Semiconductor
Extraordinary technical innovations are being made in the fields of semiconductors, flat panel displays, solar power generation and related areas. The integration density of semiconductor chips continues to increase: the width of the smallest individual transistors is now 45 nm, and it will be reduced to 32 nm in the coming years. Similarly, the size of flat panel displays continues to increase, and manufacturers invest in equipment for the production of 8th generation (2,500 mm by 2,300 mm) through 10th generation panels.
The manufacturing of these products is done in extremely harsh environments such as vacuum, high temperature, corrosion-free and clean-room. Machines must include components that can withstand the environmental constraints to minimize downtime and increase throughput.
These developments and conditions mean that ever-more exacting demands are being made on the bearings, ball screws, linear guides and mechatronics products that are used in semiconductor and flat panel production equipment. These include requirements for:
- low dust emissions
- low gas emissions
- high heat tolerance
- corrosion resistance
In the development of products that can be used in vacuums, at high temperatures, and in corrosion-free and controlled clean environments, NSK utilizes proprietary core technologies such as:
- material technology
- lubrication technology
- clean technology surface treatment technology
- precision guiding technology
The company contributes to advancements in functionality and performance of a wide range of production equipment through its SPACEA™ Series of bearings, ball screws and linear guides for special environments, and it is engaged in environmentally friendly product development.
