Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to create the integrated circuits that are ever present in everyday electrical and electronic devices. It is a step by step sequence of photolithographic and chemical processing during which electronic circuits are gradually created on a wafer made of pure semiconducting material. Silicon is frequently used in the process, but various compound semiconductors are required for specialized applications.
High vacuum valves are in the exhaust pipe of the process chamber. In addition, ultra-pure gas valves are used to direct the gases into the process chamber.
In order to optimise the processes, the temperatures of the individual chambers (especially the process chamber) are precisely controlled. Process valves, flow switches, pressure regulators and pressure switches are used for this purpose.
Cooling and temperature control units are used to precisely control the different chambers.
Exhaust line: Transfer chamber & Load-lock chamber: High vacuum valves are located in the exhaust pipe of the transfer chamber.
Regulators, flow switches, filters and vent valves are used to smoothly ventilate the transfer chamber. This avoids turbulence, which could cause particles to swirl.
Most semiconductor chips are laser marked, providing permanent, reliable and attractive markings in fractions of a second. Before packaging, silicon semiconductor wafers are identified using highly controlled lasers to avoid damaging the properties of the wafer.
In order to achieve optimal and consistent results, the temperature of the laser and optics are precisely controlled. Process valves, flow switches, pressure switches and regulators are used for accurate measurement and reading.
Thermo-chiller or thermo-con devices are used to precisely control the temperature of the laser and optics. See our range of chillers here:
