Plastic material solutions for the semiconductor industry

Of all the industries in which engineering plastics can help engineers solve design problems, none is more challenging than the semiconductor industry. Our semiconductor industry plastics are designed with the industry's often rigid and demanding environmental concerns in mind. In addition to this, our semiconductor industry specialists work directly with engineers to understand the unique challenges associated with every aspect of the semiconductor manufacturing process - from the beginning of the wafer processing cycle, through chip processing and handling, to packaging. 

Each stage of the process offers its own set of difficulties, from extremely high temperatures, to exposure to highly aggressive chemicals, contact with abrasive solvents and environments of plasma under a vacuum. Ensinger has a plastic semiconductor solution to suit every environment and meets the strictest requirements for design and machining tolerance, outgassing, and contamination specifications. Our design solutions cost less than traditional materials, such as ceramics or quartz, and are generally much easier to work with.
