Harnessing the Benefit of Precious Metals Deposition While Managing Total Cost of Ownership
This presentation will explore the material benefits of precious metals in the wafer fabrication process and important total cost of ownership considerations for the fab. The high cost and market volatility of precious metals create obstacles for high-volume manufacturing. However, in today’s fab, efficient power management requires thin-film performance only possible through the use of gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Materion offers unique insights on how best to manage precious metals inside and outside of fab environments. This presentation will provide an overview of considerations when integrating precious metals into the fab supply chain
