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.

03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
