Epoxy Seals Deliver Signals in Semiconductor Fabrication

 

Epoxy Seals Deliver Signals in Semiconductor Fabrication Even from its earliest days, semiconductor fabrication has challenged and pushed the realm of automated, ultra-clean manufacturing. From pressurized work environments to high vacuum deposition chambers, getting power, control and monitoring signals into and out of these non-atmospheric pressure and vacuum environments presents a constant challenge. When you consider that the slightest amount of contamination, from ambient air to dust, could scrap a $100,000+ wafer, this is an area that does not tolerate failure.

What are Linear Motion Bearings?

Linear motion bearings generally use a pad, bushing, or roller system to carry a load on a rail that need not be a straight line. The rail can be most any length, although that dimension is limited by the actuator. The durability of the bearing is determined by the load and required speed.
