ATMI Success Stories
See how ATMI collaborates with partners and customers to bring about the solutions that make critical improvements to fab productivity, yield, speed, and risk management.
Partnering with SemEquip to increase ion implant productivity
ATMI experts teamed up with SemEquip in a joint venture that resulted in a lower-energy, higher-dopant process that addresses the limitations of current dopant delivery technology. Now chipmakers can reduce capital spending and increase fab productivity, taking them quickly to the next node.
Improving wafer yields for a customer—and for the industry
With an eye toward technology and business needs, ATMI scientists took a new look at the efficiency in vaporizing solid and semisolid precursors. The industry-recognized result, targeted for ALD applications, sharply improves wafer yield while it reduces cost per wafer and tool downtime.
Aiding the adoption of copper by boosting chip reliability and yield
As use of copper gained ground, it was clear that new semiconductor processes and materials were needed. ATMI leaders developed a relationship with electroplating expert Enthone to bring to market a complete approach to copper electroplating that quickly emerged as the industry standard.
Reducing costly errors in tracking materials with the practical use of emerging technology
ATMI leveraged its strategic position between chemical suppliers and chipmakers to develop a fully automated materials management system that reduces costly human error, ensures the accurate use of the right materials, and collects and manages extensive materials data.
Texas Instruments: Collaborating long-term allows quick response for critical needs
ATMI scientists and technologists worked with semiconductor industry leader Texas Instruments for many years. In a recent example, ATMI developed a chemistry that met TI's stringent requirements and allowed the company to go forward with production release of a new technology node.
