Application Engineering Support
NITTA DuPont’s application engineering support performs polishing evaluations that are attended by customers. The results of the evaluations can be reviewed on the spot, with technical personnel engaging in direct discussion. This promotes deeper understanding for all those involved and makes it possible to take future actions faster. We see this as one of the types of value that we can supply to our customers as a result of our customer-first approach. We have operational members with a deep understanding of the special characteristics of polishing tools and measurement devices and application engineers.
Polishing Test Verification
Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) application engineers and polishing pad and polishing slurry technology development members perform polishing tests in clean rooms as part of their product development and proposal activities. With their track records of polishing work, nurtured through many years of research and development, they leverage their knowledge and skills in their particular fields of expertise, conducting multiple rounds of testing under various conditions to develop products they can feel confident about selling and supplying to customers.
