When it comes to semiconductor manufacturing, the fabrication process is a highly exacting and intricate one. Semiconductors require a contaminant-free space for the majority of production stages, exceptionally pure materials, and a well-engineered process. From start to finish, MultiSource Manufacturing, LLC provides comprehensive, high-quality fabrication of semiconductor components and assemblies using concurrent engineering processes, a class 1000 clean room, PFA fabrication, and much more.

Semiconductor components are highly present in today’s electronics-saturated world in the tools and devices we each use every day. From the cell phones so present in the routine of our lives to the complex computational and mechanical systems used at NASA and in the military, semiconductors have a vital role. The MultiSource network provides semiconductor components and assembly production including microchip reticle handling and purging, wafer and device handling system components, and wet processing for the primary production stages.

Wet processing is a critical stage in the manufacturing of all semiconductor components. It is during this process in which the format of the pure wafer is created. The wet processing steps are applied in the following way:

1. A resistant material is deposited into the surface of the semiconductor wafer following the engineered format desired of the final product. For the majority of semiconductors, that format is what visually creates a small roadmap of connected nodes.
2. The wafer is then submerged in or otherwise exposed to a liquid or vapor that will etch away the exposed wafer and leave behind the format of the deposited material.
3. Finally, the wafer is cleaned and inspected for quality before moving to the next stage of the manufacturing process.

While the wet processing stages of semiconductor component manufacturing is a small portion of fabrication as a whole, it’s a critical one. The wet etching and cleaning of a semiconductor wafer remains the most effective way of creating an exactly engineered format. This is also why it’s key that our team of highly-trained experts applies reverse engineering to this process as a whole. The format of a semiconductor is what makes it a functioning electronic component, and to create the correct format, our engineers must understand the desired result and work backwards to develop a solution.

With a well-versed team of engineers ready to come into the design process with the understanding of reversed development, well-made semiconductor wafers, a high-class clean room, and reliable fabrication technology, MultiSource is a trusted manufacturer of semiconductor components for OEMs and other customers.
