We are continuously receiving many orders and inquiries from semiconductor manufacturers.
The following applications are the examples we are collecting from our customers.
Let us introduce how our indicators can support them.
We would like you to know how NiGK’s products are used in this growing field.
NiGK hopes this information could be any help for your business.
Before dicing (the process to separate dies from silicon wafer) , silicon wafers are typically mounted on dicing tape which the adhesive bond is broken by UV exposure.
UV labels can check if the UV light is working correctly.
UV irradiation generates ozone, which removes organic matter from the wafer surface.
UV labels can be used to check if UV-Ozone Cleaners are working correctly.
Photoresist Removal is a process that removes photoresist from a silicon wafer. Photoresist melts when exposed to light and this makes it possible to create prominences and depressions. This allows for certain patterns to be created.
UV labels provide a solution for checking the irradiation distribution and intensity of the UV irradiation light source for Photoresist Removal.
Vacuum condition makes easy to control chemical reactions and helps keeping the manufacturing space clean. If you attach the temperature indicators for vacuums (VL series) on a wafer, you can check the temperature easily even under the vacuum condition.
Many kinds of chemical gases are used and emitted during the manufacturing process of semiconductors.
Temperature labels also can be used in a fan motor of an exhaust emission control system to check abnormal heat.

Semiconductor wafer is polished to smooth the surface in Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process. During this process, heat is generated due to friction between the surface of the wafer and the polishing pad. Our temperature indicators are able to check the over heat of such narrow spaces and rotating objects to prevent unexpected damages.
