Advancing the Dry Etching Process  

Through Supply Chain Robustness and Material Innovation 

This is the fourth webinar of our series exploring trending topics on materials and semiconductor development. 

Join us to discover how to advance your dry etching process by building a robust supply chain and driving material innovation.    

During this interactive webinar, you will learn about innovative materials solutions to advance your dry etching process and meet challenging technical requirements, with the leading industry supplier that holds more than 50 years of history with a reliable supply and safety record.   

Along with supply chain robustness in the existing etch gas product portfolio, new product development is another key focused area to meet dry etching process advancements as chips’ structure is getting more complex and design rules continue to shrink.  

Stay tuned and engage with our business and technology leaders to discover both sustainable and high-performance dry etch gas solutions exceeding industry expectations.
