Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials’ CMP Technologies arm is to
further invest in expanding its production capacity to meet growing
demand, the company said. The new facility only became operational in
March 2007 for CMP pad finishing processes. Complete pad manufacturing,
including casting operations for its ‘VisionPad’ and its ‘IC1000’ AT
pad series, will be operational in early 2009.
“Our Hsinchu Facility offers world-class, high-volume manufacturing
capability for leading-edge pad technology, including our newest
VisionPad and IC1000 AT pads for the most advanced manufacturing
nodes,” explained Sam Shoemaker, President of Rohm and Haas Electronic
Materials, CMP Technologies. “The conversion to Hsinchu supply has been
smooth and faster than originally anticipated. Customer qualifications
of the facility are going extremely well, and we are well ahead of our
original capacity expansion schedule.”
The company now expects to employ over 200 people at the facility by the end of 2008.
