SiC Robot Arm

Semicorex SiC Robot Arm is a cutting-edge silicon carbide ceramic robotic arm designed to meet the rigorous demands of semiconductor manufacturing. Leveraging the exceptional properties of silicon carbide, this robotic arm offers unparalleled performance in precision handling, high-temperature stability, and chemical resistance, making it an indispensable asset for advanced semiconductor processes.

Manufactured from high-purity silicon carbide ceramic, the SiC Robot Arm boasts remarkable mechanical strength and excellent thermal conductivity. Its unique material composition ensures outstanding performance in harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures and exposure to corrosive chemicals, while maintaining ultra-clean operational standards. Unlike conventional materials such as stainless steel or aluminum, silicon carbide provides superior stiffness, ensuring minimal deformation even under mechanical stress. This characteristic is critical in maintaining the precision and stability required in semiconductor production.

The advanced thermal stability of the SiC Robot Arm allows it to function reliably in high-temperature environments. It resists thermal expansion and maintains dimensional integrity, making it ideal for thermal processes like annealing, oxidation, and diffusion. Moreover, the arm's chemical inertness ensures it can operate in plasma etching and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) environments, where exposure to aggressive gases and liquids is routine. These attributes contribute to extended service life and reduced maintenance costs, translating to higher operational efficiency.

In cleanroom environments, maintaining low particulate generation is essential. The SiC Robot Arm meets this requirement with its dense, non-reactive surface that minimizes particle shedding. This property ensures the cleanliness of the semiconductor process and reduces the risk of contamination, which is critical for achieving high production yields and minimizing defects. Additionally, the lightweight nature of silicon carbide reduces strain on robotic systems, enhancing energy efficiency and overall system longevity.

Applications in Semiconductor Processes

The SiC Robot Arm is an essential tool in various stages of semiconductor manufacturing. In wafer handling, it ensures the safe and precise transfer of silicon wafers between processing stations, reducing the risk of mechanical damage and contamination. Its chemical resistance and thermal stability make it indispensable for plasma etching and chemical vapor deposition processes, where it maintains performance despite exposure to harsh conditions. During thermal processes such as annealing or oxidation, the arm retains its structural integrity and precise operation, ensuring consistent and reliable results. Additionally, its high precision and stability are ideal for inspection and metrology applications, where exact positioning is crucial.
