NexPlanar Corporation designs, tests, and manufactures specialized CMP pads for advanced semiconductors and hard drives. The pads utilize a proprietary nano-domain design and a repeatable compression-molded process to improve planarity and wafer uniformity, with customization possible for specific applications. By tuning the hard and soft domains, the pads can tailor performance for sensitive device structures, while nano-lubricants and groove technologies support lower-stress CMP and reduce defects. Based in Portland, Oregon, the company operates in the semiconductor manufacturing sector as a supplier of specialized CMP consumables. Its customers are manufacturers of advanced semiconductors and hard drives seeking precise planarization and process control, and NexPlanar emphasizes customized pad solutions for varying architectures.
