ALBANY, NY – Atotech will conduct R&D in copper-plating technology as part of a $5 million program being launched in partnership with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany.
A team of Atotech researchers, led by VP of Semiconductor Technology Robert Preisser, will be located at CNSE’s NanoTech Complex as part of the program, which focuses on the development of copper deposition technologies used in device structures. R&D activities will target chemistry development, mode of operation and analytical techniques, as well as online technologies for computer chip, chemical and biological sensors, and biochips for medical applications.
Atotech will provide international support to CNSE through its operations in Berlin and Yokohama, Japan. The company will also fund two fellowships for students at CNSE.
“This program will play a critical role in Atotech’s push to develop and refine next-generation copper-plating technology to be used in the fabrication of nanoelectronics devices", said Preisser
Dr. Alain E. Kaloyeros, VP and CAO of CNSE, said, “It is a pleasure to welcome still another global corporate leader to the growing list of leading high-tech companies at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex."
The agreement between Atotech and CNSE includes the possibility of future R&D initiatives, which may involve the location of additional Atotech personnel at CNSE.
