Introducing Linx Supply Chain Optimization Service
| To help companies overcome the challenges of being, or aspiring to be a WORLD-CLASS advanced materials supplier, Linx offers innovative insight and solutions to quality management systems requirements. Solutions that drive changes, transforming the perception of quality as a cost center to quality as a differentiator. A differerentiator that your customers are willing to pay for, and can elevate your company from a bulk vendor to a world-class solutions provider.
Why Supply-Chain Optimization?
The current market trend is to push supplier quality into the supply chain. End customers (end-users) are pushing suppliers to avoid costly firefighting by pre-emptively qualifying the supply chain.
As a result, some companies are developing collaborative programs which are firewalled and confidential, while others are demanding more information with an expectation of supplier transparency for the whole supply chain.
To improve quality, suppliers should set up effective audit trails for all sub suppliers. This may lie within the capability of large suppliers, but small and medium size suppliers may not have the expertise to develop acceptable supply change qualification systems.
Linx Consulting Supply Chain Optimization Service
Companies at all levels in the value chain need help in establishing and managing quality systems and the impact of excursions as well as understanding both the scale and the appropriate cost of these systems.
Linx Consulting offers solutions to all participants that are designed to:

Analysis of the Global Metal Organic Deposition Precursor Market
CVD, epitaxial, and ALD deposition of thin films on electronic devices is becoming a critical method of depositing the critical, functional materials needed in high performance devices such as:
- Advan
 ced ICs - HBLEDs
- Compound semiconductors
- Flat panel displays
- MEMS
With the recent growth of HBLEDs and the pending growth of III-V Materials in high mobility channel silicon devices, the demand for MO precursors could skyrocket.
Analysis of the Global Metal Organic Deposition Precursor Market will analyze the markets (with forecasts to 2017) and supply chains for the basic materials, intermediates and most importantly, molecules used in MOCVD, including TMA, TMI, TMG, TEG and dopants as well as detailing the key players, and their respective market shares.
