Juli 09 18:31 2012

READING, PA — (Marketwire) — 07/09/12 — Quadrant is launching at the Semicon West 2012 trade show on July 10-12, 2012. This new material delivers a competitive advantage to engineers by delivering a higher performance material option combined with lower overall production costs.

Semitron® MPR1000 is a breakthrough engineering and more, but specifically for use in vacuum chamber applications. According to Quadrant EPP Global Market Segment Manager Scott Williams, the new material will fill the performance gap left by traditional materials. „Over the years, increasing electrode power levels, combined with aggressive plasma chemistries, led engineers to turn to expensive ceramics or breakage-prone quartz as their only options,“ says Williams. Utilizing advanced technology, the engineers at , the world-s largest manufacturer of , developed Semitron® MPR1000 to be the go-to option for plasma-based applications.

„The unique properties of Semitron® MPR1000 strike the perfect balance between the highest level of and real value by delivering superior toughness (up to 25 times longer life over traditional plastics such as polyimide), while providing lower overall cost in use and ease of machining compared to semiconductor-grade ceramics,“ states Williams. Another notable benefit is the material-s cleanliness in the form of low ionic metal content and low out-gassing.

Quadrant will feature their new Semitron® MPR1000 material — again adding to the industry-s most at booth #2119 in the South Hall of Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA July 10-12, 2012. Application specialists and technical experts will be in attendance to answer any questions relating to the new material, as well as other engineering and application concerns.
