MKS’ Atotech to Participate at ISES Taiwan 2022
October 11, 2022 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Atotech, a brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS Instruments, developing leading process and manufacturing technologies for next-generation power semiconductors and advanced packaging, joins the International Semiconductor Executive Summit (ISES Taiwan) in Hsinchu, Taiwan from October 11-12.
On Wednesday, October 12 from 9:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. CST, Dr. Christian Ohde, Global Director Semiconductor and Functional Electronics for MKS’ Atotech brand, will give the keynote and present on how technology pushes limits. His topic this year is “Plating solutions for next-generation power semiconductors and advanced packaging of highest reliability”.
During his talk, Dr. Ohde will elaborate on how the increasing functionality resulting from advanced node and packaging technologies as well as reliability requirements of power semiconductors go hand in hand with new requirements for the metallization processes. Furthermore, Dr. Ohde will explain the importance of fundamental R&D, which is the foundation to be equipped to provide next-generation chemistry and equipment solutions and meet the upcoming requirements of the semiconductor industry. He will discuss specific interconnect challenges, including higher stress sensitivity of smaller structures, the integration of heterogeneous structures, and new interconnect technologies to comply with higher interconnect density. He will also explain the path chosen for Atotech solutions when it comes to reliable copper, tailorable pillars, and low-temperature copper-to-copper direct bonding for smallest bonding solutions.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.
