Advancement Powered By Piezo

As semiconductor manufacturing pushes the limits of miniaturization and precision, piezoelectric systems are emerging as key enablers of next-generation chip production.This article explores how piezo actuators and positioners —known for sub-nanometer accuracy and high-speed responsiveness— are being integrated across front-end and back-end processes, from wafer inspection and polishing to defect analysis and fine-pitch bonding.Despite challenges like hysteresis and environmental constraints,…

Diaphragm vacuum pumps

Diaphragm vacuum pumps generate vacuum by moving a flexible membrane known as a diaphragm up and down. This diaphragm also hermetically seals the compression chamber from the motor, preventing the pumped medium from being contaminated by the gear oil.
