Tokyo Electron releases plasma etch systems for manufacturing high resolution FPD

Tokyo Electron (TEL) announced the launch of Impressio 1800 PICP Pro and Betelex 1800 PICP Pro, the company's latest plasma etch systems featuring the new PICP Pro chamber for high resolution processing of 6th generation (1,500 x 1,850 mm) glass substrates.

TEL has developed PICP Pro, which offers a new capability to control the plasma-space-generating area while retaining the high-precision etch performance of TEL's proprietary PICP high-density plasma source. The newly added capability reduces the generation of particles that adversely affect maintenance and yield, achieving lower running costs than those for previous PICP.

Toray Creates Ultra-Thin Graphene Dispersion Solution Offering Outstanding Fluidity and Conductivity

Toray Industries announced that it has developed an ultra-thin graphene (see glossary) dispersion solution with excellent fluidity and electrical and thermal conductivity. Applications that could benefit significantly from the solution include battery and wiring materials and paints.

Toray developed a dispersion technology to control viscosity by adding a unique polymer material that suppresses aggregation from interactions between graphene. The result was a highly concentrated ultra-thin graphene dispersion solution with increased fluidity. The fluidity is excellent, even in high concentrations. The solution is accordingly easy to handle and apply without dilution and more readily demonstrates its outstanding electrical conductivity and other advantages. The high dispersibility and ease of mixing make it simple to blend the solution with other materials.
