COVID-19 Success Story: Delivering Solutions, Protecting People

As a partner, Entegris is continuously developing solutions for our customers’ biggest challenges. An unprecedented pandemic came with a one-of-a-kind challenge: help a leading COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer scale up their process.

Our relationship began years before the pandemic, on the trade show room floor at our booth. The customer was in search of a single-use solution for their unstable MRNA technology. They needed a bag that was nonreactive and tough, and they found it in our Aramus™ 2D single-use bags. After our initial meeting, we rapidly sent them samples to try, which enabled them to validate that these were going to work. We continued to listen to their needs as the relationship evolved, making sure our product fit into their workflow. All this is well and good but it only works if we delivered at every stage.

When the pandemic brought a war-effort level of production, because of the foundation we built, they called on us to be their supplier. And supply we did. From a sample to over 100 thousand bags and counting, we scaled with them. What is even more impactful is how we scaled, finding solutions to their needs through regular communication, becoming a trusted advisor by providing custom solutions including freezer shells, and helping with their validation process. Ramping up our production efforts, successfully growing with our customer, and helping to roll-out one of the greatest vaccination efforts in history is something we are proud of. Our foundation of research, science, technology, and global supply chain experience gave us the tools, and our people put them into action.

Delivering beneficial customer outcomes with optimized freeze/thaw workflow solutions enabled our customer to help vaccinate the world and continue to forge ahead with new solutions. Let us become your trusted partner that provides robust and reliable single-use solutions for bulk drug freeze/thaw storage and transport.

Exploring the Superiority of Silicon Carbide in Optical Components

Exploring the Superiority of Silicon Carbide in Optical Components Silicon carbide (SiC) is a leading material for high-performance optical components, offering numerous advantages over traditional materials such as glass and metal. Its exceptional specific stiffness, high thermal conductivity, and outstanding dimensional stability position SiC as a superior choice compared to beryllium and low-expansion glass ceramics. Historically, the high costs associated with the preliminary shaping and final finishing of SiC have hindered its widespread adoption in optical systems. The material is both hard and strong, requiring precision machining with expensive diamond tooling on high-quality, rigid machine tools. However, advances in manufacturing techniques, such as near-net-shape slip casting, have demonstrated success in reducing costs despite necessitating significant diamond grinding. Building on this success, Entegris offers an entirely new way of creating SiC. Using our chemical vapor conversion process, we can create net- or near net-shaped SiC components in complex forms while spending much less time on fabrication.

Entegris Offers New FOUP Form-Factors for Non-Standard Wafers

Entegris Offers New FOUP Form-Factors for Non-Standard Wafers Over the last few years, 3D stacking has gone from a relatively niche fabrication method to an absolute necessity for cutting-edge applications. As chipmakers delve into smaller and smaller nodes, stacking and die-bonding wafers has become a preferred way of creating more processing power in a smaller space. Stacked and bonded wafers don’t behave the same way as 2D wafers: Wafers are thinned prior to bonding, which results in wafers that can sag when handled Bonded wafers are thicker and heavier than 2D wafers when assembled Bonded wafers can also warp following assembly Many automation tools rely on the predictable geometry and characteristics of 2D silicon wafers for safe handling and transport. While stacked and bonded wafers are a game-changer for miniaturization, they can also force manufacturing compromises unless chipmakers adopt specialized tools for the back end of the line (BEOL).
