SGS IF has extended its portfolio for laboratory analysis along the supply chain of high tech industry clients: by outsourcing the analytical quality assurance of Advanced Mask Technology Center
AMTC is a manufacturer of lithographic photomasks and acts as a supplier and technology developer for the semiconductor industry.
On 1 February 2007 both partners started a flexible and state of the art laboratory model, directed by SGS IF.
With efficient laboratory management, analytical know- how and method development, SGS IF delivers an important contribution to the quality assurance.
The consequence is: AMTC is able to focus more on development and production - a competitive advantage in the global business environment.
SGS Institut Fresenius says it is the market leader for project development and sustainable run of strategic laboratory operation models Capital-intensive production in the high tech sector requires, aside from extremely flexible production lines, an absolutely reliable quality assurance from the raw material up to the final product, as well.
Analytical questions regarding impurity of process media and ultra trace contamination controls are resolvable at the new clean room lab (class 10).
The applications are available for semiconductor industry partners, their suppliers and concerned branches like thin film technology.
SGS IF has been in charge of quality duties for semiconductor industries for more than 15 years either through external analytical orders or as an outsourcing contract provider.
The company runs on-site laboratories for the local chip manufacturers in the middle of 'Silicon Saxony', in Saxony's capital Dresden.
Meanwhile SGS IF has become the biggest outsourcing partner for laboratory services in the semiconductor industry with more than 80 employees.
Laboratory outsourcing as a contribution for added value Lab projects realised by SGS Institut Fresenius, either start ups or new conceptions, are characterised by flexible costs and can be customised during run-time.
Therewith clients exploit added value and a modul for long-term flexible corporate planning.
Not only increasing cost pressure, also accessing to innovation as well as bundling of resources and their availability, lead to strategic win- win partnerships.
The location in Dresden is the most innovative service laboratory of its type for the semiconductor industry and technology- related branches.
The analytical profile on performance as well as the wide range of experience in efficient management of laboratory activities makes SGS IF the first partner for professional operation of laboratories.
