Entegris and HOF begin Partnership to bring Added Value to Biopharm Bulk Drug Substance, Cold Storage, and Transport

Entegris is proud to announce a new relationship with HOF Sonderanlagenbau GmbH, an international provider of freeze/thaw equipment and special solutions for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. Entegris offers the best-in-class Aramus™ bag for robust cold storage and transport. 

Collaborating with HOF enables Entegris to offer a combined solution for our customers that accelerate the freeze/thaw process and help showcase our new Life Sciences Technology Center, built to offer customers the opportunity to leverage our cold-chain supply expertise to optimize processes, reduce costs, and increase speed to market.


Having the HOF freeze/thaw unit placed within the Life Science Technology Center enables our customers the possibility of finding the best available solution for their individual process. This partnership increases our leading position in the market and facilitates US-based customers getting in touch with our equipment and identifying their unique single-use solution.

Our new Life Sciences Technology Center, located in Billerica, MA, will feature HOF freezers and offers life sciences customers the opportunity to leverage our expertise on cold-chain supply challenges to optimize processes, reduce costs, and increase speed-to-market. The world-class laboratory brings our tools and technologies together in one place, where customers can test equipment for freeze/thaw processes to determine which products best fit their needs.

We have developed a broad component ecosystem that can be configured to manage the most demanding process needs, and we’re excited to maximize the freeze/thaw benefits for the customer in our new partnership with HOF Freezers.

New Materials: Smoothing the Transition to Molybdenum

Changing one material in the semiconductor manufacturing process has a cascading effect on multiple process steps. Consider the replacement of tungsten (W) and copper (Cu) with molybdenum (Mo). Integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) are implementing Mo in advanced designs, focusing on 2-nanometer (nm) nodes and below. Mo is highly conductive, can be deposited without a titanium or titanium nitrid

Not Your Average Wafer: Solving CMP Challenges in High-Volume SiC Production

Silicon carbide (SiC) has become popular with chipmakers. Its wide-bandgap structure offers many design benefits for the operations of power semiconductors. Compared to silicon, SiC wafers enable the fabrication of faster, more efficient devices that can both operate at higher temperatures and remain stable when deployed in extreme temperature environments. Processing SiC wafers using the same materials and methods as silicon wafers is not a viable option, however.

Avoid Powder Pitfalls and Keep Your Business Clean

Powder can be a mess when not delt with properly. Have you ever dropped a bag of flour on the floor after coming home from the store? Cleaning up the mess is terrible (speaking from experience, don’t add water or you just make glue). Now imagine doing that in a manufacturing suite with powdered media. The powder is literally designed to grow cells, so anything you miss is just a new petri dish that can generate contamination. Plus, there’s the added challenge of having to validate that the room is clean after attending to the spill.
