Process Performance Metrics
VerifiedHigh-Efficiency Recycling and Filtration Reduce Wet Bench CoO by Up to 30 Percent
Modern semiconductor manufacturing demands uncompromised chemical purity alongside aggressive operational cost management. High-cost wet process reagents—such as SPM, SC-1, SC-2, and specialized solvent mixtures—represent a substantial portion of total fab operating expenses. The KOSEN SEMI chemical recycling system combines high-efficiency closed-loop chemical process management with 200 nm standard filtration and optimized capability down to 100 nm to extend bath longevity, maintain continuous chemical purity, and deliver exceptional cost efficiency in wet bench operations while advancing sustainable environmental goals.
Closed-Loop Chemical Management for Extended Bath Lifetimes
In standard wet process systems, continuous wafer processing introduces micro-particulate contamination and causes active chemical degradation, leading to frequent full-bath dumps. KOSEN SEMI closed-loop chemical delivery and recovery technology counters fluid degradation through continuous high-rate chemical filtration paired with real-time concentration monitoring.
By automatically executing micro chemical spike injection to rebalance chemical concentration and continuously recirculating process fluids through inert membrane arrays, bath service life is extended by up to four times.
