Desert Silicon Inc. announced the successful qualification of its spin-on glass material with i3system Inc. Spin-on glass (SOG) is a silicate-based liquid compound, primarily used by the semiconductor industry in the manufacturing of integrated circuits and discrete components. This critical electronic material component is often leveraged in the early stages of product development for semiconductor and electronic device manufacturers. Research and development labs also use SOG for the development of new or improving existing manufactured products, such as integrated circuits, solar cells, MEMS, and discrete components.
