Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technologies

On April 1, 2017, Sumika Electronic Materials officially changed our name to Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technologies. The name change reflects our expanding product offering, affiliation with Sumitomo Chemical's global network, and dedication to offering high-quality advanced technology solutions to our customers. electronic components). Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd. located in Phoenix Arizona. This year we are celebrating our 15th anniversary. Our core competencies have always been in Manufacturing, Development, and Sales of Epitaxial Wafers, Engineering Plastics, and Photoresist Chemicals. However, in the last few years, we have expanded into Manufacturing and Sales of Wet Chemistry, Polarizing Film, OLED, High Purity Alumina, Resorcinol, and Penacolite Resins. Epitaxial Manufacturing Compound semiconductors such as GaAs are increasingly used in a variety of commercial applications including wireless communications, 3D imaging/sensing, fiber optic communications, and solar energy conversion. We manufacture custom epitaxial wafers using MOCVD (Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition) in our state-of-the-art facility in Phoenix, AZ. Our current focus is on the growth of epitaxial wafers for optoelectronic devices including light emitting diodes (LEDs) and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). Our Facility Our 50,000-square foot facility includes over 6,000 square feet of clean room space to produce gallium arsenide epitaxial wafers for the Compound Semiconductor market worldwide. In addition to our multiple MOCVD epitaxial growth systems, we have a full complement of materials characterization tools along with a small device fabrication facility which are used to guarantee conformance to customer specifications. We have several quality management certifications including ISO-9001 (quality), ISO-14001 (environmental), and OHSAS-18001 (safety).
