WELCOME TO JH Rhodes Company
|
|
Advancements in the
electronics surfacing industry dictate a need for specific solutions to
the many processing challenges facing today's market.
Drawing on over seventy years
of polishing expertise and an in-depth knowledge of current fabrication
technologies, Universal Photonics’
JH Rhodes Company has
developed a product line to address specific applications in the disk,
silicon wafer, and integrated circuit (IC) production processes.
|
|
Our commitment to the
electronics surfacing industry is supported with a solid technical
foundation in the physical and material sciences, and process/application
engineering. Our ISO Certified factory, located in Clinton, New York,
manufactures a wide variety of pads to meet the stringent requirements of
the semiconductor industry.
|
|
|
|
Headquartered in Phoenix,
Arizona, JH Rhodes Company has a wide range of high quality, cost effective
consumables and the technical know-how to meet the needs of virtually all
electronic surfacing and polishing disciplines.
|
|
|
No other advancement in the
production of semiconductors has had as powerful an impact as chemical mechanical
planarization (CMP). Combining chemical and mechanical
energy, CMP is the only known process for achieving the planarity
required for sub 0.5 micron devices, and meeting the requirements for sub
0.2 micron device structures and advanced interconnect schemes
production.
|
|
|
|
Our ESM-U pad is a unique
micro-cellular foamed elastomer with controlled cells designed to
increase pad performance for CMP users. Its unique structure improves
planarity, increases removal rate, and provides longer life on a
variety of CMP applications. This product is available in a variety of
standard grooving patterns and sizes - as well as custom configurations
- to support all commercial CMP tools.
|
|
|
While most computer chips are manufactured
on silicon substrates, certain IC’s like those used for Internet and
wireless communications employ alternative substrates. Whatever the
material - silicon, gallium arsenide (GaAs), germanium (Ge), etc., each
requires the same critical surfacing and polishing disciplines.

|
A unique micro-cellular
foamed elastomer with controlled cells, the ESM-57 has been designed for
increased pad performance. ESM-57’s unique pore distribution allows
lower required downforce and processing consistency, thereby improving
flatness, increasing removal rate, and providing longer life in
substrate applications. This product is available in a variety of
standard grooving patterns and sizes - as well as custom configurations
- to support all commercial polishing machines.

The Internet explosion has
made high-speed storage a number one priority. Today the storage industry
has two technologies with which to meet this priority. GMR or Giant
Magneto Resistive (read-write) head technology relies on production
processes and materials very similar to device wafers. The second
technology rising to fill the need for high-speed storage is glass-based
storage systems. Traditionally disk drives have stored information on
rigid nickel-plated aluminum disks. Glass outperforms nickel disks in
that it has better surface characteristics and dimensional stability.
Glass disk technology is making its debut in commercial applications where
its additional performance benefits are needed.

ESM-013’s unique micro-cellular
structure enables it to act in a “sponge-like” manner while maintaining
the hardness and flatness necessary in critical surface preparations.
This product is available in a variety of standard grooving patterns
and sizes - as well as custom configurations - to support all
commercial CMP tools.

|
Uni-Nap is an intrinsic
napped poromeric material with uniform pore structure and high pore
wall strength. Its consistent, uniform pore size, excellent surface
finish and long life are the results of tightly controlled
manufacturing parameters ideal for final polishing processes. This
product is available in a variety of grooving patterns and sizes - as
well as custom configurations.
