Find the Right Wafer Fabrication Equipment for Your Application

Whether manufacturing solar panels or semiconductors, for commercial, medical or military use, it's imperative to buy the right wafer fabrication equipment for your wet bench processing applications. Manufacturers need to consider these five factors when selecting a reliable wet bench:
·         High quality control standards and safety
·         Custom fabrication options
·         Wafer size and production volumes
·         A full service vendor
·         A vendor with a wide product selection
Modutek manufactures and supplies custom wafer fabrication equipment that comes in three different categories:
·         Manual wet benches - economical but efficient in your clean room applications.
·         Semi-automated wet benches - incorporated with servo motor automated robots and touch screen controls.
·         Fully-automated wet benches - enjoy a hands-off approach with Modutek's wet process stations.

Modutek has 30-plus years experience in supplying wet process equipment to industry. Our certified specialists are ready to work with you from the initial design to final installation, and also provide future assistance and service repairs.

How SC1 Clean is Supported in a Wet Bench Process

Before the high-temperature processing of silicon wafers, they first undergo Simple Clean 1 (SC1 Clean) processing, which is the first step of the RCA Clean. The SC1 Clean is a solution that removes organic impurities that attached to silicon and is typically made up of 5 parts deionized water, 1 part H2O2 and 1 part NH4OH.  

The procedure begins by mixing the deionized water and NH4OH at about 75°C. Then H2O2 is added and the mixture is allowed to bubble vigorously before using. The silicon wafer is then rinsed in a new batch of deionized water to clean off the solution.

Modutek's cutting-edge precision megasonic cleaning system is able to meet your demands for the high-precision cleaning technology. The system includes:
·         Automatic frequency tracking system
·         High efficiency generator
·         Upper and lower limit controls
·         Available frequencies: 950kHz, 2MHz, 750kHz, 430kHz and 200kHz
