Managing silicon from production to consumption No other company has as much wafer handling experience as Entegris in fabs. Our Silicon Delivery™ Systems and Services cost-effectively manage silicon from production to consumption for any wafer size. Our innovative wafer handling systems are engineered to provide secure wafer protection and precise automation interface, as well as increase yields and minimize unscheduled downtime. One of the key drivers in the semiconductor industry is the production, distribution and processing of 300 mm wafers, and

As tiny ICs are assembled, tested and then transported to the manufacturers of the devices consumers purchase, our protective device handling systems, including matrix trays, chip trays and bare die trays ensure the integrity of these valuable devices.

The broadest range of fluid handling solutions offered As previously mentioned, Entegris’ fluid handling products and services are designed and produced to safely, and with purity, deliver ultrapure, corrosive chemicals throughout the semiconductor manufacturing process. We offer the broadest range of

“Entegris has the broadest product offering, the broadest customer base and in-depth knowledge of the microelectronics industry. Time and time again, Entegris’ innovations have helped solve our customers’ problems. That’s why we are the leader in materials integrity management for the microelectronics industry.”

After final manufacturing, packaged ICs are transported to makers of electronic goods in Entegris’ JEDEC trays to ensure the best protection.

we are playing an integral role. Entegris already has the broadest 300 mm wafer handling product offering in the industry. Our 300 mm Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPs) are the finest products designed for handling these latest-generation silicon wafers during critical process steps. Positioning in the 300 mm market is important, but 200 mm fabs and below will be a major source of Entegris’ revenue for many years to come (see chart at right). We also serve the Test, Assembly and Packaging market by ensuring the integrity of ICs once they are cut from the wafers.

fluid handling solutions for chemical applications. Our products include leading-brand valves, fittings, pipe, tubing, containers, tanks, sensors and custom manufactured products for chemical manufacturing, chemical delivery and distribution, and chemical point-of-use. When you enter the world of semiconductor manufacturing, you’ll find Entegris supporting our customers with the most comprehensive product line in the industry and unparalleled dedication to their success.
