Japan has long been one of Picosun’s most important market areas, where the demand for industrial ALD solutions is constantly increasing. In order to always guarantee first-class service to the esteemed customers in the area, Picosun Japan Co. Ltd was established as Picosun’s local subsidiary. Now, to extend this sales and service network even further, Ushio and Picosun have decided to collaborate, with Ushio working as Picosun’s sales representative. Ushio is a well-known, well-established supplier of a wide variety of manufacturing equipment to the global semiconductor market, and Picosun’s fully automated, SEMI-compliant, and production line compatible industrial ALD systems will be a key addition to their portfolio.
“We are very happy and excited to start working with Picosun. Through this collaboration we are able to offer added value to our customers, in a form of integrated manufacturing solutions consisting of Picosun’s high-class ALD systems combined with our own products such as lithography tools and curing equipment. With Picosun’s state-of-the-art equipment design, production-proven processes, and unmatched ALD expertise, our customers can realize a wide range of cutting-edge products in areas such as integrated circuits (especially 3D/TSV components), LEDs, and MEMS,” states Mr.Jikihara, General Manager of Ushio’s System Solution Division Sales department.
“Ushio’s established position and high reputation in the semiconductor industry will be valuable assets to Picosun. When it comes to our industrial clientele, Japan is one of our strongholds. Several PICOSUN™ batch and cluster ALD systems are already running in production at high profile customers, and demand for more is steadfastly growing. It is vital that our local sales and support network is unwavering and always able to meet the requirements of these important customers, with cost-efficient and comprehensive turn-key solutions,” summarizes Mr. John Kenney, CEO of Picosun Japan Co.
