Taiwan has the world's most complete semiconductor supply chain and industry clusters. The supply chain works closely together and can be divided into two major segments. The first segment is the semiconductor production supply chain, which includes wafer design, packaging, and testing; the second segment is the semiconductor equipment supply chain, which provides equipment and raw materials for production, testing, and packaging. BLIKSEN belongs to the second segment of the semiconductor equipment supply chain.
BLIKSEN has years of experience manufacturing enclosures, frames, and parts for semiconductor equipment. This article will share which material is most commonly used for assembling semiconductor equipment so that high-precision equipment is able to function reliably.
In semiconductor equipment, carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum are common metal materials. However, most semiconductor equipment uses stainless steel for customizing frames, enclosures, and parts to improve quality and cleanliness. Here are some characteristics and uses of stainless steel, making it a popular material for high-precision equipment.
Stainless Steel Introduction
Stainless steel is an alloy steel primarily composed of Fe. In recent years, it has gained popularity rapidly and is now used in a wide range of products. The main characteristics of stainless steel are corrosion resistance, processability, heat resistance, and tensile strength.
The stainless steel materials used by BLIKSEN are plates and pipe fittings, primarily SUS304, SUS316, and SUS430. Laser cutting, bending, welding, and surface treatment are used to produce semiconductor equipment for customers.
BLIKSEN Stainless Steel Product Types
The following are two main types of stainless steel semiconductor sheet metal that BLIKSEN produces:
Cover / Frame
In semiconductor equipment sheet metal, the frame is the most important component. When designing and manufacturing the base/frame of the equipment, it should take into account what supports it and what is placed on top of it. Stainless steel is a strong material. It can be strengthened by pipe fittings、welding angles, channels, and H-beams. Furthermore, it is crucial to control the amount of deformation during welding, so proficient welding skills are essential.
Parts / Door panel
The appearance of semiconductor equipment parts must meet very strict quality standards, so surface treatment specifications and cleaning requirements are carefully followed. Semiconductor parts require high precision for assembly. Just as with covers and frames, the degree of deformation and precision is extremely important after welding.
