Clairton, PA – January 15, 2010 - The Kurt J. Lesker Co. (KJLC), in partnership with Integran Technologies USA, was awarded funding by the Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center (PANCC) for the commercial development of nCu (high purity Copper) sputtering targets used in the fabrication of the latest generation semiconductor devices.
“This award for nCu commercialization is an important step in providing the next generation deposition materials to keep pace with the ever shrinking architecture of semiconductor devices. We are pleased the PANCC recognized the importance of this development in choosing our project for funding” Kurt J. Lesker, President KJLC.
The high purity, fine-grained copper targets, known as “nCu”, represents a significant advancement in the quality of copper targets available in the market. This next generation product will be manufactured using Nanovate™ technology, a novel process technique, developed by project partner, Integran Technologies USA. “Integran ’s advanced material technology, combined with the global presence and manufacturing experience of the Kurt J. Lesker Co. creates a unique opportunity for not only our semiconductor customers but for all of our materials customers to benefit worldwide” Kurt J. Lesker, President KJLC.
The mission of the Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center is to promote and support the commercialization of nanomaterials research for new and enhanced products critical to the U.S. economy and manufacturing base. The Center builds upon Pennsylvania’s excellence in advanced materials research, development and manufacturing, and acts as a new model for a public-private partnership among government, universities, entrepreneurs, small and large companies to accelerate the transition from nanomaterials invention and innovation to the launch of new products and processes.
The Center has two RFP (request for proposals) rounds per year. The selection process is competitive, with proposals being reviewed and ranked by an independent Technical Advisory Committee. The project proposed by KJLC fits both the Technology Roadmap and commercialization model developed by the Center. For more information on the PANCC, go to the Center’s website at www.pananocenter.org
The Kurt J. Lesker Co. has received $266,720 of Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) funding, with KJLC and Integran providing a total of $102,920 in matching funds.
