Compound Development

The development of polymer materials blends the understanding of material science, chemistry and semiconductor process knowledge with the art of balancing a wide range of performance characteristics, to produce the optimum material for different processes, system location and end user product complexity.

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions semiconductor material experts are located in our manufacturing facilities and R&D centers globally. Constantly keeping ahead of new developments in thermoplastic and elastomer technology, they ensure that we can offer the most appropriate material for any application, however demanding.

Materials are selected and developed to ensure:

• Optimum performance based on process chemistry, temperature, specific hardware location, proximity to the substrate, device type being manufactured and technology node
• Optimization for a balance of performance, processability and component life
• Maximized material performance to provide longer life, lower friction, operation at higher temperatures
• Suitability for robust, high quality manufacturing

Of particular performance to the semiconductor industry are Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) materials. With decades of experience in this key material, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions offers a focused portfolio of Isolast® PureFab™ FFKM compounds offering unique properties such as high purity, excellent plasma resistance and ultra-low out-gassing.
