Frequently Asked Questions

 
Who are IES's equipment technology partners?

 IES partners with six equipment manufacturers serving the semiconductor, photonics, MEMS, and compound materials industries: Veeco (Massachusetts, USA), EV Group (Austria), scia Systems (Germany), Alpha Plasma (Germany), Surface Science Integration (Arizona, USA), and Plasma Parylene Systems (Germany). Each covers a different core technology, from lithography and wafer bonding to plasma processing and thin film deposition. 

scia Systems

Chemnitz, Germany

Scia Systems designs ion beam technology, metal deposition, chemical vapour deposition and plasma process systems for nanometer-precise surface processing. The company’s products are typically used in the high volume production, and research and development, of MEMS, microelectronics and precision optical components. Among the key applications of scia Systems products are thickness trimming and frequency in BAW / SAW device manufacturing, and multilayer optic coating for extreme ultraviolet lithography.

scia Systems is recognised for the high reliability of its flexible tools, and the provision of excellent technical support. A range of vacuum chamber processes can be selected by the customer for scia Systems’ in-line or cluster solutions.

Does IES supply equipment for atomic layer deposition (ALD)? 

Yes. IES partners with Veeco, based in Massachusetts, USA, to supply atomic layer deposition tools to the UK and European microelectronics market. 

Who supplies wafer bonding and nano-imprint lithography equipment in the UK and Europe?

IES partners with EV Group (EVG), based in St. Florian am Inn, Austria, covering photolithography, nano-imprinting, and wafer bonding systems. 

What plasma processing equipment does IES provide?

IES works with two specialist plasma partners: Alpha Plasma (Bad Aibling, Germany), which covers microwave etching for resist ashing, descum, surface activation, and device packaging; and Plasma Parylene Systems (Rosenheim, Germany), which covers wider plasma technology applications. 

Who supplies ion beam trimming and lens figuring equipment?

IES partners with scia Systems, based in Chemnitz, Germany, which specialises in advanced ion beam trimming, lens figuring, and milling solutions. 

Does IES offer rapid thermal processing (RTP) equipment?

Yes, through IES's partnership with Surface Science Integration, based in Arizona, USA, which specialises in rapid thermal processing systems. 

Can I see this equipment demonstrated before buying?

Yes. IES can arrange live or online demonstrations at its partners' application labs across Europe and the US, covering EVG, scia Systems, Veeco, PPS, and SSI, tailored to a specific process or a full solution evaluation. 

Why buy semiconductor equipment through IES rather than direct from the manufacturer?

IES provides local UK and European engineering support, application knowledge, and long-term service backing alongside the equipment itself, rather than just a sales transaction — relevant given IES has supported semiconductor fabs and OEMs since 1991. 

Experience the Technology Firsthand

Discover the capabilities of our equipment partners — including EVG, scia Systems, Veeco, PPS and SSI — through live or online demonstrations from their dedicated application labs across Europe and the US. Whether you're exploring a specific process or evaluating a full solution, we can arrange tailored demos to match your requirements.
