Rohm and Haas Delivers Ultra-Low Defectivity CMP Pad for Advanced Copper Barrier Processes.VisionPad[TM] Product Line Adopts Application Specific Approach PHOENIX & HSINCHU, Taiwan -- Rohm and Haas Rohm and Haas Company (NYSE: ROH), a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based company, manufactures miscellaneous materials. A Fortune 500 Company, Rohm and Haas employs more than 17,000 people in 27 countries. The annual sales revenue of Rohm and Haas stands at about USD 8.2 billion. Electronic Materials, CMP Technologies CMP Technology (formerly CMP Media) is a business-to-business multimedia company that provides information and integrated marketing services to technology professionals worldwide. , a leader and innovator in chemical mechanical planarization technology for the global semiconductor industry, today formally introduced the EcoVision[TM] 4000 ultra-low defectivity performance CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine. (1) (CMP Media LLC, Manhasset, NY, www.cmp.com) Part of United Business Media, CMP is a leading integrated media company that offers a wide variety of publications and services in the information pad designed specifically for advanced copper barrier processes for 45 nm technology nodes See technology generation. and beyond. The EcoVision 4000 pad is the latest addition to Rohm and Haas' VisionPad product line, which offers highly specialized CMP solutions for advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. "As customers switch to advanced processes and nodes, we offer products designed for their specific polishing needs," explained Cathie Markham, vice president of technology for Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, CMP Technologies. "The EcoVision 4000 pad is representative of this shift towards application specific pads. Throughout our entire VisionPad platform, we provide customers with the best and most cost effective solutions for their specific CMP process requirements." The EcoVision 4000 CMP pad features a unique design and chemistry allowing customers to achieve a significant reduction in cost of ownership with highly consistent performance over the product's lifetime. The lifetime of the EcoVision 4000 pad demonstrates a significant improvement over existing soft pads for copper barrier applications and is comparable to hard pads hard pad Noun (in dogs) an abnormal increase in the thickness of the foot pads: a sign of distemper such as the industry-standard IC1000[TM] pad, used for bulk copper removal CMP applications. This allows users to change the pads on all platens at the same time, minimizing the costs associated with downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. and qualification processes. The pad's innovative manufacturing process produces a surface that results in increased contact area between the pad and the wafer. This reduces defects and improves die yields by minimizing scratches and chatter marks across the wafer resulting in best-of-class defectivity performance. Unlike soft pads, the EcoVision 4000 pad is conditioned, allowing for pad surface regeneration to achieve optimal polishing results that are consistent throughout the pad's life as well as from pad to pad. The EcoVision 4000 pad is currently available for customer sampling in multiple product configurations, and will be available commercially in Q4 of this year. The product will be featured at SEMICON SEMICON Semiconductors Equipment and Material International Conference Taiwan from September 12-14 in Hall 1 Booth 1252.
