Critical Needs
The “micro-electronics” industries,
including hybrid circuits,
micro-electro-optic devices and other
“micro-circuitry”, as well as “macro”
semiconductor and crystal devices, are only
slightly less sensitive to contamination
than the semiconductor industry itself, and
have critical processing requirements very
similar to those of
precision optical processing.
Elimination of trace contaminants, in some
cases in the form of ionic “materials
contamination” but more typically very
small, and even sub-micron particle
contamination, is critical to successful
material preparation, metallization,
photolithography, and packaging processes.
Cleaning Better
Throughout our lengthy history in this
industry, we have developed high-purity
systems for de-fluxing, etching,
photolithography, and critical cleaning of
ceramics and a variety of electronic
materials. Our systems are available with
full HEPA enclosures, in some cases avoiding
the need for entire cleanrooms. The Soniscan®
line, with built-in hot DI water
recirculation, and patented HEPA-filtered
MD-250
evaporative dryers, delivers unsurpassed
levels of contamination elimination and
control, without damage to surfaces.
For Less $$––
Better yet, the technology that delivers
this enhanced contamination control actually
reduces operating costs by reusing nearly
all of the energy and media resources.
Interlab equipment frequently pays for
itself entirely through reduced operating
costs in relation to the processes it
replaces. Systems available can be as simple
as
hot DI recirculation “sinks”, or HEPA-filtered
dryers, or the most sophisticated, fully
automated standard and custom processing
systems.
