0.1 micron ultra-flat surface, reduce particle residue

after electrolytic polishing treatment of semiconductor components surface roughness stable to 0.1 microns or less. The microscopic protrusions are flattened, which greatly reduces the probability of attachment of harmful particles and chemical impurities during wafer processing, and greatly improves the yield of chip manufacturing.

gear

The chromium-iron ratio is increased to more than 2 to one, enhancing corrosion resistance

the electrolytic process promotes the preferential dissolution of iron elements on the surface of parts and components, forming a strong and tough protective film rich in chromium. The proportion of ferrochrome on the surface is significantly increased to more than 2 to one, which prolongs the corrosion resistance life of stainless steel parts by more than 1 times in the face of strong corrosive process gas.

gear

Reduce the outgassing rate to a very low level and shorten the vacuum pumping time

due to the electrolytic polishing completely removes the microscopic amorphous layer and closed pores on the surface of the material, the adsorption area of moisture and gas is greatly reduced. The degassing rate of the parts is greatly reduced, which shortens the vacuuming time of the ultra-high vacuum machine by 30%.

gear

Remove micro mechanical stress and eliminate hidden cracks

traditional machining will leave residual stress and micro cracks on the surface of parts. This process gently removes the surface damage layer by electrochemical dissolution, completely releases the mechanical stress, and avoids the fatigue cracking of the parts in the long-term high temperature cycle alternating environment.

gear

Optimize the polishing of complex cavities and deep holes to ensure uniform morphology

use customized cathode arrangement technology for complex structures such as vacuum cavities, valve bodies, and long and deep holes in semiconductor processes. Ensure that the current density is uniform in all areas of the component, so that the inner wall of complex shaped parts also achieves a highly consistent polishing quality.

gear

Strictly implement seamless cleaning and packaging to reach the standard of grade 100 clean room

after electrolytic polishing is completed, the parts will go through multiple ultrasonic deionized water cleaning and hot air drying processes, and finally complete double vacuum packaging in grade 100 clean room. Strictly block secondary pollution to ensure that the product can be directly sent to the fab machine for installation.

Chinsor Tech semiconductor electropolishing parts show a significant lead in material micro-purity. Similar products mostly use conventional industrial-grade electrolyte, which is easy to leave free acid and heavy metal impurities on the surface of stainless steel. Chinsor Tech adopts high-purity electronic-grade formula electrolyte, combined with precision temperature control and multi-stage reverse osmosis ultra-pure water washing process, so that the trace ion residue on the surface of parts is 60% lower than the industry average. In terms of mechanical dimension and topography control, Chinsor Tech has excellent precision machining integration capabilities. Ordinary polishing process is often due to the uneven distribution of current, resulting in parts edge transition polishing or thread size difference. Through its self-developed computer-aided current simulation system, Chinsor Tech can accurately predict and control the amount of metal dissolved in each part, and strictly control the dimensional tolerance of key sealing surfaces and threads within three microns.

Solve the problem of local over-polishing deformation of cavity components

traditional polishing is easy to destroy the tolerance of precision mating surface. Chinsor Tech solves the problems of edge over-polishing and over-tolerance of shape and position tolerance that are easy to occur in the polishing process of complex vacuum cavity flange surface and sealing groove through profile cathode design and micro-area current blocking technology.

solution

Overcoming the defect that the inner wall of the special-shaped pipe cannot be uniformly passivated

For semiconductor gas transportation pipe fittings with extremely high aspect ratio, Chinsor Tech uses internal circulating electrolyte pumping technology to solve the uneven polishing and local non-passivation defects caused by current attenuation and bubble accumulation in the middle of the inner wall of the pipe fitting.

solution

Removal of microscopic particle contamination caused by mechanical polishing

Mechanical polishing often causes abrasive particles to be embedded in the stainless steel matrix and continuously releases particles during operation. Chinsor Tech solves the problem of long-term recessive release of particulate matter caused by mechanical processing of deformed layers by pure electrochemical comprehensive dissolution to remove damaged layers.

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions page. We have compiled answers to common questions you may have, hoping to provide you with clear and quick solutions. If you cannot find the information you need here, please feel free to contact our customer support team.

Q: What is the core difference between the electrolytic polishing process and ordinary mechanical polishing?
A: Mechanical polishing is the removal of surface roughness by cutting abrasives, which will leave mechanical stress and may embed impurity particles. Electrolytic polishing is through the electrochemical dissolution of the anode surface of the micro-convex, belongs to the non-mechanical processing, can reduce the roughness at the same time thoroughly remove the surface impurities and release the stress.
Q: How much can the surface corrosion resistance of stainless steel parts treated by this process be improved?
A: Electrolytic polishing preferentially dissolves the iron element on the surface of the material, thus forming a dense and chromium oxide-rich passivation protective film on the surface. After authoritative testing, its anti-salt spray corrosion ability and the ability to resist strong corrosive process gas erosion are usually more than 1 times higher than ordinary mechanical polishing parts.
Q: This kind of electrolytic polishing parts in the ultra-high vacuum environment will produce a lot of outgassing phenomenon?
A: No. The electrolytic polishing process completely smoothes the microscopic closed pores and fine burrs on the surface of the parts, which greatly reduces the physical adsorption area of gas phase molecules. The metal parts treated by this process have a very low outgassing rate and are very suitable for ultra-high vacuum environments.
Q: How does your factory guarantee the quality when polishing the deep holes and small holes inside the complex cavity?
A: The factory will specially design and manufacture the profiling composite cathode according to the internal structure of the complex special-shaped parts. In the polishing process with the electrolyte internal forced circulation system, to ensure that the deep hole, fine blind hole inside the current density is uniform, so as to achieve a high degree of synchronization of internal and external surface quality.
Q: Will electrolytic polishing change the original mechanical dimensions and tolerances of semiconductor precision components?
A: Electrolytic polishing is a trace metal dissolution process, and the removal thickness of the material surface is usually controlled at the micron level. The factory adjusts the current density and electrolysis time through a precise digital control system, which can limit the dimensional changes of key mating positions and fastening threads to a minimum.
Q: How is the clean packaging of the product when it leaves the factory? Can it be used directly in the clean room of the fab?
A: All the parts that have been electropolished need to be cleaned by ultra-pure water and ultrasonic wave. After passing strict surface particle and ion residue detection, double-layer nylon vacuum packaging is carried out directly in the 100-level dust-free office area. After receiving the goods, the customer can directly bring them into the clean room of the fab for unpacking and installation.
