TCB San Jose Attains Certification for RNT’s NanoBond® Process

HUNT VALLEY, MD – Reactive NanoTechnologies, Inc. (RNT), developer and manufacturer of its patented NanoFoil^®, today announced that the San Jose, CA facility of Thermal Conductive Bonding, Inc (TCB) a provider of bonding services including the bonding of sputter target assemblies, has passed RNT’s NanoBond^® Certification Program. The certification involves a combination of training and audits for NanoBond^® licensees’ equipment, practices, and procedures. TCB is scheduled to certify its facilities in Allersburg, Germany, and Siheung-Si, Gyeonggi-Do, Korea during the balance of 2009.

NanoBond^® is used to bond sputter targets to backing plates at room temperature, allowing the end user to enjoy higher sputter rates, improved yield and increased sputter tool uptime. The NanoBond^® Certification Program creates a common process platform for NanoBond^® licensees. The program assures that bond shops will offer a statistically consistent and high-yield NanoBond^® process that will meet the quality needs of their customers.

“We’re excited to have TCB complete the NanoBond^® Certification Program and believe it will enhance their ability to supply high-quality, high-performing sputter target products to their customers”, stated Michael P. O’Neill, RNT’s Global Vice President of Sales. “We are pleased to see TCB use NanoBond^® to aggressively extend their global leadership in bonding service capabilities and customer specific solutions.”
