Mr. Kazuo Komoriya, general manager and Mr. Kenichi Inoue, sales account manager, accepted the award on behalf of Nitta Haas. The award recognized Nitta Haas' value analysis activities, which contributed to the company receiving this strong customer recognition. Toshiba presented the award to Nitta Haas in a ceremony that took place in January. Dow and Nitta Haas serve the semiconductor and related industries with leading edge technology that supports the advancement of device shrinks and increased power for semiconductor devices. For CMP, the company offers materials for planarizing and polishing semiconductors, silicon wafers and storage media including hard and soft pads and unique slurries.
