JST Wins New Order for 300mm Ospray Multi-Chamber Single-Wafer Wet Processing System
08 Julio 2024 - 8:00AM
JST Manufacturing, Inc. (JST), a leading provider of wet benches
and chemical processing systems for semiconductor manufacturing,
today announced that a global leader in the intelligent power and
sensing technology markets selected JST’s 300mm multi-chamber
Ospray Single Wafer Processing System for critical front-end
cleaning applications. The system will ship in the second half of
this year.
The single-wafer processing market continues to expand, with
growth coming from the silicon and compound semiconductor markets.
Industry research firm Mordor Intelligence estimates that the wafer
cleaning equipment market size is US$9.10 billion in 2024, and is
expected to reach US$13.57 billion by 2029, growing at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.33% during the forecast period
(2024-2029).1 Ospray single-wafer systems are well suited to
support this growth, as they are designed to process complex
substrates that require high-precision, high-uniformity surface
preparation.
“The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence, internet of
things, 5G and other emerging technologies is increasing the need
for advanced cleaning technologies to support manufacturing of
smaller and more complex semiconductor devices,” said Ryan Zrno,
CEO of JST. “This order showcases our ability to address
wide-ranging customer requirements with our highly flexible Ospray
platform. In qualification, the Ospray met our customer’s process
requirements for substrate surface cleaning, etching and surface
preparation, ensuring that wafers are free of organic contaminants,
which is critical for subsequent processing steps.”
The Ospray is an extremely flexible system that delivers
superior uniformity and repeatability, which ranges from <1% to
3% depending on the process. The customer will use Ospray for
front-end cleaning processes, and the configuration shipping
includes a solvent process module for resist stripping.
“JST is seeing growth in single-wafer processing across both the
silicon and compound semiconductor markets. Key target applications
for Ospray include MEMS and sensors, optoelectronics, lasers, LEDs
and photodiodes,” said Brian Thomas, director of sales for JST.
“The system propels advanced surface cleaning like never before and
allows for superior process capabilities and
cost-effectiveness.”
JST’s portfolio of Ospray technology and 24/7 services supports
initiatives of U.S.-based companies geared toward domestic growth
and onshoring in the U.S. semiconductor industry. To learn
