Ground-breaking Solutions to Complex Technology Challenges
Semiconductor
Fabricating semiconductor devices involves four broad processes: deposition, removal, patterning, and modification of electrical properties. MKS Instruments is there to help you succeed at every step. The semiconductor industry continually faces new challenges as products become smaller, more powerful and highly mobile. Ultra-thin layers, smaller critical dimensions, new materials, 3D structures, and the ongoing need for higher yield and productivity drive the need for tighter process measurement and control.
Advanced Electronics
Advanced Electronics encompasses a wide range of diverse applications, such as PCB via drilling, solar and display processing, and electronic component manufacturing. We view the Advanced Electronics market to be similar to the Semiconductor market, in that each market benefits from the same defining trends of miniaturization and complexity. We believe packaging technologies will become increasingly critical to enabling better performance, design and cost of electronic devices – from high-end smartphones, to electric vehicles, to high performance microprocessors for data centers and artificial intelligence. And Advanced PCBs and Package Substrates are the next key drivers of these trends.
Specialty Industrial
Our Specialty Industrial market represents a broad array of Industrial, Life Sciences, Research and Defense applications. These are businesses that leverage our domain expertise in Semiconductor and Advanced Electronics. Industrial Technologies encompasses a wide range of diverse applications such as glass coating, laser marking, measurement and scribing, natural gas and oil production, environmental monitoring and synthetic diamond manufacturing.
