Ereztech Announces Expansion with Purchase of Saukville Facility

May 26, 2022 (Sheboygan Falls, WI) – Ereztech, a leading provider of organometallic precursors, is pleased to announce the purchase of a new 30,000 square foot facility located in Saukville, Wisconsin. This state-of-the-art facility will provide Ereztech with a greater production footprint, allowing it to grow its domestic production capacity and streamline its supply chain. 

“The Saukville site expands the efforts of our Sheboygan Falls facility to provide vertically integrated, customized processes for a broad range of organometallic precursors,” says CEO Roman Rytov. “Our control over precursor synthesis, down to the raw material level, purification, and packaging supports high volume manufacturing tailored to our customer’s requirements.”

The availability of thin-film precursors used in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes is critical for the production of semiconductors and other materials-dependent advanced technologies. Ereztech’s expansion is focused on supporting rapid precursor R&D discovery efforts and efficient production scaling to strengthen the supply chain for anticipated growth in the semiconductor industry.

“We envision our focus on molecular synthesis, along with purification in a controlled manufacturing environment, as fundamental to U.S. efforts to maintain a competitive technology edge,” says CTO Dave Roberts.

Ereztech Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification

January 21, 2021 (Sheboygan Falls, WI) — Ereztech has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for research, development, and manufacturing of organometallics. This underscores Ereztech’s ongoing commitment to quality by satisfying customer requirements and industry specifications through an effective quality management system.

ISO 9001:2015 is the most widely recognized quality management standard developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The standard is based on disciplined adherence to quality management principles, including strong customer focus and engaged management commitment throughout the organization. 

Ereztech’s ISO 9001:2015 certificate was issued by Verisys Registrars, a leading management systems certification body. All activities at Ereztech’s Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin laboratory and John’s Creek, Georgia warehouse are included in the scope of certification. 

“I am very proud of the Ereztech team for their achievement, especially during this time of growth and expansion for our company,” says CEO Roman Rytov. “Our team understands the importance of a strong foundation and our dedication to ISO 9001:2015 accreditation confirms our commitment to quality assurance, reliability, and safety.”

Ereztech Expands U.S. Footprint with New R&D Precursor Lab

Renowned Molecular Chemist Dr. Robert Todd to Oversee New Facility Operation

Ereztech, a leading provider of complete metal-organic solutions to the semiconductor industry, today announced the opening of its new research and development (R&D) lab in Sheboygan Falls,

Wisconsin. The facility will augment the company’s existing Europe-based manufacturing operations by serving as a second source of products for U.S.-based semiconductor materials suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Additionally, it will allow Ereztech to extend its core expertise of synthesis and analysis of air-sensitive metal-organic precursors to additional metal alkyls and hydrides, including pyrophorics, as well as an expanded palladium, platinum and other noble metal offerings.

“This expansion brings our advanced and cost-efficient development capability close to our U.S.-based customers, allowing for not only a broader product selection, but accelerated compound development and >50% reduction in response times,” said Roman Rytov, CEO of Ereztech. “This new facility allows us to foster partnerships and intensify cooperation with our U.S.-based customers to deliver solutions rapidly.”

Dr. Robert Todd, a well-known industry veteran, will lead the new operation. He brings more than 25 years of experience in formulation development and production to the company. At Sigma-Aldrich and ProChem International LLC, Dr. Todd led teams pursuing the synthesis of air-sensitive reagents and homogenous catalyst development for the fine chemicals, pharmaceutical and industrial markets. His expertise, combined with Ereztech’s semiconductor know-how, will allow the company to better serve our customers with a broadened application expertise to address not only leading-edge semiconductor applications but the broader advanced materials and catalysis opportunities.

“My primary focus is on the development of novel homogeneous catalysts, building blocks and reagents that enable energy-efficient and economically sustainable chemical transformations of various compounds,” said Dr. Todd. “I look forward to helping our U.S.-based customers achieve next-generation geometries with their MOCVD and ALD processes leveraging novel materials.”

As semiconductor device geometries continue to shrink, manufacturers are looking for new precursor materials to achieve finer features during deposition processes such as MOCVD and ALD. For almost 10 years, Ereztech has partnered with leading tier-one materials suppliers, OEMs and fabs and foundries on new molecule development and introduction. The company has more than 50 chemists who have developed more than 500 methods of synthesis using reliable and scalable processes to create a product portfolio of more than 800 high-purity compounds.

Ereztech’s 25 Grams™ program for rapid new molecule introduction exemplifies its approach to working with customers and helps set the company apart from other chemical solutions providers. Leveraging its extensive expertise in metal-organic molecules, Ereztech works in close collaboration with customers to perform custom synthesis in multiple trial runs of 25 grams each. Once a 25-gram trial passes customer testing, it is put into production of quantities from 40-100 kilograms.

Ereztech Announces David Roberts as CTO

Organometallics R&D and Manufacturing Company Seeks Greater Market Penetration in Semiconductor, Nanotechnology, Photovoltaics, Optoelectronics & Specialty Chemicals

Ereztech — a company specializing in the research, development, and manufacture of complex metalorganic and inorganic compounds for advanced materials applications has announced that it has named David A Roberts, Ph.D as Chief Technology Officer.

Dr. Robert’s responsibilities will include continuing the development of Ereztech’s current organometallic chemical offering and supporting innovative new applications for the company’s portfolio of over 800 organometallics, and inorganic compounds.

Dave has over 35 years of experience in the design, synthesis, and manufacture of thin film precursors for semiconductor and other high-end applications.

An organometallic chemist by training, early contributions in both the bench and technology management roles at the former Schumacher unit of Air Products resulted in several new products including low temperature dielectrics, e.g., BTBAS and metallization precursors for semiconductor back end applications.  Subsequent roles as Director of Materials in Air Products Electronics group and Corporate Science Center encompassed a broader spectrum of materials related to photoresist ancillaries and battery materials.  Joined Nantero Inc. an advanced memory start up based upon carbon nanotubes in 2009, focusing on dispersion based thin films.

Dave has over 47 patents as well as research publications in the various aspects of design, synthesis, applications, and packaging related predominantly to thin film deposition and etching.

“We are very fortunate to have David Roberts join our team” notes Roman Rytov, CEO at Ereztech.  “With our Russia-based network of over 50 organometallic research chemists, we have the R&D and manufacturing ability to solve very challenging applications of metal-organic frameworks.  That includes our traditional ‘core’ customers needing complex organometallic precursors for advanced semiconductors. Dave’s extensive chemical knowledge and innovative talents will support our focus on the widening opportunities for organometallics in advanced materials”.
