ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 17, 2008 -- Atotech, a German developer of chemistry applications for the nanoelectronics industry, will conduct research and development in copper-plating technology as part of a $5 million program being launched in partnership with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany.

A team of Atotech researchers, led by its vice president of semiconductor technology, Robert Preisser, will be located at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex as part of the joint program, to devlop copper deposition technologies for use in advanced device structures. R&D activities will target chemistry development, mode of operation and analytical techniques, including online technologies, usable for computer chip, chemical and biological sensors for the health and energy industries, and biochips for medical applications.

Atotech, which has more than 3300 employees in 36 countries, will provide international support for the CNSE-centered program through its operations in Berlin and in Yokohama, Japan. As part of the collaboration, Atotech will also fund two fellowships for students at CNSE.

The agreement also includes the potential for further R&D initiatives that may involve the location of additional Atotech employees and tools at CNSE, the college said in a statement.

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
