Watlow is the global leader in providing innovative thermal solutions for semiconductor applications ranging from crystal growth through front-end wafer process to back-end assembly. Ever since the first semiconductor diode, temperature has played an important role in semiconductor manufacturing processes. Watlow was there at the beginning and continues to provide proven results to the industry''s processes including in-situ deposition, etch and photolithography. Watlow''s solutions are based on an understanding of the Semiconductor Technology Roadmap. As dimensions shrink, temperature as a critical process variable increases in importance for equipment and process engineers. Watlow meets the ongoing demands of the industry and the thermal challenges of the Semiconductor Technology Roadmap. We continue to invest in R&D, global manufacturing and sourcing and introductions of new thermal technologies and solutions.
