Why Plastics in Semiconductor Manufacturing?

Ultra-pure engineering plastics are essential to achieving the contamination control targets of advanced node fabrication

Purity & Contamination Control

  • UHP grades with trace-metal content below 1 ppb
  • Minimal particle generation and outgassing
  • Cleanroom compatible to ISO Class 1 (ISO 14644-1)
  • Non-shedding surfaces preserve wafer integrity

Process Compatibility

  • Resistant to HF, H2SO4, HNO3, and other wet etch chemistries
  • Plasma and UV resistant grades available
  • ESD/static dissipative formulations for wafer handling
  • CMP-compatible materials with controlled wear characteristics

Typical Applications

  • Wet bench tanks, carriers, and wafer boats
  • UHP fluid handling: valves, fittings, and tubing
  • CMP retaining rings and pad conditioner components
  • Wafer handling end effectors and vacuum chucks

Technical Capabilities & Quality

Supporting the exacting standards of semiconductor fabrication

UHP Material Sourcing

We source semiconductor-grade stock from leading manufacturers with full lot traceability and certificates of analysis. UHP-grade PVDF, PTFE, PFA, and PEEK are available from stock with documented trace-metal analysis and extractable test data.

Precision Cleanroom Machining

Our CNC machining capabilities produce tight-tolerance semiconductor components from UHP stock materials. Parts can be cleaned, packaged, and delivered to your cleanroom-ready specifications with controlled packaging to prevent recontamination.

Application Engineering

Selecting the right material for semiconductor applications requires balancing purity, chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and cost. Our engineers understand semiconductor process requirements and can help you optimize material selection for your specific application.
