BASF and Fraunhofer IPMS-CNT have joined forces to develop innovative solutions for the semiconductor industry. BASF has installed a modern tool for electrochemical metal deposition at the Fraunhofer IPMS Center for Nanoelectronic Technologies (CNT) in Dresden.
BASF and Fraunhofer are using the same tool and technology used by customers, enabling customers to significantly reduce qualification effort. This saves customers development time, reduces their costs and allows them to work more efficiently. When the pilot tests at the CNT are completed, customers will have direct access to ready-to-use processes for the production of advanced electronic materials.
“It allows our global customers to evaluate our innovative solutions for advanced microchip technologies under production conditions,” said Dr. Lothar Laupichler, SVP, Electronic Materials at BASF. “In our global R&D network, which now includes IPMS-CNT, we will be collaborating with customers to develop products for the semiconductor industry that surpass current standards.”
“The further development of materials and processes together with BASF is an important step toward achieving the ever-growing requirements that microchips have to fulfill in terms of functionality, speed and energy efficiency,” Dr. Romy Liske, business unit manager at the Fraunhofer Center for Nanoelectronic Technologies, added.
