DuPont de Nemours S.A. |
DuPont™ Kalrez® Perfluoroelastomer Parts and DuPont™ Vespel® Parts
For Aggressive Semiconductor Environments
Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts have been field-proven in the manufacture of semiconductors where extremes of thermal and chemical exposure are involved and purity is critical to high semiconductor wafer yield. Using Kalrez® parts reduces the risk of contamination from particulates, outgassing and extractables caused by seal deterioration. Very broad chemical resistance coupled with superior high-temperature properties enables Kalrez® parts to withstand virtually any process media, including plasma with various gases at temperatures up to 325°C.
Processors can improve semiconductor seal performance in all wafer-fabricating operations, including thermal, deposition, etching, ashing/stripping, and wet chemical processes. Users of Kalrez® have the assurance of quality and traceability of all parts made at the company's ISO 9001/9002 and AS 9100-registered facilities in the U.S. and Japan. No other high performance seal manufacturer offers this total control over product quality and end-use applications.
DuPont™ Vespel® parts and shapes reduce ownership costs with longer life in the chamber and extended maintenance intervals. And they often cost less right up front. DuPont™ Vespel® parts and shapes come with a documented record of reliability and durability in wafer handling, wafer processing, IC handling and testing and other semiconductor manufacturing operations. The particular wear performance and ultra clean nature of the polymer allows longer life time of wafer contact parts and contamination free operation processes in the Etching area. Vespel® offers a number of great chemical resistance materials that allow excellent wear performance to the retaining ring solutions, providing customers with longer part life and remarkable cost of ownership reduction. For wafer handling and end effectors, the non scratching, ultra low wear performance has made DuPont™ Vespel® a favorite choice of wafer contact material. With newly developed conductive grade, Vespel® offers great solutions to ESD change reduction. Also, a ultra high modulus composite product line offers low deflection wafer handling effectors with vibration damping effect.

Metryx |
Metryx has developed a unique mass metrology technology for
semiconductor manufacturers. Today the technology is in
volume production 200mm and 300mm fabs all over the world.
It is helping to ramp production wafers quicker than at any
other time before and is also helping fabs running at
capacity to make sure their process is running optimally.
This innovative metrology utilises the simplest of
measurement parameters and the very basics of physics –
everything has a mass and undergoes mass change during
process. Characterizing a wafer’s mass with atomic precision
can non-destructively and non-intrusively highlight process
problems quicker than any other form of metrology. It does
this on actual product wafers and at a fraction of the cost
of existing metrology solutions.
