Versum Materials, Inc., a materials supplier to the semiconductor industry, has announced that it has broken ground on a multimillion-dollar project at its chemical manufacturing site in its hometown, Pennsylvania.
The ceremony took place on the 20th April 2017 and was attended by members of the community and local government.
The new facility will house a state-of-the-art R&D laboratory for new materials used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Scientists in the facility expect to synthesise and purify new molecules up to parts per trillion impurity levels using the latest technologies available in the industry.
The researchers will be able to assess the applications for these new molecules and scale up the molecules to kilogram quantities for customer evaluation. These new organometallic compounds will be deposited on semiconductor wafers through various cutting edge technologies for semiconductor applications. Additionally, the new facility will have capabilities for small-volume manufacturing and advance analytical and quality assessment.
