Applied’s META Center is a unique facility aimed at speeding customer prototyping of new chip materials, process technologies and devices. It is located on the NY Center for Research, Economic Advancement, Technology, Engineering and Sciences (NY CREATES) campus in Albany, New York.
Under the agreement, SCREEN SPE will install an SU-3200 single-wafer cleaning system at the META Center. The SU-3200 will complement Applied’s state-of-the-art process systems currently running in the META Center and enable the companies to configure optimal cleaning technology for pre- and post-cleaning processes.
SCREEN SPE’s president Masato Goto expressed his excitement for the project. “It is very advantageous for SCREEN SPE to collaborate with Applied Materials at the META Center to optimize cleaning technology for the most advanced processes, including film formation, etching and ion implantation. Having access to such a cutting-edge facility as the META Center will help SCREEN SPE provide higher value semiconductor processes for our customers.”
Vice President for Advanced Product Technology Development within the New Markets and Alliances Group at Applied Materials, Ellie Yieh said, “The addition of SCREEN SPE’s wafer cleaning system strengthens the capabilities of the META Center and gives us more resources to help the industry accelerate development of new technologies from lab to fab. We look forward to collaborating with SCREEN SPE and others at the META Center to optimize processes for advanced chip designs.”
