The NASDAQ (acronym of National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) is an American Stock exchange. Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to create chips the Integrated circuits that are present in everyday Electrical and electronic The company seeks to help manufacturers increase their yields by improving contamination control in several key processes, including photolithography, wet etching & cleaning, chemical-mechanical planarization, thin-film deposition, bulk chemical processing, wafer and reticle handling and shipping, and testing, assembly and packaging. Photolithography (also called optical lithography) is a process used in Microfabrication to selectively remove parts of a thin film (or the bulk of a substrate In Microfabrication, wet etching is Chemical etching performed with a Liquid etchant as opposed to a plasma. Chemical-mechanical planarization or Chemical-mechanical Polishing, commonly abbreviated CMP, is a technique used in Semiconductor fabrication Thin-film deposition is any technique for depositing a Thin film of material onto a substrate or onto previously deposited layers
In recent years, contamination control has become increasingly more difficult as semiconductor manufacturers drive their sub-45nm technology applications. Per the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors the 45 nm technology node should refer to the average half-pitch of a memory cell manufactured at around the 2007-2008 time [1] At the same time these manufacturers are experiencing incredible pressure to increase productivity in the fab and stay cost competitive. As a result, companies are making the move to invest in technology that increases yields by minimizing product defects caused by contamination.
