Problem
Semiconductor manufacturers face limited throughput and high total cost of ownership with existing advanced packaging equipment, constraining the ability to scale production of high‑performance chips, wafers, panels, and substrates.
Solution
Samba develops next‑generation advanced packaging tools—including etch, physical vapor deposition (PVD), and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems—that deliver more than double the productivity and cost‑of‑ownership advantage of traditional equipment. By integrating high‑precision process control, rapid cycle times, and modular hardware designs, Samba’s platforms enable manufacturers to increase output while reducing capital and operational expenses. The company’s flagship Valentis Etch system exemplifies this approach, offering >2× productivity gains for critical etching steps. Samba’s equipment is engineered for seamless integration into existing fab lines, supporting faster time‑to‑market for new semiconductor technologies.
