IntraCu® - Umicore copper additives for the semiconductor industry - Article on Global Spec

In just 3 minutes, get a clear overview of how our IntraCu^® series helps take advanced packaging to the next level. The article covers the following topics in more detail:

Stress-free copper as a "gamechanger"
Additives provide material properties and crystal structures that overcome typical limitations in semiconductor production.
IC reliability as the main advantage
Reduced production waste and significantly longer durability of ICs are highlighted as the main advantages.
Compatibility with existing processes
Production of stress-free copper requires no additional process steps or equipment and is compatible with existing equipment.
Overview of the semiconductor portfolio
Copper(II) oxide for dry metal replenishment (DMR), anode/cathode materials for ECD systems and sputtering and vaporization materials (TFP) round off the offering for this segment.
