SEMICONDUCTORS

Innovative materials for semiconductor applications

NEXA XFluor® perfluoroelastomers for semiconductor applications are engineered to reduce contamination and guarantee longer seal life in aggressive wafer manufacturing environments.

The success of NEXA XFluor® has been field-proven in the manufacture of semiconductors, where processing steps require: high purity, reduced contamination for particulates, resistance to both thermal and chemical exposure that could cause seal deterioration. With NEXA XFluor®, manufacturers gain seal integrity, process purity and, ultimately, high semiconductor wafer yield.

Chemical resistance that is nearly universal, coupled with superior high-temperature properties, enables NEXA XFluor® parts to withstand virtually any process media, including plasma with various gases at temperatures up to 345°C (653F).

By selecting the NEXA XFluor® part that is best suited to a specific application, processors can improve seal performance in all wafer-fabricating operations including thermal, gas deposition, plasma etching and ashing, and wet chemical systems.

NEXA R&Ds latest achievement consists in an innovative chemical resistant perfluoroelastomer filled with a special semi-crystalline perfluoropolymer filler that allows the manufacturing of translucent items with excellent properties.

Some of its unique properties:

  • Excellent final properties without using any metal reinforcing and/or carbon based fillers
  • High purity
  • Outstanding resistance to aggressive chemicals
  • Outstanding resistance to high temperature conditions
  • Outstanding steam resistance
  • Outstanding compression-set even at very high temperatures
 
All NEXA XFluor® parts for semiconductor applications are UltraPure post-cleaned and packaged in a ISO 6 (Class 1000) clean room for reduced contamination.
