From July 23 to July 26 2023, SEMCO Technologies/KEMSTREAM will exhibit on ECM Greentech booth at the AVS 23^rd International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 2023) featuring the 10^th International Atomic Layer Etching Workshop (ALE 2023) in Bellevue, WA, USA.

SEMCO Technologies/KEMSTREAM will present KEMSTREAM and Flowlink products as well as SEMCO Technologies Electrostatic chucks (ESC or E-Chuck). KEMSTREAM products include Vapbox series DLI vaporizers that are especially efficient for low vapor pressure and thermally sensitive CVD and ALD precursors. KEMSTREAM’s Vapbox DLI vaporizers can operate at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum and can address a very wide range of ALD and CVD precursors and processes including CVD, MOCVD, PECVD, iCVD, CCVD, ALD, PEALD, MLD and MVD. Flowlink products are gas components for UHP gases handling and they include valves (diaphragm and bellow ones, standard and special), complex valves manifolds, filters and check valves. SEMCO Technologies Electrostatic chucks and smart clamping solutions can handle thin and ultra-thin wafers, up 450 mm diameter and up to 650°C.

Please stop by ECM Greentech booth # 315 where you can meet our ALD and ALE experts and discuss your need of gas components, of Electrostatic chucks and of vaporization of ALD precursors and ALE reactants.

SEMCO Technologies, Castries, FRANCE, international leader in Electro Static Chuck (ESC) and UHP gas components (Flowlink valves) for the semiconductor industry, has acquired KEMSTREAM. SEMCO Technologies is part of ECM Group, an international leader in high performance industrial thermal solutions, with a turnover of more than 100 M€, present in more than 30 countries with 475 employees and 19 subsidiaries around the world.
The synergies created by this acquisition and the transfer of KEMSTREAM products manufacturing in new cleanroom recently built by SEMCO Technologies will allow KEMSTREAM accelerating the business growth in providing more DLI vaporizers for production applications. It will also allow KEMSTREAM to address customer needs in a more reactive manner by increasing the number of DLI vaporizers kept on stock.
Furthermore, KEMSTREAM products are very complementary to SEMCO Technologies products and will complete and extend the range of components offered by SEMCO Technologies to its customers.

From June 26 to June 29 2022, KEMSTREAM will exhibit at the AVS 22^nd International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 2022) featuring the 9^th International Atomic Layer Etching Workshop (ALE 2022). It will be a four-day meeting dedicated to the science and technology of atomic layer controlled deposition of thin films and now topics related to atomic layer etching. The conference will take place at the International Convention Center (ICC) Ghent in Ghent, Belgium. During the industry tradeshow that will take place along with the technical sessions, KEMSTREAM will present its latest developments and advancements in the field of DLI (Direct Liquid Injection) vaporizers designed for demanding ALD, ALE and CVD precursors-reactants and processes. Please stop by our booth # 30 where you can meet our ALD and ALE expert and discuss your need for vaporization of ALD precursors and ALE reactants.

KEMSTREAM introduces on the market a new version of the Vapbox 300, its best seller DLI vaporizer. Compared to the former version of the Vapbox 300, this new version features an improved internal design with new baffle geometry to increase vaporisation efficiency. The vaporization chamber of the new Vapbox 300 version is also able to operate up to 250°C for only 220°C for the former version. These modifications improve the global perfomances of the DLI vaporizer and open new possibilities and markets for the Vapbox 300.

Established in April 2006, Kemstream is pleased to celebrate its 10^th year. On this occasion, Kemstream would like to thank all its valuable and faithful customers for their business. We hope to continue working with you in the future, to help you reach your goals. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight the fact that the satisfaction of our clients with our products will always be our highest priority.

July 18^th 2014 Montpellier, France, Advanced Direct Liquid Injection manufacturer Kemstream, enters into a sales collaboration agreement with the market leader HORIBA.

“As the recognized leader in flow and vapor control to the semiconductor industry HORIBASTEC is working together with its customers to develop products to deliver next generation precursors to the process chamber. We are very happy now to also bring Kemstream’s extensive expertise in advanced direct liquid injection technology to our customers”, comments Stuart Knight, HORIBA’s Europe VP. “HORIBA’s vaporizer product range will be complemented by Kemstream’s direct liquid injection products which will help us meet the unique demands of next generation solid precursors”.

HORIBASTEC, the world leader for semiconductor manufacturing industries, offers customers a full line of liquid flow control and liquid source vaporisation and control systems. A variety of vaporiser technologies are available from HORIBASTEC for different precursors. These include baking, direct injection and mixing to guarantee efficient and stable delivery of vapor to the point of use. Auto refill systems complete the line-up, offering uninterrupted, safe and reliable delivery of liquid precursors, increasing uptime and reducing operator handling and risk of process contamination.

Kemstream’s President, Jean Manuel Decams states, “we are very happy to collaborate with HORIBA. By taking Kemstream’s advanced direct liquid injection products and expertise and marrying with HORIBA’s experience and strong global network we feel that the wider market will have better access to Kemstream’s cutting edge direct liquid injection technology”.

Kemstream’s latest innovation is the Vapbox series, a wide range of high-performing direct liquid injection (DLI) vaporizers. Vapbox DLI vaporizers feature a proprietary injection-atomization technology and an optimized vaporization chamber design which allow them to perform reliable, accurate and repeatable vaporization of liquid and dissolved solid compounds and precursors. The Vapbox range generates pure vapors for every application that requires a reactive gas phase that has to be obtained from liquid or solid compounds and precursors. These applications include CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) processes. 

About KEMSTREAM: KEMSTREAM develops and manufactures innovative advanced Direct Liquid Injection (DLI) vaporizers for demanding CVD, MOCVD, and ALD processes and precursors.
