As part of its continuing effort to offer customers access to world-class solutions, SVTC Technologies, the premier innovation partner for accelerating nanotechnology innovation, announced today it has adopted XperiDesk® — a comprehensive solution for the efficient management of high-tech process development — from the Dortmund, Germany based company, Process Relations, GmbH, a world leader in the area of semiconductor process management software.
XperiDesk, a Process Development Execution System (PDES), improves planning and assists in the preparation of experimental process development by providing easy access to existing knowledge and allowing users to utilize past process experimental data to its fullest extent. This industry-leading software solution will help SVTC customers leverage their existing knowledge, optimize their research and development (R&D) work flow, and develop their manufacturing processes to achieve profitability faster and at a lower cost.
SVTC Technologies provides a complete range of technology development solutions through in-house capabilities and a select network of strategic partners. SVTC will use XperiDesk to further optimize their unique process development services for the semiconductor and photovoltaic community, enabling customers to get to production faster and more cost effectively. In addition, XperiDesk aids in achieving regulatory compliance to ensure all aspects of information governance, during the development phase, are covered.
“Customer reports have shown a 15% improvement in development cycles and more than 25% reduction in development costs by eliminating added experiments and unwanted down-time,” says Process Relations’ CEO, Dr. Dirk Ortloff. “XperiDesk helps customers maximize the value of their existing process knowledge to ensure that engineers spend their time effectively, accelerating time to market.”
After an extensive trial, SVTC selected XperiDesk to augment its already expansive solution set to support customer process development. “We are confident that XperiDesk will accelerate our customers’ development time and reduce the get-to-market cost,” said Kevin Kassekert, Vice President and General Manager of SVTC Technologies’ Silicon Services Business Unit. “We are excited about the positive impact we expect this partnership will have on empowering our customers, as well as our own engineering teams, to more rapidly develop technology and accelerate time to market.”
