The demand for data storage seems endless. Big data is driving the requirement for big data storage devices. New materials continue to enable innovative solutions to today's data storage challenges. VEM is working with the major data storage suppliers to provide these solutions.

IC packaging is the final step in the semiconductor fabrication process before testing and shipping devices to customers. A large number of different types of packages exist and new ones continue to be developed. In addition, integrated circuit dies are often developed for direct connection to a substrate. In flip chip systems the IC is connected by solder bumps to a substrate. All of these packaging technologies require new material. VEM is working with a breadth of packaging suppliers to develop new solutions to the challenges they're facing.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, are micro-structures created using semiconductor fabrication processes. MEMS devices are widely used in consumer, communication, and computer applications. They include gyroscopes, accelerometers, inertial measurement units, pressure sensors, inertial sensors, RF devices, microphones, micro-bolometers, and inkjet heads. VEM is working with many of the leading MEMS suppliers and foundries for both process and packaging solutions.

Light-Emitting Diodes, or LED's are devices that emit infrared or visible light when charged with an electric current. LED's are rapidly being adopted as an efficient and low energy solution in a broad range of applications from indicator lamps to general lighting. LED's are fabricated on compound semiconductor substrates such as GaAs and GaN. VEM is working with many of the largest suppliers of LED devices. We're helping them develop new materials and new solutions to their R&D and production challenges.
