Chemraz® seals withstand the plasmas used in cutting-edge deposition and etch wafer processing. ONX® 600 composite components resist harsh chemicals used in semiconductor manufacturing. Our expert solutions include bonding, encapsulation, and coating capabilities for extra protection.
proven experience in Semiconductor applications.
Pioneered Solutions
Greene Tweed pioneered FFKM solutions in semiconductor manufacturing, leading with our extensive selection of Chemraz® FFKM sealing solutions.
ETCHING
Performance Under Pressure
When purity is a must, Greene Tweed offers a range of solutions for the dry etch vacuum environment:- Seals
- O-rings
- E-seals
- Avalon® shields for BSV doors
- Focus rings
- Mechanical fasteners
VALVE SEALS
Improve Sealing Integrity
Having to constantly replace worn out components is expensive and leads to unnecessary downtime. Greene Tweed’s custom semiconductor fabrication valve sealing solutions reduce MTBR (mean time between repair):- Improve sealing integrity and reduce wear with PTFE shields
- Simplify installation and avoid time-consuming O-ring replacement with Bonded Slit Valve Door (BSV) solutions that allow for replacement of a few bolts to complete BSV door assembly
WAFER HANDLING
Turn up the Temperature
Wafer handling applications are subjected to high temperatures and strong acids. Greene Tweed’s ONX® 600, a fluoropolymer-based, carbon-fiber-reinforced composite, is a high-strength, high-purity material built to handle these harsh conditions.Our experts design components like wafer-handling pads (fangs) for robots that transfer wafer during processes like doping, ion implantation, etching, and thin-film deposition to:
- Avoid sticking to the robot blade
- Prevent wafer from flying off the robot blade
- Give high-temperature endurance for hot wafers
- Provide wear resistance on the robot blade
- Reduce sticking with proprietary surface finishes on pads
Electroplating
Boost Semiconductor Production
Enhance performance, extend seal life, and reduce sticking with Greene Tweed sealing solutions.The Enduro™ LF10 is a thin conformal, PTFE-based coating that fortifies components in manufacturing equipment like elastomerics, thermoplastics, or metals.
By maximizing wafer surface, Greene Tweed edge exclusion products let you process more chips.
CHEMRAZ® FFKM
When it Absolutely Can’t Fail, Choose the Premium Elastomer
Do you need an elastomer o-ring or sealing solution built to handle even the most extreme conditions? Chemraz® is Greene Tweed’s highest-performing elastomer and the ultimate FFKM material. With temperature ratings up to 315°C (599°F), nearly universal chemical compatibility, and the broadest chemical resistance of any elastomeric material, Chemraz® is the prime choice for the most challenging semiconductor applications.
O-RINGS & BACKUP RINGS
Seals for Demanding Semiconductor Environments
In environments with high temperatures and harsh chemicals, Greene Tweed O-rings can be used either as a seal itself or as the energizing element in PTFE, cap-type seals. Chemraz® FFKM O-rings and deliver proven performance in semiconductor applications.
ONX® 600
Turn up the Temperature
Able to handle extreme temperatures and corrosive chemicals, ONX® 600 is a high-performance, low-cost composite made for precision engineered components for semiconductor manufacturing.
WAFER HANDLING & CLEANING COMPONENTS
Extreme Temperature and Corrosion Resistance
Greene Tweed’s portfolio offers a range of materials designed for wafer handling and cleaning in volatile environments.Our experts work with you to develop composites or thermoplastic components that deliver superior performance and reliability when compared to standard metallic single wafer and wet clean/etch processing parts.
