Silicon Etching

Silicon Etching presents Equipment Engineers with challenging PM issues related to the need to clean heavy process induced residue from the etch chamber. Traditional use of Scotch-Brite™ and clean room wipers lead to high post PM particle levels and prolonged equipment downtime.

Foamtec's Vacuum Chamber Cleaning Products make Scotch-Brite™ related particle issues, long scrubbing times and extended down time a thing of the past. In today's ultra competitive environment Device Makers need the highest productivity levels to meet ever tighter cost targets. Foamtec's High Precision PM kits bring lean manufacturing techniques to equipment maintenance.
