Back Semiconductor Manufacturing and Applications (High Purity & Ultra High Purity)
The increasing demands for digitalization and intellectualization have been accelerating the development of the semiconductor industry. In the semiconductor process, valves and fittings are the extremly common and critical components and are widely used in the entire semiconductor manufacturing system --- both in core equipment such as lithography, PVD, CVD, etching machines, and in the wafer fabrication process as well as in piping systems of semiconductor facility.
As a global leading supplier of valves and fittings, FITOK can provide one-stop solutions for fluid systems in the semiconductor industry, from ultra high purity components such as valves, fittings and tubing to integrated systems, and from system design to installation site service. By strictly controlling the entire production process from raw material selection to processing, cleaning, welding, assembling and testing, FITOK can provide the semiconductor industry with ultra clean, ultra reliable and corrosion resistant valves, fittings.
Product Features
Process cleanliness is one of the top concerns in the semiconductor industry, and the material purity of fluid system components is critical to achieving the required process cleanliness.
FITOK has customized 316 SS, 316L SS VAR or 316L SS VIM-VAR as the valve body material meeting SEMI F20 standard for semiconductor industry applications. As a commonly used material for high purity (HP) and ultra high purity (UHP) products, AISI 316L (UNS S3160) stainless steel has excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance. 316L VAR and 316L VIM-VAR are refined in a special way to reduce non-metallic inclusions and further enhance the material purity.
Cobalt Alloy
FITOK adopts cobalt alloy complying with AMS 5876 standard or Hastelloy complying with ASTM B575 standard as diaphragm material to achieve high corrosion resistance and excellent durability.
316L VIM-VAR
1.Electropolishing
The internal surface of ultra high purity products for the semiconductor industry is electropolished to improve the smoothness of the flow path and to form a chromium-rich layer on the metal surface to improve corrosion resistance, and the electropolished products are passivated to remove free iron ions. After electropolishing, the following testing standards can be achieved:
| Test Item | Test Standard | |
| Oxide layer thickness | SEMI F72 | |
| Surface defect analysis | max. defect counts per area within 5 sample areas | SEMI F73 |
| Cr/Fe | SEMI F60 | |
| CrO/FeO | ||
| Surface roughness (Ra) | SEMI F37 | |
2.Cleaning
Ultra high purity products for the semiconductor industry are rinsed with ultrasonic DI water in the NEBB-certified ISO 5 cleanroom and dried in an enclosed oven. The technical specifications of the DI water comply with SEMI E49 standard.
3.Welding, Assembly, Testing and Packaging
Cleaned products are welded, assembled, tested, inspected and packaged in the NEBB-certified ISO 4 cleanroom. Products are subject to helium leak test as required by SEMI F1 and product packaging complies with SEMI E49 standard. Products are end-capped and double bagged with inner vacuum-sealed clean polyethylene bag and outer polyethylene bag.
