 The complexity of semiconductor tool designs and processes combined with economic reality has created an environment where businesses need to identify and focus on their core competency while partnering with companies that have complementary skills. Watlow's core competency is thermal applications expertise and delivering innovative designs for complex thermal challenges. Thermal applications expertise as a core competency is the ability to understand system thermodynamics and semiconductor process requirements. In addition to thermal expertise, Watlow has a project management expertise that has proven to accelerate projects and deliver a working model on the first iteration.
To succeed in today's semiconductor processing industry, manufacturers must deliver processing equipment with exceptional control of all process variables. With the ever increasing pressure on device geometries, the performance of the thermal subsystem is increasingly critical to process yield. This focus is driving equipment manufacturers to look beyond the heater component for innovative solutions to system level performance.
Single Iteration, Watlow's engineering services division, specializes in developing custom thermal products that enable manufacturers to achieve the near-impossible. |
