Entegris is pushing their Mo precursors for advanced node metallization. "Molybdenum (Mo) is a promising metal for contacts and local interconnects because it offers a combination of low resistivity, high melting point, excellent thermal and chemical stability, and good electromigration resistance. It also is barrierless. This makes molybdenum well suited for advanced nodes, where traditional materials like Cu and W face scaling limitations."

How can Asia turn 🌱🛒 green procurement from ambition into action? It starts with people and the skills behind the system. Today’s webinar focused on moving beyond one-off trainings toward building a 💼 professional, skilled workforce that can deliver sustainable public procurement in practice. 🗣️ Key takeaways @switchasia @EU_Partnerships @OECD @ITCILO @Sustainabl28594
