Samco was the first Japanese semiconductor process equipment manufacturer to provide Silicon Deep Reaction (DRIE) systems using the Bosch Process. We offer DRIE systems with a range of sample sizes and number of chambers for MEMS device fabrication and TSV via-hole etching. Our systems have industry-leading process capabilities, and the product lineup covers both R&D and production. For high-volume device manufacturing, a double reaction chamber specification is also available.
