Challenge
A leading innovator in high-performance, cost-effective physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems wanted to introduce the first in a new line of clusters tools to support high-volume semiconductor production around the globe.
Solution
We closely collaborated with the company’s engineering department on the redesign of the frames for two of the company’s PVD systems.
We also handled a complete redesign on the base plates that formerly required a three-step process, and now can be made completely out of one-piece billet aluminum — saving both production lead-time and cost.
Design changes continue to be made by Tobar Industries’ and the company’s engineering teams to further drive down costs on all product builds.
