SEMI Europe recognizes Owen Guy as the Academia Impact Award recipient Top Stories European Chips Skills Academy publishes 2025 Skills Strategy Report The European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA), an European Union (EU)-funded initiative coordinated by SEMI Europe, today announced the publication of the Skills Strategy Report 2025 by DECISION Etudes & Conseil. More>> Share Tweet Share Forward SEMI Europe publishes 30 recommendations for a forward-looking European Chips Act Following the official approval of the SEMI European Advisory Board, SEMI today announced the publication of the SEMI Europe Chips Act Report a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of the European Chips Act and its impact on Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem. More>> Share Tweet Share Forward Advanced Plasma Resist Strip System The ENVIRO-1Xa photoresist removal equipment from ULVAC, offers superior performance at an exceptional price. The system can handle multiple wafer sizes to 200 mm. It utilizes a high efficiency downstream plasma source and can achieve ash rates >10µm/min, with a throughput of 70+wph, in a compact footprint of 1.57m2. It offers high process flexibility for demanding processes, such as: high-dose implanted resist removal, descum and surface modification, SU-8 and fluorinated resist removal, and MEMS sacrificial-layer removal. See ULVAC at B1,139.
