Business Wire
Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials (NYSE:ROH), a leader and
innovator in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) technology for
the global semiconductor industry, today announced that it has
received a volume order for its IC 1000� line of CMP pads from a
leading memory manufacturer, that will be produced entirely at the
Rohm and Haas CMP Technologies Asia Pacific Manufacturing and
Technical Center (Hsinchu Site). The memory manufacturer will use
the IC 1000 pads in its advanced process technologies at several
Asian sites.
The order represents an important milestone for the Rohm and
Haas facility in Hsinchu, which became fully certified and
operational in its �front end� polymerization process in December
2008. Rohm and Haas�s IC1000 and IC1000 AT pads and VISIONPADS�
have been sampling from the Hsinchu facility since then, and are in
the qualification stage with numerous manufacturers in the
region.
The Hsinchu Site was completed in phases to meet increasing
demand for 200 mm and 300 mm CMP pad requirements in Asia. The
first phase consisted of pad finishing operations which became
fully functional in March of 2007. The facility has received ISO
9001 and 14001 certification and is the only company within the
semiconductor industry in Taiwan to earn the Green Building Award
from the Taiwanese government, recognizing it for daily energy
saving, CO2 emission and waste reduction, and water resource
conservation. The Hsinchu facility has since been qualified by
major logic and memory semiconductor customers in the region.
�This order highlights the value that Rohm and Haas�s new
facility brings to its customers in the Asia Pacific region,�
stated Sam Shoemaker, vice president and business unit director for
Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials CMP Technologies. �We have
always offered industry leading products and service, but our new
regional ability to take customers through process development and
enhancement, qualification and complete pad production from
polymerization to finishing takes us to an entirely new level that
is unmatched in the industry. We have significantly improved
response and turnaround times for our Asian customers, and the
Hsinchu facility has the capacity to supply all of Asia's pad
demands.�
The pad finishing operations have been fully functional for two
years and Rohm and Haas has multiple existing customers for this
capability. The facility also maintains a local inventory of
finished pads to support customers in the region and the plant has
an assured supply chain, with contingency back-up supplies
available from Delaware (USA), and Mie, Japan.
The Hsinchu Manufacturing Plant�s operations are identically
matched to the company�s processes of record at its Newark,
Delaware (USA) facility. Product properties are validated against
the Delaware plant�s standards, and both facilities employ the same
quality systems.
The Hsinchu Manufacturing and Technical Center was created to
support the growing Asia region and includes pad manufacturing as
well as an applications lab, and delivers local technical service
and sales support. It provides faster response and quick turnaround
for customers in Asia to ensure the highest level of customer
satisfaction. The facility will support sales and customer service
centers in China, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
