SAFC Hitech sets out its 'chemical roadmap'

摘要

Having just completed the acquisition of UK-based electronic chemicals firm Epichem (SCM, March 2007, page 6), SAFC Hitech, one of four business segments within the custom manufacturing arm of Sigma-Aldrich, has unveiled its 'chemical roadmap' for metalorgan-ic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes on silicon semiconductor substrates over the next five years, as well as a new alliance.rnThe 'roadmap' is based on International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors guidelines and covers a wide range of material development within various semiconductors. These include materials for high-k dielectrics in logic and memory devices, additional functional memory architectures, electrodes in DRAM or gate stacks, barrier layers, wiring and low-k dielectrics.
