Praxair Electronics is working with CAMP to develop advanced
sensor technology to detect the end of useful life of physical
vapor deposition sputtering targets used in advance integrated
circuit manufacturing. The End of Life detection systems will
greatly increase the utilization of the very high purity sputtering
targets thereby increasing the important cost of ownership
of the sputtering target and the overall IC manufacturing.
CAMP is providing the computational analysis and hardware
design for the program. The actual testing of the sensors
will take place in Praxair Electronics' Application Laboratory
which is equipped with the state of the art physical vapor
deposition tools."
Keith Blakely, C.E.O. of NanoDynamics (a Corporate Member
of CAMP) said, "NanoDynamics has established commercial production
of nanosized and micron sized metal powders utilizing a novel
chemical precipitation process developed at CAMP under Professor
Dan Goia. The program was timely, cost-effective, and successful
in establishing a new material for the microelectronics industry
that should outperform existing products and lead to significant
growth in our organization and for the customers who adopt
and use this material in their products. We intend to create
a satellite development and pilot production laboratory in
Potsdam in order to shorten the time and distance between
problem or opportunity identification and the application
and implementation of Clarkson expertise."
John Prendergast, Business Manager at Ferro Electronic Material
Systems ( a CAMP Corporate Sponsor) describes a productive
and long lasting relationship between Ferro Corporation and
Clarkson's CAMP. "Ferro Corporation has been working with
CAMP for over fifteen years. Our association with the University
started with attendance at CAMP meetings, in which CAMP had
a desire to align itself with New York State companies. From
the beginning, and today as a member of CAMP, Ferro Electronic
Material Systems recognizes the quality of research that is
being undertaken at Clarkson University and immediately wants
to incorporate this research, both theoretical as well as
practical into the R&D programs underway within our business
unit. Ferro Corporation manufactures and produced materials
for the electronics industry. The work that is undertaken
at CAMP ranges from the theoretical modeling to development
of novel materials, processes and systems for use in the electronics
market. Ferro has aligned itself with CAMP to take advantage
of the research from the University, to move the developments
of CAMP into salable products that are produced competitively
for supply to a global electronics industry. We are proud
of the fact that Ferro Corporation, while sponsoring and funding
research at Clarkson University / CAMP, has been able to leverage
its association with CAMP to create new ideas, products, and
new jobs for New York State."
