CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
In the whitepaper “The Outlook for the Semiconductor Industry,” we discussed the need to lower the COO of the tools of production for those who are both designing and building their chips. The issue that we attempt to address here is how does one make that happen and at the same time improve functionality permitting the customer to do things that perhaps his competitor is not even aware of as a problem.
Below are the common concerns of fab managers and how S-Cubed’s unique product architecture has addressed these issues.
Reducing the high cost of the Bill of Materials (BOM) of the tool.
Minimize tool Footprint
Maximize Reliability.
Note that everything S-Cubed engineering teams have done to reduce BOM cost, also has the effect of improving tool reliability.
Minimize consumption of materials cost.
This includes things like photo resist, solvents, gases, etc…
Increase Tool Throughput
