Semiconductor Processes, Chemical Delivery Blocks, Machining Capabilities

With the flow testing technology and CNC multi machines, we offer Chemical Delivery blocks of precise machining for Semiconductors with quality assurance in each of the blocks which are to be dispensed in millions of cycles and in every piece inclusive of the single channel manifold, the multi-port distribution valve, and the integrated valve control assemblies with flow control design with dependable performance to guarantee chemical purity and low dead volume. We engage in semiconductors ultra-high purification chemical machining, which includes: fluid chamber ultra-precision routered waters with a diameter uniformity of ±0.025 mm; micro-milling of intricate bustling waters with wall thickness of ±0.050 mm; chemical resistant NPT, BSPT, and metric thread milling connections with ±0.015 mm thread pitch accuracy; and expert specialized surface finishing to ensure ultra-high purity and operation particle-free. We also conduct chemical compatibility validations and pressure tests. Each chemical delivery block is manufactured in either PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) which is mechanically robust and broadly chemically compatible; PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is aggressive solvent resistant; PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) has full chemical inertness with optical clarity; and other specialized materials to withstand strong acids and bases like PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) and ultra-pure grade stainless steel 316L with electropolish, or Hastelloy C-276 that can handle hydrofluoric acid with other mixed acid solutions. We guarantee weight change during laboratory chemical immersion and exposure of tests gets sealed < 1.0% in 30 days. And unlike other companies, we promise no He leak rates across the tests, operational pressures between 5 and 150 psi, and operational conditions of temperature between ambient conditions and 150°C.

FAQs: Plasma Etching Chamber Parts for Semiconductor Tools Applications

Chamber parts of plasma etching should contain precision and custom machining of the chamber liner components with dimensional tolerances of ±0.050 mm, electrodes of the chamber having flatness of ±0.025 mm to induce uniform plasma, gas distribution shower heads of 50 to 500 holes to guarantee ±3 percent uniformity of flow and plasma, RF coupling rings for matching value of impedance and micro to nano in range of ±5 percent, and various process kit components (focus rings, edge rings) with matching of thermal expansion to silicon wafers. There are some of these components in the kit that require vacuum sealing of the set, with leak rates below 1×10⁻⁹ torr·L/s, thermal erosion stability with degradation rates on the range of 1 µm of erosion in 1000 working hours, stability with regional thermal cycling of 25°C to 400°C, and generation of particles below 0.01 greater than 0.1 micron particles in series per cm² for exhausting cycles of plasma processing greater than 10,000 cycles will be required, and these parts will also require sit.

Anodized aluminum 6061-T6 has a low density of 2.7 g/cm³, is easy to work with and can achieve a surface finish of 1.6 Ra microns and lower, has a 25 to 50 µm thick anodized plasma resistant coating, and has a thermal conductivity of 167 W/m·K which allows for sufficient heat dissipation. 316L stainless steel has the best vacuum compatibility of the materials with an outgassing rate of less than 1×10⁻⁸ torr·L/s·cm², is cleanroom compatible, has corrosion resistant plasma chemistries, and has a thermal expansion of 16 µm/m·°C. Ceramics, specifically Al2O3 and Y2O3, have the best resistance to plasma erosion with wear rates on the order of 10 to 50 times less than that of metals, can withstand temperatures up to 1500°C, have good dielectric strength which allows for RF isolation, and are inert to fluorine and chlorine containing plasma chemistries.

Through 5 axis CNC milling, gas chambers with complex geometrical shapes are achieved with a tolerance of ± 0.025 mm. Also, gas distribution holes are drilled precisely with a diameter deviation of ± 0.025 mm and a positional deviation of ± 0.050 mm. High speed rotary cnc machining provides with chamber parts with a diameter of 1.6 Ra microns. Vacuum sealing threads with 2B class tolerance are produced by thread milling. Wire EDM processes are able to cut in a tolerance of ± 0.01 mm to make intricate designs in cooling channels of electrodes and is the finish technology. EDM is best to make pieces with a diameter of 300 mm. Depth of O-ring grooves is achieved with a deviation of ± 0.050 mm and the surface finish also is 0.8 Ra microns which is best for good sealing of chambers.

The tolerances we maintain for chambers are: flatness at ±0.025 mm for even plasma gaps, gas hole diameters at ±0.025 mm for flow uniformity within ±3% for O-ring grooves with depth tolerances of ±0.050 mm, for leak rates >1×10⁻⁹ torr·L/s, electrode parallelism at ±0.050 mm for reliable RF coupling, mounting hole position at ±0.075 mm, a surface finish of 0.8 to 3.2 Ra microns for plasma resistance, and overall ±0.100 mm. These tolerances support plasma uniformity with etch rates that have a deviation of less than ±5% for the entire wafer, vacuum integrity with base pressures of less than 1×10⁻⁷ torr, thermal cycling stability from room to 400°C, and a life expectancy of 10,000 RF hours.
