SABIC Innovative Plastics’ New Ultra-Pure Stat-Loy* Compounds Provide Huge “Clean” Plastics Solution to Semicon Industry
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – May 29, 2008 – As consumers demand more power and functionality from electronics, the semiconductor industry strives to fit more functionality onto existing integrated circuits, or “chips.” The next-generation of chip manufacture is a photolithography process using argon-fluoride (ArF) laser technology. However, adoption of ArF lasers was delayed by the lack of sufficiently “clean” plastics used in protective containers (photomasks and reticles) for the IC manufacturing process. To address this challenge and respond to customer needs, SABIC Innovative Plastics’ LNP* Specialty Compounds business has developed Ultra-Pure Transparent (UPT) Stat-Loy* 63000CT series compounds. Used in wafer protection devices, UPT Stat-Loy compounds can prevent damage from outgassing that can contaminate wafers, increase rejects, and raise costs.
