Essential high-purity sealing materials for semiconductor manufacturing

Contamination substantially reduces product yield in semiconductor manufacturing, which is why it is essential that ultrapure elastomer materials are used for seals required by various processes employed to make electronic devices, as Precision Polymer Engineering Ltd explains in this brief article. The firm, which develops high-performance O-rings, technical rubber mouldings and sealing products, and supplies them to a diverse range of industries worldwide, also discusses the elastomer seal materials and technology it has developed specifically for the semiconductor industry.
