Semiconductors, also known as microchips, power the modern world. Everything from smartphones to medical devices depends on semiconductors, and the semiconductor industry continues to grow. Companies that manufacture semiconductors must use materials that are strong, lightweight, have high dielectric strength, and are corrosion-resistant; and that’s where thermoset composites come into play. Atlas Fibre has North America’s largest inventory of thermoset composite materials ideal for use in the production of semiconductors.
The materials used to produce semiconductors must withstand the shaping and cutting process and resist corrosion due to chemical or moisture exposure. As manufacturing processes become more complex and as feature sizes become smaller, materials used must rise to the challenge of enabling the next generation of semiconductors.
Thermoset composites are strong, meaning they can withstand the force and pressure a semiconductor experiences during the shaping process. The material’s strength also makes it ideal for use in high-end applications like semiconductors.
Today’s devices need to be energy-efficient and compact. No one wants a bulky smartphone or laptop that burns through battery life. The light weight of thermoset composites makes them suitable for use in semiconductors.
Semiconductors must be made from a material that resists corrosion — degradation due to exposure to oxygen or other chemicals. Thermoset composites are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal semiconductor materials.
A thermoset composite’s strength and corrosion resistance enhances its durability. This property makes semiconductor components more likely to survive long-term.
Multiple options are available for semiconductor manufacturers. Thermoset materials include phenolic or epoxy resin, which can be pressed into sheets or formed into other shapes based on your needs.
Thermoset composites are vital in maintaining the integrity of high vacuum environments and preventing contamination risks that could compromise product quality and performance.
In semiconductor manufacturing, precision and reliability are paramount. Alas Fibre is at the forefront of precision plastic machining, offering tailored solutions designed to meet the unique needs of semiconductor companies. Discover five reasons that leading companies in the industry choose Atlas Fibre as their trusted partner for fabricated thermoset plastic parts.
