chemistries used in semiconductor manufacturing. The Intercept HP cartridge filter consists of a patented hydrophilic hydrophilic /hy·dro·phil·ic/ (-fil´ik) readily absorbing moisture; hygroscopic; having strongly polar groups that readily interact with water. hy·dro·phil·ic adj. membrane that improves particle retention without compromising flow rates or triggering pressure drops. The membrane is made of high flow UPE UPE Upsilon Pi Epsilon (International Computer Science Honor Society) UPE Universal Primary Education UPE Unreimbursed Partnership Expenses UPE Universal Plasticx Exchange UPE User Plane Entity (3GPP) (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) to reduce the potential for microbubbles and to improve bath quality. At a rating of 0.03 micron, Intercept is ideal for dilute hydrofluoric acid hydrofluoric acid /hy·dro·flu·o·ric ac·id/ (-floor´ik) a gaseous haloid acid, HF, extremely poisonous and corrosive. hydrofluoric acid, n a compound consisting of hydrogen and flourine. (DHF DHF dihydrofolate or dihydrofolic acid. ) processes, although it can also be used for several other wet-process applications. Intercept is available in the following retention ratings: 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 micron. According to David Stockbower, product manager at Mykrolis Corp., "The Intercept HP cartridge filter offers unique particle-removal mechanisms, which dramatically lower the number of wafer defects. In addition, Intercept doesn't require any pre-wetting or flushing prior to installation, minimizing filter changeout time and increasing equipment uptime."
