Designed specifically for the rigorous environment of wafer fabrication, our Semiconductor Ceramic Sleeves provide the ultimate barrier against contamination and thermal stress. Whether used in plasma etching or high-temperature diffusion, these sleeves ensure that critical process parameters are maintained without shedding particles or leaching trace metals. By utilizing specialized high-density sintering techniques, we provide components that resist the aggressive chemical attacks of fluorine and chlorine gases, significantly extending the maintenance cycles of the process chamber and ensuring high yields for sensitive node technologies.
Key Features:
Contamination Control: Manufactured with high-purity materials to ensure zero trace-metal interference with silicon wafers.
Plasma Erosion Resistance: Optimized microstructure provides superior longevity in aggressive RF plasma environments.
Vacuum Stability: High-density, non-porous body ensures zero outgassing and maintains hermetic chamber integrity.
Thermal Management: Available in high-thermal-conductivity grades (AlN/SiC) for precise temperature control during processing.
Precision Surface Integrity: Special surface treatments minimize micro-cracks, reducing the risk of particle generation (flaking).
