YES

For over 40 years, YES (Yield Engineering Systems, Inc.) has been at the leading edge of material modification and surface enhancement solutions. Starting out as a small, R&D-focused company making lab tools, YES has transformed itself into a trusted manufacturer of extremely reliable, high-value, high-volume manufacturing processing equipment. Energized by a new executive team, we are building upon our decades of learning and our long-standing reputation for reliability and technical expertise. Our systems and technical solutions are the preferred choice in multiple growing high-tech markets including semiconductor, display, and life sciences – and by several of the world’s best and most innovative companies.

To create the next wave of technology advances, our customers must transform the materials and surfaces used in their products by implementing novel clean, coat, and cure process steps. These transformations not only make new products possible, they also improve manufacturability – allowing engineering breakthroughs to become production realities. YES is committed to developing innovative materials and surface technology solutions that add the greatest value to our customers’ manufacturing processes by lowering their cost, increasing yield, and maximizing reliability. We provide a broad portfolio of industry-leading, production-proven solutions to meet these challenges.

Our curing systems, which include YES’s flagship Verta™ family, use vacuum technology to outgas solvents thoroughly and strengthen bonds, providing superior reliability in just half the time of atmospheric cure. Our coating systems – EcoCoat™ and the automated UltraCoat™ – transform substrates by depositing a layer just one molecule thick to make the surface hydrophobic (such as for microfluidic applications), or adhesive (to hold semiconductor photoresist, optical film, or DNA for genetic sequencing). Our cleaning technologies include wet processes such as wet etch and wet clean, as well as gentle and aggressive plasma treatment. In addition, we offer systems for edge film removal, formic acid reflow, and both electroless (autocatalytic) and electrolytic plating.

Headquartered in a state-of-the-art facility located in Fremont, California, with a growing global presence, YES is positioned to be where our customers need us. By delivering scalability, performance, reliability, and trust to our partners worldwide, we are committed to enabling them to create the leading-edge products that will drive the next generation of technology breakthroughs – from cellphones and IoT devices to AI and virtual reality, to diagnostic testing and genetic sequencing – that will power the future.
