The Fourth Industrial Revolution is having a massive impact on IC
manufacturing. New technologies are requiring an enormous number of
chips and a greater emphasis on the performance and reliability of those
chips. “This new standard calls on solutions that will enable the future
of technology and we are seeing this through the increase in demand for
our leading wafer handling products,” said Bertrand Loy, president and
CEO, Entegris. “To meet this surge, we have expanded our Kulim
manufacturing capacity and capabilities, adding new tooling, molding
machines, and numerous updates to the assembly area to create a superior
and unparalleled manufacturing facility.”
“This expanded state-of-the-art clean manufacturing facility enables
Entegris to support wafer and reticle handling demand on a global basis
for leading nodes now and into the future,” said Bill Shaner, senior
vice president of Advanced Materials Handling Division, Entegris. “This
expansion clearly aligns with the evolving needs of the industry
addressing both the high demand for our award-winning FOUPs and also the
emergent need for Entegris’s ASML-qualified EUV reticle pods, which are
