Dockweiler marketing MO precursors for III/V-on-Si under DOCK/CHEMICALS brand

Dockweiler Chemicals GmbH of Marburg, Germany, which supplies highly purified, liquid metal-organic (MO) compounds for chemical vapour deposition (CVD) applications, says that it is marketing its international full-service solutions with immediate effect under the brand name DOCK/CHEMICALS.

The firm has a long-standing competence in the manufacturing of chemicals for III/V compound semiconductors on silicon. DOCK/CHEMICALS clients profit from efficient CVD deposition, a faster time-to-market and an enhanced semiconductor performance.

“After our intensive research in developing innovative precursor systems for the successful integration of compound semiconductors on silicon, we are now starting its international marketing,” says CEO & co-founder Dr Arnd Greiling. With the fluid precursor system, Dockweiler Chemicals’ innovation introduces a safer, higher-performing and cost-effective process, the firm claims.

“The use of TBAs [tertiarybutylarsine] and TBP [tertiarybutylphosphine] to realize these novel material systems offers enhanced material quality and device performance in addition to improved safety,” says professor Wolfgang Stolz, co-founder of Dockweiler Chemicals and co-head of the firm’s parent organization STRL (Structure and Technology Research Lab) at Philipps-University Marburg. The firm says that, to guarantee the purity and consistency of the chemicals, it has implemented the unique EPIGRADE quality program as an essential part of its total quality system.

Dockweiler Chemicals is an interdisciplinary spin-off from the Philipps-University in Marburg. The entire management team stems from the university, including third co-founder & chief technology officer Dr Andreas Salzmann, who is responsible for the entire site management.

Following the firm’s full-service concept, in addition to the precursors DOCK/CHEMICALS also offers equipment solutions and delivery systems – both optimized to the specific requirements of its clients. With a focus on customer processes, DOCK/CHEMICALS solutions also include the customization of chemicals, improving deposition processes and enabling next-generation semiconductor devices, the firm claims.

Furthermore, the firm claims that its international client base benefits from complete supply-chain management and comprehensive cylinder management, based on decades of experience handling ultrapure chemicals.

“DOCK/CHEMICALS is a disruptive high-tech solution, providing innovative semiconductor and solar industry companies a decisive step ahead in development, thus making DOCK/CHEMICALS Semiconductors Decision,” says Dr Jörg Koch, physicist & chief marketing officer.
