Get to Know Modutek Corporation

If you don’t know much about Modutek Corporation or what we do, we’d like to give you an abbreviated history to help you get to know us a little better.

Modutek Corporation was founded in 1980 to manufacture wet process equipment components for the Semiconductor industry. During the past 30 plus years, we have expanded our specialties to include nitride etch baths and rinsing systems, sub-ambient filtration systems and high temperature quartz heated baths. Although we originally marketed to both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the end users who purchased wet process stations.

The impact of semiconductor manufacturing on the environment came to the forefront of many in the industry during the 1990s. Modutek became proactive and purchased Shannon Engineering and then created a new environmental group called Pollution Control Laboratories (PCL), run as a Modutek Corporation subsidiary. The group manufactured acid neutralization systems, chemical delivery systems and air scrubbers. By the end of the 90s, however, the subsidiary was dropped and all systems manufactured by it were manufactured as Modutek products.

Modutek continued to expand both its acquisitions and the wet process equipment it manufactured throughout the coming years. The Vacuum Etch System (VES) and Spin Process System (SPS) were added in 2002 when Modutek acquired Sysmax, Inc. These unique systems were manufactured as a subsidiary for two years and then they were moved under the Modutek Corporation, as well.

Since 2000, the semiconductor wet process equipment manufacturing and Tech industry have undergone some downturns. Many of the processes developed and manufactured for OEM wet process bench manufacturers are now used in other Tech industries. This enabled Modutek to expand and begin offering turnkey bench manufacturing operations.

We are proud of our working relationships with existing and new customers. Together, we have been able to develop the wet process equipment they need. Some of these include the IPA vapor dryer, Ozone Cleaning process and Megasonic cleaning technology. If your business needs a clean room, facilities upgrade or specific wet process equipment, we would like to show you how we can meet your needs.
