3M brings precision, performance and efficiency to your manufacturing process.
-
Technology trends in 5G, augmented and virtual reality, IoT, and autonomous driving are fueling an unprecedented demand for smaller devices with increased functionality, memory and speed. Semiconductors are a key variable in meeting new requirements and it’s up to manufacturers to find solutions. That’s where 3M can help. From fabrication and advanced packaging, to component packaging and manufacturing equipment support and maintenance, our goal is to improve product performance, process efficiency and yield, so you can move confidently into the future.
3M has applied decades of science-based expertise to a range of materials for semiconductor manufacturing processes and equipment solutions. Our inovations are used in etching and deposition, CMP and surface-finishing materials for wafer processing, advanced packaging materials, tape and reel for chip transport, and materials for wafer doping and ion implantation. For equipment support, we’ve developed proprietary fluid technology for cleaning and thermal management and created high-purity thermoplastics for better fluid handling and perfluoroelastomers for sealing and gasket protection.
We want our innovations to help you shape the future of the semiconductor industry. 3M material experts are here to apply extensive research and development to your needs and deliver a solution through our global manufacturing reach. With access to more than 50 technology platforms, no challenge is too complex — we’re ready to help.
At 3M, we can help you overcome material challenges found in semiconductor manufacturing processes, equipment and handling.
-
Semiconductor fabrication solutionsDrive productivity, lower cost of ownership and improve yields in CMP processes for current and advanced node semiconductor manufacturing with CMP pads and pad conditioners from 3M.
-
Solutions for advanced IC packaging enable the latest wafer- and panel-level packaging processes and protect key components during intense high-temperature processing methods.
-
Shipping and storage can be hard on delicate components — high-precision tape and reel semiconductor solutions from 3M can help prevent damage and increase productivity.
-
Solutions for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and maintenanceTake care of your most valuable operations. Fluids from 3M allow for precise temperature control (between -100°C and 180°C) and less frequent semiconductor equipment maintenance. Specialized fluoropolymers bring chemical and thermal resistance for fluid handling systems and provide excellent materials for seals and gaskets.
