Semiconductors
Silicon, Si, Germanium, Ge, II-VI / III-V compound semiconductors e.g. Zinc Selenide, ZnSe, Gallium Arsenide, GaAs, Cadmium Telluride, CdTe and
Wide Band Gap Semiconductors (WBGSs) such as Silicon Carbide, SiC and related materials are grown in ingot form then ground into cylinders, sawn into wafers and ultimately,
lapped, polished, chemo-mechanically polished and cleaned. The wafers are fabricated into integrated circuits (IC's) with
thousands of chips or other devices per wafer and the fabricated wafers are thinned by backgrinding/backlapping/backpolishing
or a combination of these steps.
Chemetall Precision Microchemicals develops and manufactures numerous chemistries for all machining steps including coolants
for wire sawing, grinding/backgrinding, wafer dicing/singulation and abrasive slurries including diamond, alumina, ceria, silica,
boron carbide, silicon carbide for lapping and polishing processes. Additionally, we develop and manufacture precision
chemo-mechanical polishing (CMP), abrasive and non-abrasive slurries for polishing/planarizing base wafers prior to epitaxy
complimented with our specially formulated cleaners to remove chemical and abrasive detritus.
