In the case of fine substrates that are chip-processed into products, even a portion of the outer circumference becoming unusable due to the holder results in loss. For expensive materials like crystal substrates, even a few sheets of loss cannot be overlooked. In response to clients' demands for cost-cutting, it was necessary to review the coating process. Our company has been solving customer challenges through film formation design and the provision of optical components, but for this matter, we advanced the review of the substrate holding method. By improving the deposition axis and creating a method to secure from the top and sides, we made it possible to coat the entire surface of the substrate. As a result, there are no longer any areas without film adhesion, allowing us to turn all materials into products without waste, leading to significant cost reductions. 【Case Overview】 ■ Challenge: Eliminate material loss caused by non-adhesion due to vacuum deposition ■ Solution: Improved production methods to enable coating over the entire substrate ■ Future Outlook: Strive to solve challenges with a broader perspective beyond film formation design *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We were requested by a semiconductor manufacturer to analyze samples of prisms used in integrated circuit manufacturing equipment sensors. Upon conducting an analysis with arbitrary oil and grease (contaminants) applied, it was found that the presence of contaminants disrupted the total reflection conditions, resulting in a loss of light intensity. In the event that contaminants adhere, it could lead to a decrease in detection accuracy and potentially cause process defects, making urgent improvements necessary. Therefore, we proposed a prism equipped with a high-reflective mirror that maintains high reflectivity even if contaminants adhere, called the "Prism with Induced Multi-layer Film Mirror." We received high praise from the semiconductor manufacturer, and it was adopted immediately.
