Semiconductor Production Equipment
.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?
Semiconductor production equipment processes wafers into finished dies. The suppliers below build wet-chemical and cleaning systems, deposition and epitaxy reactors, thermal process equipment, and the handling and inspection machinery of the front end.
What semiconductor production equipment suppliers provide
Suppliers in this category build the machines used in wafer fabrication. The scope covers wet benches and wafer cleaning systems, etching and surface preparation, deposition and epitaxy reactors, thermal processing such as rapid thermal annealing and diffusion furnaces, and the automation around them: load ports, wafer handling, carriers, and inline metrology. Many suppliers work to a customer’s process recipe and qualify the tool against defect and uniformity targets before handover. Core competence lies in process repeatability at wafer scale under cleanroom conditions. In the pre-selection phase, compare which wafer diameters and process steps a supplier covers, which contamination levels their tools hold, and whether they support process development alongside the hardware. Board-level assembly and back-end packaging equipment is listed separately under Electronics Assembly & SMT Equipment.
Relevant standards
Equipment safety is assessed against SEMI S2, and equipment reliability and utilisation are reported to SEMI E10. Cleanroom air cleanliness is classified to ISO 14644-1. Suppliers commonly certify quality management to ISO 9001; machinery placed on the EU market is CE marked.
Frequently asked questions
Does this category include chip manufacturers?
No. It lists suppliers of the production equipment. Companies that manufacture integrated circuits or semiconductor components themselves are listed under Electrical & Electronic Components.
