Entegris wins long term supply of CMP solutions to onsemi

Entegris has entered into a long-term supply agreement with onsemi, where Entegris will provide onsemi a broad range of co-optimized chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) solutions for silicon carbide (SiC) applications. “Over the past four years, Entegris has leveraged its technology and innovation to become a leader in the growing SiC market, and we are pleased to enter into this long-term supply agreement with onsemi. Entegris will provide our leading CMP solutions to onsemi to assist the company in meeting the growing demands of its customers and the overall market,” said Bertrand Loy, president and CEO of Entegris.
