MONTREAL, Aug. 1, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - GLV Inc. (GLV Group) is proud to
announce that its business sector Ovivo was recently recognized as the
only water treatment company to be part of a select group of companies
who will collaborate to develop the next generation of wafer fabs: the
Facility 450 Consortium (F450C). "It is a demonstration of trust from the semiconductor industry, and
especially, a recognition of Ovivo's technological skills in the
ultra-pure and water recycling technologies, "said Richard Verreault,
President and Chief Executive Officer of GLV Inc.
Following the formal announcement from New York's Governor Cuomo of the formation of the F450C, ten leading nanoelectronics facility companies from around the world
will collaborate at SUNY's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering
(CNSE) to lead the global effort to design and build the
next-generation 450mm computer chip fabrication facilities. At the
semiconductor industry's annual SEMICON West tradeshow, which took
place in San Francisco, California, on July 9-11, the F450C hosted its first public panel discussion about facility and
infrastructure solutions for the transition to 450mm wafer fabrication.
Beyond the manufacturing hurdles that 450mm wafer processing brings,
next generation wafer fabs present new challenges with respect to the
design of the facilities, substrate handling, tool connection, chemical
distribution, water and electrical systems and many other areas. Where
the G450C provides leadership in the area of 450mm equipment and process
technologies, the goal of the F450C is to develop facility and infrastructure solutions essential to the
transition to 450mm wafer fabrication. Ovivo is the only water
treatment company selected by the F450C, given its ultrapure water, water recycling and wastewater treatment
know-how and track record.
