How Customized Equipment Has Improved the Silicon Wafer Cleaning Process

Specific customer requirements or unusual process characteristics may require the use of customized systems or components. In order to support these kinds of projects, suppliers must have extensive in-house expertise as well as a broad range the silicon wafer cleaning equipment to offer custom solutions.

Modutek has extensive in-house expertise and provides a full line of silicon wafer cleaning equipment to meet customer needs. This can improve throughput, lower costs, and result in higher output quality and yield.

Modutek's SolidWorks Simulation Professional and SolidWorks Flow Simulation software allow customers to calculate precise chemical doses as well as monitor on chemical usage. Modutek writes and develops their own software so that the company can make the necessary adjustments and implement software customization whenever the client requires it.

This means that the client can use software that is modified to their own customized systems rather than trying to operate a custom system with standard software. The great thing about Modutek's software is that it can be tailored to make accurate control and monitoring even for the most customized installations.

There are several types of custom-fit equipment that is incorporated within a wafer cleaning installation. These can include the following:

·         Megasonic Systems

·         Quartz Baths

·         Teflon tanks

·         Other custom equipment

Modutek can also provide customized versions of these components to fit any new or existing wet process system to optimize the silicon wafer cleaning process.

Modutek also develops custom wet bench designs based on the certain process specifications – the software, the chemical delivery system, baths a, d wafer handling. They need to all fit together to satisfy the process requirements.

The silicon wafer cleaning processes can be also customized at the component or system level, but they can also feature customized levels of automation. There is the standard manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic systems but there is also a possibility of “special” systems, e.g., customers may want a manual system but at the same time, they also want certain process sub-steps to be run automatically.
