iST has recently offered MOSFET wafer backend process integrated service in Taiwan. The wafer thinning – Backside Grinding/ Backside Metallization (BGBM) process has begun mass production with orders released by customers since this month, led by a lift in sentiment among customers due to the continuously improving yield rate of 99.5% for three consecutive months in line with the needs of major customers.
To assist customers in one-stop integration to the BGBM process, iST’s Front-side Metallization Process (FSM) is offering Chemical / Electro-less Plating service on top of Sputtering Deposition beginning this month. The post-installation test was successful and small scale mass production is underway for customers.
