Semiconductor

Elastomer seals for semiconductor production face incredibly challenging environments – including aggressive plasma chemistries, and extreme temperatures.

PPE material grades have been engineered to offer enhanced performance with reduced particle generation, to minimize yield loss.

We manufacture bespoke components for:

Semiconductor integrated circuits

Flat panel displays (FPD)

Solar cells (crystalline, multi-crystalline, concentrator)

MEMS

LED / OLED

Semiconductor sealing solutions

PPE provides clean room manufactured seals with low particle and low trace metal contamination for minimized yield loss and low chemical erosion rates that offer the following benefits:

More reliable sealing solutions, to keep your process lines more productive and profitable

Integrating PPE materials into your sealing system can reduce unscheduled downtime events to a minimum

Ultra-pure elastomer materials like FKM and FFKM result in cleaner operation, keeping maintenance cost down

Reducing the cost of consumables like seals is a constant pressure, and can be alleviated by more reliable materials.
