Highest Purity for contamination-free Chip Production

The demand for ever more, ever more compact and ever more powerful microchips is growing continuously. This also increases the demands on process conditions and air purity. The production of microchips and other electronic components is technically complex and extremely cost-intensive. To minimize the costs per component, it is important to optimally coordinate all individual processes and minimize the reject rate. Pure and high-purity process conditions make a decisive contribution to this. As one of the innovation and quality leaders in the field of contamination control and cleanroom technology, we offer proven components and economical comprehensive solutions.

Specific Requirements

Semiconductor production takes place in several hundred manufacturing steps, starting with the frontend (including lithography, etching, coating) through to the backend and packaging. These take place under cleanroom conditions continuously, but require different cleanroom classes. To ensure that the electrical circuits are operating permanently without trouble, attention must be paid to compliance with the required cleanliness and process conditions right from the production of the high-purity silicon wafers and the necessary process chemicals. This reliably protects production from airborne particles and molecular contamination. Depending on the process step and requirements, cleanroom conditions from cleanroom class ISO 8 to ISO 1 are needed.
