The Semiconductor Industry and NBK

No. ９: Increasing Throughput

No. ９: Increasing Throughput

Here we introduce products that help improve conveying speed and downsize equipment in order to increase throughput.

No. 4: Electron beam and ion

No. 4: Electron beam and ion

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment includes equipment using electron beams and ions.
In Part 4, we introduce non-magnetic products that are ideal for use around such electron beams and ions!

No. 3: Process gas and wafer cleaning agent

No. 3: Process gas and wafer cleaning agent

Process gases (a special kind of gas) and cleaning agents (for removing impurities) are often used in semiconductor manufacturing processes.

No. 1: The Semiconductor Industry and NBK

No. 1: The Semiconductor Industry and NBK

Along with the dramatic worldwide growth of semiconductors, similar development has taken place for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
For many years, NBK has developed and sold products for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
In Part 1, we introduce trends in the semiconductor industry, and describe some interesting efforts by NBK!

No. 6: Thermal Cycling

No. 6: Thermal Cycling

Here we discuss thermal cycling, which is often an issue in semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

No. 8: Preventing Part Fall-out

No. 8: Preventing Part Fall-out

Are you struggling with screw or washer fall-out during equipment assembly or maintenance?
Here we introduce products that can be used to prevent part fall-out.

The Semiconductor Industry and NBK's Initiatives

The Semiconductor Industry and NBK's Initiatives

Here we begin with a description of the industry trends and introduce actual case studies in which we resolved issues for semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufacturers, sorted by equipment, manufacturing process, and environment.

No. 2: Vacuum environments

No. 2: Vacuum environments

Vacuum technology is often used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. A vacuum is not required for all equipment. A vacuum would mainly be required for equipment that uses plasma or an electron beam. In Part 2, we introduce some NBK products that are ideal for use in these vacuum environments!

No. 7: SEMI Standards

No. 7: SEMI Standards

Explains the SEMI standard.
NBK has SEMI standard compliant products, that can be selected according to the application.

No. 5: Solving common problems inside equipment

No. 5: Solving common problems inside equipment

In Part 5, we will introduce NBK products used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment interiors, as well as various examples of the resolution of issues such as vacuum, heat-resistance, isolation and so on.
