Business Wire
The ION-X® technology platform enables IC
manufacturers to meet increasingly demanding performance
requirements
- Drives participation in profitable
growth market critical for semiconductor manufacturing process
- Leverages Versum Materials’ global
infrastructure and franchise
- Creates value for customers by enabling
new and differentiated technology
Versum Materials, Inc. (NYSE: VSM), a leading global materials
supplier to the semiconductor industry, and NuMat Technologies, a
pioneer in the design and integration of atomically-engineered
materials into gas delivery, separation and purification systems,
today announced a global, commercial agreement to offer a new line
of products for the safe storage and delivery of dopant gases such
as arsine, phosphine and boron trifluoride. The new product line is
called ION-X® and is based on revolutionary Metal Organic
Frameworks (MOFs), which can selectively adsorb, store and safely
deliver ultrahigh purity gases at sub-atmospheric pressures. ION-X®
offers performance advantages over traditional carbon-based
adsorbent technology used in the ion implant processes for the
manufacture of semiconductor devices.
Jim Minicucci, general manager for Versum's Process Materials,
Asia commented, "NuMat and Versum are combining their respective
leadership positions, with NuMat manufacturing the proprietary MOFs
and Versum harnessing its world-class global footprint to
manufacture, commercialize, and distribute the ION-X® product
globally. Building on our long-history in Specialty Gases, we plan
to design and construct a new ION-X® dopant gas fill plant at our
production site in Sihwa, South Korea."
“We are excited about working together with NuMat Technologies
to deliver ION-X® products to our global customer base. ION-X®
represents a new and differentiated growth opportunity, is
complementary to our Process Materials business, and further aligns
with our core competencies as a leading specialty gas manufacturer
and supplier,” stated Ed Shober, Senior Vice President of Materials
at Versum Materials.
“We are pleased to announce our agreement with Versum Materials
to globally commercialize ION-X®. This relationship with Versum
represents a strategic pairing of NuMat’s differentiated technology
platform with Versum’s operational, quality and commercial
leadership in the semiconductor industry. We look forward to
executing against a shared mission of delivering value and
innovation to customers,” stated Ben Hernandez, Chief Executive
Officer at NuMat Technologies.
