Choosing by Wafer Format & Size
All KOSEN SEMI wet process platforms accommodate 100mm to 300mm wafer formats. For 300mm high-volume manufacturing, specialized wafer cleaning systems and automated batch wet benches offer maximum particle removal and contamination control. For smaller 100mm–200mm lines or compound semiconductors (SiC/GaN), flexible carrier configurations optimize throughput without compromising process uniformity.
Choosing by Automation & Throughput
Fully automated robotic transfer systems minimize operator exposure, eliminate cross-contamination, and ensure consistent recipe timing across advanced nodes. Semi-automated and manual wet bench systems provide modular flexibility and cost-effective operation for R&D facilities, pilot lines, and specialized low-volume production.
Choosing by Chemical & Material Compatibility
Chemical selection dictates fluid path construction. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) and RCA chemistry require inert PFA or quartz components, while SPM (sulfuric peroxide) and organic solvent stripping demand chemical-resistant polymers engineered for thermal stability. KOSEN SEMI validates all fluid-wetted components prior to FAT/SAT delivery.
How to Evaluate Semiconductor Wet Process Equipment Specifications
Selecting semiconductor wet process equipment requires process engineers and fab facility directors to meticulously match tool performance with specific process node targets and defectivity tolerances. Key metrics such as Particle Removal Efficiency (PRE), chemical flow uniformity, megasonic power transfer, and thermal recovery times directly impact overall wafer yields. KOSEN SEMI engineers build every system with modular fluidics and high-precision chemical dosing loops, ensuring consistent micro-contamination control across both front-end-of-line (FEOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) applications.
Beyond process parameters, equipment safety and compliance remain primary considerations for modern semiconductor fabs. KOSEN SEMI systems adhere strictly to international SEMI standards, including SEMI S2 for environmental safety and health, SEMI S8 for ergonomics, and SEMI F47 for voltage sag immunity. By combining robust ultra-high purity wetted materials (PFA, PVDF, and quartz) with real-time PLC monitoring and automated fault diagnostics, our wet benches, wafer cleaning systems, and point-of-use scrubber equipment minimize unplanned downtime, delivering industry-leading reliability and low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
