The capital manufacturer developed and launched serial production of an electrostatic table for holding wafers, which is used in vacuum systems during the manufacture of microchips, chips, and processors.
Consensus
- The Moscow-based company 'ESTO' developed and launched serial production of electrostatic tables.
- The tables are used in vacuum systems for manufacturing semiconductors, chips, and processors.
- The devices enable contactless holding of wafers, preventing mechanical damage and surface contamination.
- The project was implemented with support from the Moscow Fund for Industrial and Entrepreneurship Support (MFPPiP).
- The production of these tables was previously not available in Russia.
- The product is available both as part of ESTO's own equipment and for integration into technological lines across the country.
- MFPPiP provided interest rate compensation on an investment loan to support the project.
- The funds were used to reconstruct the industrial facility and establish cleanroom laboratories.
- Additional funds were allocated for purchasing equipment for electronic components, printed circuit boards, mechanical processing, and specialized operations including orbital and diffusion welding.
- The company has expanded its workforce, with over 120 specialists in design, technology, programming, and electronics.
- The company has established its own service unit for equipment commissioning, technology validation, and maintenance.
