Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers

IDE focuses on the important challenges that drive today’s semiconductor equipment design

With shrinking process geometries, new structural elements and a major increase in substrate size, the challenges to improving process yield and overall throughput have increased exponentially. These demands drive a stringent requirement for system stability and overall immunity from internal and external forces.

IDE understands these needs and has been at the technology forefront for over 25 years.

IDE – technology leadership and optimum price / performance ratio

Today’s semiconductor OEM’s need partners that are technology leaders and are responsive to their business needs. IDE understands doubling the throughput at double the cost does not make a good investment. IDE’s broad technology portfolio and understanding of your system dynamics allow value engineering of the right solution for your equipment design.

IDE solutions achieve unparalleled results

Advanced lithography and inspection tools must move faster and have quicker settling times in order to achieve higher area throughputs. IDE’s technology leading products utilize a stage feed-forward option, high motor force outputs and high speed actuation to achieve industry leading results.

IDE – system dynamics leadership delivers high throughput automation products providing the greatest placement accuracy

Providing a wide range of automation solutions, IDE covers a full spectrum of automation demands for current and future technology challenges. Wafer and mask handling systems and components are designed with high throughput, accuracy and reliability in mind. Equipment manufacturers can add their core competent, application specific hardware and software into an optimized equipment platform. Combining IDE’s expertise in automation and isolation technology, customized structural dynamic systems are available. These include frame, isolation, stage and automation components, or a subset of them. IDE Service Lifting Tools enable safe and efficient service tasks of any equipment subassembly, eliminating ergonomic impact to service engineers, and significantly reducing service costs and tool downtime in service events.
