Materials and Technologies, Corp. (MATECH) is proud to announce the release of the newest member
of its WaveEtch™ family of single-sided wet processors: The WaveEtch™ 112 Benchtop System.
Designed for efficiency and performance; it has all the capability of its larger siblings, packaged in a compact semi-automated platform. It fits in a standard chemical hood, thus saving space and services. The system can process, in its different configurations, wafers ranging from 25 to 300 mm, as well as pieces or odd-shaped substrates.
The WaveEtch™112 comes ready to work right out of the box. You will be ready to thin, stress relieve, pattern, or perform any other wet processes in minutes. More importantly, the 112 offers the same unsurpassed uniformity (sub-1% in most thinning and stress relief applications!), reduced chemical and water usage; as well as the lowest cost of ownership of any wet processor in the market.
All WaveEtch™ systems can process and handle wafers down to 10 µm, or even thinner in some applications. So, if thinning, stress relief, wafer cleaning, or any other single-sided wet process is in your future, please contact us for more information.
MATECH’s SSUWP™ systems, like the WaveEtch, have been used to solve difficult
problems in advanced wet processing applications. MATECH helps
customers, such as MIT and NASA, to develop processes for a variety
of different needs.
A long wait finally came to a very
successful and happy end for NASA, the country, and the many people
and organizations that were involved in the design, construction
and launch of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The gratings, which
are a primary component of Chandra's X-Ray optics, will allow
the facility to provide for years of new findings and a large
expansion of our knowledge of the universe. MATECH was proud to
participate in such great endeavor by supplying MIT's Center for
Space Research one of its single-sided universal wet processors
(SSUWP 2+) to manufacture the hundreds of delicate gratings that
act as the eyes of the observatory. MATECH congratulates NASA,
MIT's CSR, the program administrators, and all others involved
in this ambitious program. For more information, and great pictures,
