Advancements in Wafer Fabrication Equipment Improve Semiconductor Manufacturing

The improvements in wafer fabrication equipment have kept up with the growing industry demands in high precision wafer fabrication. Precision is required to ensure adequate output quality and a low component rejection rate.

Automation has become the norm since it requires minimal manual handling. More so, it is needed to meet stringent requirements which allow fabrication shops to boost their productivity, minimize errors, reduce waste, and prevent additional costs.

Modutek offers fully automated wafer fabrication equipment which provides fully automated control of the wafer fabrication process. It has integrated software such as Modutek's SolidWorks Flow Simulation and SolidWorks Simulation Professional which allow operators to calculate process variables and track chemical usage. Once the process is programmed, the advanced robotics will execute the process steps without intervention or monitoring from the human user. This results in a consistent process environment, increased throughput and increased output quality.

Both the software and the robotics have significantly improved process control, reliability and efficiency. Since a lot of semiconductor suppliers have their own requirements for different kinds of wafer manufacturing, Modutek designs the equipment, assembly and testing, and even the software, to match these specific customer requirements.

The last etch process involves etching the silicon wafer to remove the silicon oxide layer and then drying the cleaned wafer in a drying chamber. At this stage, any contamination can negatively affect later processes and will result to semiconductor components of inferior or defective quality. Modutek's newest product introduces the combination of the last etch (HF) and IPA drying chamber to prevent handling the silicon wafer and thus reduce its chances of contamination.
