SKTO Promproekt is a Russian company from Zelenograd, which specializes in the creation, reconstruction and technical re-equipment of high-tech industrial enterprises and research centers. The company traces its history to 1964 when in the Research Institute for Molecular Electronics the design bureau was established, which developed clean rooms for research laboratories of the Institute and later of clean production facilities for the Mikron plant. In 1997 as part of the reorganization of the Mikron’s structure, on the base of design bureaus and of the Capital construction department the Construction and engineering department was created. In 2001, the staff of this department formed the core of the new company, SKTO Promproekt. Over the years the company has implemented more than 170 projects for enterprises operating in the field of microelectronics, precision engineering, photovoltaics, photonics, and in research centres. The total area of created facilities has exceeded 1 million sq.m. At the present time SKTO Promproekt operates in partnership with the Plant Engineering Group consortium, which includes companies from Russia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Victor Shevtsov, head of commercial department, told at SEMICON Europa about projects of the company.
What do you understand under the term "turnkey engineering" and what are your goals at SEMICON Europa?
We provide a complete service that includes technological and engineering audit, consulting and investment planning, design, supply and installation of engineering equipment for clean rooms, testing and certification, and also maintenance. Although our company is focused on the domestic market and only Russian customers, we took part in the Russian exposition at SEMICON Europa, because this exhibition is of interest to search for partners in the design and delivery of engineering systems, and to familiarize themselves with market trends and new technical solutions.
Do you supply process equipment?
At the current stage of development of the company we do not supply process and laboratory equipment, although can provide the customer with recommendations for his choice. We create clean rooms and equip them with the necessary engineering systems. Of course, before starting the project we discuss with the customer, what types of equipment will be used, as it affects the provision of clean materials, the cleanliness class and other parameters of the project.
What projects implemented by your company would you highlight?
In the field of microelectronics it is the crystal production for 90 nm VLSI on 200 mm wafers in the Mikron factory in 2011–2012, as well as the production of VLSI and SOC with nodes from 130 to 65 nm on 200 mm wafers in Angstrem-T in 2013–2014. In the field of electronic instrument engineering I would like to note the creation of laser gyros and inertial units production in the Polyus Research and Development Institute and the establishment of production of sensitive elements for MEMS in the CSRI Elektropribor in 2014-2015. Also in the CSRI Elektropribor in 2013-2014 the manufacture of special optical fibers for fiber optic gyros was mastered. Among scientific organizations our major customers are the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, where in 2008 the Centre for priority areas of science and technology development was established, and the Ioffe Institute, where in 2013 the laboratory and manufacturing buildings for new R&D center were built and re-equipped.
Do you cooperate with other engineering companies?
If several organizations are involved in the project at the same time, then we interact with each other. Usually it is cooperation with international companies, because the Russian engineering companies, as a rule, do not participate in the same project. Quite often certain stage is carried out by one organization, and then the customer for whatever reason changes the contractor. We were repeatedly invited to change, modify or continue projects, which have been begun by other companies and, of course, this requires more labor costs than if we starting it from scratch.
What are the advantages of cooperation with a Russian engineering companies?
Compared with international companies, we better know the requirements and peculiarities of the Russian normative acts, which regulates the engineering of industrial objects. If western companies usually must to adapt their solutions to the specifics of Russian legislation, our projects are designed in accordance with the domestic standards. I would like to note that we have experience of successful adaptation of foreign projects and are open for cooperation with Russian and international partners.
