New White Paper: Perfluoroelastomers for the Semiconductor Industry
IES Technical Sales has added a new white paper to its Resources Page, Perfluoroelastomers for the Semiconductor Industry, written by Russ Schnell. Below is an excerpt from the new white paper. View and download the white paper here.
The semiconductor industry, one of today’s major industries, produces integrated circuits (chips) which have found their way into everyday devices from toasters to smartphones to high speed computers. Integrated circuits are expected to perform operations faster and faster while attaining ever higher levels of reliability. As these chips become more complex and powerful the process for their manufacture becomes more complicated. Years ago a chip may have gone through 100 steps as underlying circuits
The WHM WaferHandling Module, developed by Adenso, features a central vacuum chamber and an integrated WHR WaferHandling Robot, optimized for handling substrates/carriers in high vacuum. Our WHM WaferHandling Module operates completely autonomously, is space-saving, and can be easily docked to your existing process stations – your vacuum cluster system is ready to use!
WHR WaferHandling.Robot – the basis for handling and automation
The WHR wafer handling robot is the core of Adenso's modular VAC.ROBOTICS platform. The Adenso WHR handles sensitive and large-area substrates in the field of vacuum robotics (industrial vacbot) and is optimized for maximum payload and long reach. Its simple arm geometry allows for small gate valves and compact handling swivel ranges.

Restoring Production with Precision Wire EDM & Cleanroom Expertise
Solving contamination issues with precision machining and SEMI-certified cleanroom expertise
A new customer approached Innovent in urgent need of precision EDM and CNC machining for a critical component in their FTIR Gas Analyzer system. While their existing supplier met dimensional specifications, they were facing a major challenge, contamination issues that compromised performance and reliability. This was a critical concern, as the component operated under vacuum conditions, requiring an ultra-clean manufacturing process to prevent system failures.
Our engineering team worked closely with the customer to assess their current supply chain issues and quickly identified that their primary obstacle wasn’t dimensional accuracy but cleanliness. With decades of SEMI-certified expertise in precision manufacturing and cleanroom processes, Innovent developed a tailored solution. By leveraging our advanced
