Quality is at the heart of our high-end product manufacturing. But how can you ensure zero defects in the production of vacuum capacitors where optical inspection is no longer enough? For the Comet PCT team, focused on the manufacturing of sub-systems for plasma control in the semiconductor industry, the answer was not far away: Our own X-ray inspection solutions were at hand. Thanks to a dynamic cross-divisional partnership with Comet Yxlon and Comet X-ray, the team elevated our standards of production and teamwork. A success story we share with you.

At Semicon Taiwan, one of Asia's premier semiconductor events, stakeholders all over the global microelectronics industry got together. With over 3’000 booths, it was the biggest edition to date. Surrounded by a highly engaged audience, Comet’s local team seized the opportunity to showcase our company’s latest innovations and strengthen sustainable relationships with our partners.

Semicon China, having taken place June 29th until July 1st in Shanghai, is one of the largest events for the semiconductor industry in Asia. With our advanced solutions for plasma processing and X-ray inspection, the Comet team reaffirmed its commitment to seamless integration and comprehensive solutions to meet diverse customer needs in China.

Semicon West, a vital event in the semiconductor and electronics industry, provides us with a valuable platform to connect with pioneers of digitalization. Following the theme of “Building a Path Forward”, our teams will be present as industry experts at booth #533, offering expertise in RF Power-based processes in semiconductor manufacturing, as well as X-ray and CT for semi/electronics. We understand the challenges of our customers and are committed to collaborating for innovation.

In 2023, not only Comet is celebrating its 75th anniversary, but it’s also been 75 years since the invention of the transistor. These two milestones mark significant turning points in the history of technology and innovation. Transistors, one of the most pivotal inventions of all time, have enabled the functionality of countless devices that shape the modern world, including Comet’s technologies. In retribution, Comet develops products enabling technological progress in the area of semiconductor manufacturing. To celebrate that, we asked our team to share their story.

At this weekend’s «6h de Fribourg» event, six Comet apprentices proved their passion for innovation and sustainability. In a race with 21 other teams, they accumulated 11,292 laps with their hydrogen model cars, which corresponds to 960 kilometers and only 462 grams of hydrogen. As a sponsor and employer, Comet is proud to support this exciting learning experience that puts multidisciplinary collaboration at the center of real-world science and engineering projects.

Under the motto "Forward as one" SEMICON Korea took place from February 1 - 3 in Seoul. The exhibition has established itself as a must thanks to the continuous growth of the Korean semiconductor industry. We could not miss it.

You’ve been many joining our group-wide initiative to connect schools all over the world to the internet. After being online for a month, our mini game has been played more than 3000 times, the high scores getting higher and higher. We’re now converting these scores in to a donation for Unicef’s Giga initiative.
