Semiconductor production demands a wide range of specialized CNC machined parts for wafer manufacturing, oxidation, photolithography, etching, inspection, and more. These parts vary widely in complexity, size, and materials, and the right CNC equipment and knowledge is critical to manufacture them properly.
Whether you’re new to CNC machining for the semiconductor industry or you’re well-versed in making precision parts for the sector, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Precision is paramount.
For high-level semiconductor manufacturing, super-precise components are required for processes such as uniform chemical application or electrical property inspection. Special high-speed, high-precision machining solutions are often needed to optimize workpiece quality.
Study up on new materials.
The semiconductor manufacturing process uses components made from a wide range of non-metal materials such as ceramics, quartz, polyurethane, and silicone carbide. Each of these materials come with their own unique machining challenges, especially when taking into consideration the tight tolerances demanded by the industry.
Eliminate multiple processes.
To maintain vacuum sealing, components such as semiconductor chamber housings have both complex geometries and tight tolerances. The best machining strategy minimizes multiple part setups to help maximize both precision and productivity.
