ESC Design and Repair

Applications in Semiconductor Processes and LCD Panel Displays

ESC are used to secure wafers during semiconductor manufacturing and to hold glass panels in the display industry.
Key advantages include:

  • Particle-Free Operation: Eliminates mechanical clamping, reducing particle contamination and enhancing process cleanliness.
  • Uniform Clamping Force: Ensures wafer flatness and improves processing accuracy.
  • Vacuum Compatibility: Suitable for applications such as Glass Adhesion, Etching, PVD, and Ion Implantation.

Types of Electrostatic Chucks (ESC)

Based on Clamping Mechanism

  • Coulomb Type: A high voltage is applied to polarize the dielectric layer, generating electrostatic force to hold the workpiece.
  • Johnsen-Rahbek (JR) Type: The dielectric layer is doped with a conductive medium, allowing stronger clamping force at lower voltage.
  • Gradient Force Type: Uses interleaved electrodes to create a non-uniform electric field, enhancing adsorption performance.

Materials

  • Ceramic: Long lifetime, higher cost.
  • Polyimide (PI): High temperature and chemical resistance, suitable for extreme environments.

Types of Heaters

  • Ceramic Heaters: Heating elements and electrodes are embedded into a ceramic substrate, providing stable temperature control.
  • PI-Type Heaters: Flexible design with high-temperature resistance (from -200°C to 180°C), uniform heating, suitable for equipment with complex shapes.

Surface Treatment

K-MAX offers a diverse range of surface treatment techniques to meet the needs of various industries and applications. Our main processes include:

Sandblasting

Process Overview

Sandblasting uses high-speed airflow to propel abrasive particles against a material’s surface. This process improves surface roughness and adhesion, removes oxidation layers, contaminants, or old coatings, and can also be used to create specific surface patterns. Additionally, sandblasting enhances surface texture to improve the adhesion of subsequent coatings or plating.

Applications

  • Creating unique surface patterns
  • Cleaning and rust removal from metal surfaces
  • Removing old paint or coatings
  • Increasing surface roughness to enhance coating adhesion

Our Strengths

We are equipped with advanced automated sandblasting equipment and supported by an experienced technical team. This allows us to provide optimal solutions tailored to different materials and requirements, ensuring high-quality and efficient surface treatment.

Polishing

Process Overview

Polishing is a technique that uses mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical methods to smooth the surface of materials, reducing roughness and enhancing gloss. This process not only improves the appearance of the material but also increases its corrosion resistance.

Applications

  • Suitable for materials such as metal, plastic, ceramic, quartz, silicon, and silicon carbide
  • Products requiring high gloss, such as semiconductor etching components, electronic device housings, and decorative parts

Our Strengths

We are equipped with a wide range of professional polishing equipment and technologies. Our precision polishing services are tailored to different materials, ensuring high-quality surface gloss and flatness for each product.

Anodizing

Process Overview

Anodizing is an electrochemical oxidation process that forms a protective oxide layer on the surface of metal materials, enhancing corrosion resistance, wear resistance, hardness, and aesthetic appearance. This technique is especially suitable for aluminum and its alloys.

Applications

  • Insulating components used in semiconductor equipment
  • Aluminum parts in aerospace, automotive, and electronic products
  • Provides both protective and decorative functions

Our Strengths

We utilize advanced anodizing technologies, offering both sulfuric acid and oxalic acid anodizing processes. We ensure uniformity and stability of the oxide layer and provide specialized insulation sealing techniques to meet a wide range of customer requirements.

Ceramic Coating

Process Overview

Ceramic coating is a type of thermal spray technology in which ceramic materials (such as Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃) are melted at high temperatures and sprayed onto the surface of a substrate at high velocity. The result is a coating with high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and strong heat resistance.

Applications

  • Insulating and plasma-resistant components inside semiconductor equipment
  • Turbine blades and automotive parts
  • Components requiring wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, or electrical insulation

Our Advantages

We are equipped with advanced ceramic coating equipment and technologies, offering high-quality coatings using materials such as Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃ based on customer requirements. Our coatings significantly enhance product performance and service life.
