Semiconductor Industry

The semiconductor industry is the most critical industry of our time. Nearly all electronic devices surrounding us—from smartphones to medical equipment—rely on technologies developed within this field.

 

At the core of it all is the semiconductor material itself—whose electrical conductivity lies between that of a conductor like copper and an insulator like glass. To precisely control and manipulate this conductivity, manufacturing must take place in ultra-clean, high-vacuum environments.

 

Given the complexity of processes and global supply chains, the semiconductor industry is generally divided into upstream (materials and design), midstream (fabrication), and downstream (packaging and testing) sectors. Vacuum technology plays a crucial role in the midstream fabrication stage, particularly in foundries.

 

During manufacturing, vacuum components are integral to critical systems such as:

  • Thin film deposition

  • Dry etching

  • Diffusion

  • Ion implantation

  • ...and more.

These systems demand exceptional vacuum integrity, precision, and reliability to ensure process stability and product yield.
