Lubricant Guide for Semiconductor Manufacturing

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment requires reliable, clean lubricants to prevent contamination, improve yields, and reduce downtime.

Why Should You Ultrafilter Semiconductor Lubricants?

Ultrafiltration is a rigidly controlled process that removes unwanted microscopic particulates or 'contamination' from a grease or oil that can negatively affect semiconductor yields.

Case Study: PFOA-Compliant Grease for Wafer Handling Robots

Nye developed a new low-outgassing lubricant for a customer whose heritage product was discontinued after failing to comply with REACH-PFOA requirements.

Advanced Testing for In-Vacuum Lubricants

In Nye's Vacuum, Aerospace, and Semiconductor Test laboratory, our engineers ensure that semiconductor lubricants meet your low-outgassing and low particle generation requirements.



An Interview with Semiconductor Lubrication Expert Robert Hoffman

How does outgassing effect the performance of semiconductor equipment? How do lubricants for wafer fabrication manufacturing and flat panel display manufacturing differ? Nye's Bob Hoffman answers these questions and more.
