Hometown also features a state-of-the-art R&D laboratory. The technology team consists of research chemists and engineers, laboratory technicians and specialists, scale-up engineers and analytical chemists. We synthesize and purify new molecules down to parts per billion impurity levels and below using the latest technologies available in the industry. These organometallic compounds are deposited on semiconductor wafers through cutting-edge technologies to test their performance for semiconductor applications. Our researchers can assess the applications for these new molecules and scale up the molecules to larger quantities for customer evaluation. Additionally, the facility is capable of small-volume manufacturing and advanced analytical and quality assessments.
We take great pride in knowing that almost all electronic devices are created with our technology, which is why we are behind the companies advancing digital living! If you’d like to join our team, apply today.
