Answer Challenges Related to Thermal Efficiency
Reduce Thermal Gradients
Changing temperatures and thermal gradients in wafer tables negatively affects the lithography process and system performance, causing distortion and impacting throughput and accuracy.
Improve Time to Market
Optimizing wafer tables for thermal efficiency and performance with traditional manufacturing methods typically requires multiple design iterations that can negatively affect project timelines.
Lower Cost and Increase Reliability
Increasing wafer table complexity with traditional manufacturing, such as by introducing weld seams, typically results in rising part costs. This also sacrifices part performance and reliability.
Answer Challenges Related to Thermal Efficiency
Reduce Fluid Flow Disturbances
Semiconductor equipment depends on manifolds that must have optimally designed and manufactured fluid channels. Traditional manufacturing methods have abrupt corners and stagnant flow zones that result in turbulence and increased pressure drops.
Minimize Weight and Volume
Traditional manufacturing, based on the geometric limitations of milling and tooling, can lead to the design of manifolds with excess weight and volume, negatively affecting system performance.
Eliminate Fluid Leakage at Connections
The geometric limitations of subtractive manufacturing means that manifolds typically undergo an assembly process that requires connection points prone to failure and leakage.
Create Structurally Optimized and Lightweight Advanced Flexure Designs
Additive manufacturing allows for the structural optimization and light-weighting of advanced flexure designs that reduce weight and minimize vibration to meet the exacting requirements of semiconductor capital equipment. Additionally, multipart assemblies can be replaced with monolithic parts for increased reliability, improved manufacturing, and yield.
With years of application engineering experience in the semiconductor industry, we can help you optimize the structural designs of flexures, advanced motion mechanisms, and components. Additive manufacturing gives designers the flexibility to optimize the structural topology of your part (i.e., lightweighting) with a suite of high-strength metal alloys. These designs can meet the performance requirements of semiconductor capital equipment more precisely, improve the strength-to-weight ratio, and deliver a faster time to market. With our metal additive solutions, you can also avoid traditional complex manufacturing assembly by consolidating several parts into one, which improves yield and reliability and reduces labor and inspection costs.
The Benefits of Metal Additive Manufacturing
Design Flexibility ‘Function over Form’
Additive manufacturing makes it possible to optimally design, rapidly iterate, and manufacture lightweight, topology-optimized flexures much closer to the ideal kinematics required with fewer unwanted degrees of freedom.
High Quality and Accuracy for Clean Room Environments
Our metal additive manufacturing solutions ensure high material quality and part accuracy, producing parts in an inert atmosphere with a steady, ultra-low oxygen level—coupled with proprietary processes for optimal particle cleanliness. This results in metal parts that meet cleanroom requirements and are fit for use in lithography equipment.
Performance and Productivity
Light-weighting semiconductor components and advanced motion mechanisms reduces inertia and improves lithography and wafer processing machine speed and uptime, leading to more wafers processed. Additive manufacturing also delivers structurally optimized flexures with reduced part counts and assemblies. Replacing multipart assemblies with monolithic parts increases reliability, improves manufacturing yield, and reduces labor costs.
Answer Challenges Related to Flexure and Structural Optimization
Reduce Vibration, Hysteresis and Inertia to Improve Cycle Time
Semiconductor capital equipment features fast-moving mechanisms and components, and unnecessary weight can induce vibration, resonance, and inertia into the system, which negatively affects system accuracy and speed.
Optimized Strength-to-Weight Ratios
Reducing flexure weight and vibration requires designs with optimal strength-to-weight ratios to deliver exceptional system performance.
Advanced Flexure Kinematics
Conventional flexures can be bulky and still deviate from the ideal kinematics, resulting in accuracy deviations and crosstalk.
Increase Cooling Efficiency of Linear Stages While Reducing Part Count
By optimizing cooling channels and cooling jackets’ walls thickness, you dramatically improve temperature stability of the fast-moving linear stage. Maintaining encoders’ scale thermal uniformity ensures positioning accuracy and longer-term stability.
