SiSTEM Technology Announces New Partnership with Purience

SiSTEM Technology is pleased to announce a new partnership with Purience, an emerging innovator in semiconductor consumables, now represented by SiSTEM Technology across Europe.

This collaboration strengthens SiSTEM Technology’s offering within wafer processing and semiconductor consumables, giving customers access to advanced solutions for post-CMP cleaning — one of the most critical stages in semiconductor manufacturing.

Introducing Purience

Founded in 2022 as an in-house venture of SK hynix, Purience has quickly established itself as a specialist in semiconductor component localisation, contamination control and supply chain resilience.

With a strong focus on technical innovation and customer-driven development, Purience is committed to delivering high-quality consumables that support both process performance and long-term supply stability.

The company combines:

• Extensive semiconductor process expertise
• Strong R&D infrastructure and academic collaboration
• A growing portfolio of patents and certifications
• A clear vision for supporting the global semiconductor ecosystem

Advanced PVA Brush Technology for Post-CMP Cleaning

At the core of Purience’s offering is its advanced PVA brush technology, developed to address contamination challenges within semiconductor manufacturing environments.

Post-CMP cleaning is a critical process step where even microscopic impurities can impact yield, reliability and overall device performance. Purience’s PVA brushes are engineered to deliver:

• Exceptional impurity removal from wafer surfaces
• Low particle generation and non-scratching performance
• High chemical resistance across common process chemistries
• Controlled pore structures for highly consistent cleaning performance
• High absorption capacity of up to 12–18 times dry weight

These technologies are suitable for a wide range of semiconductor applications including:

• FEOL, MOL and BEOL processes
• Photomask cleaning
• Substrate reclaim
• Advanced thin film applications
• Micro-sensor manufacturing

Innovation Beyond Consumables

Purience’s roadmap extends beyond semiconductor consumables into intelligent process optimisation and smart manufacturing technologies.

The company is actively developing:

• AI-driven lifetime prediction and replacement cycle estimation
• Defect cause analysis technologies
• Integrated monitoring and process optimisation solutions

This positions Purience not simply as a consumables supplier, but as a future-focused partner in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

Strengthening the European Semiconductor Supply Chain

As the semiconductor industry continues to place greater emphasis on supply chain resilience and localisation, this partnership provides European customers with an additional high-quality source for critical semiconductor consumables.

Through SiSTEM Technology, customers benefit from:

• Local technical support and application expertise
• Faster communication and response times
• Access to innovative, high-performance consumables
• A trusted European partner with established semiconductor industry relationships

Looking Ahead

This partnership reflects SiSTEM Technology’s ongoing commitment to working with innovative manufacturers that bring meaningful value to semiconductor manufacturing processes.

As demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing continues to accelerate, ensuring process cleanliness, yield performance and supply reliability has never been more important.

Together, Purience and SiSTEM Technology are well-positioned to support customers across research, development and semiconductor manufacturing environments throughout Europe.
