Semiconductor and Electronics

Close-up of semiconductor wafer under precision testing equipment, representing high-purity sealing solutions for various environment and wafer fabrication processes.

At Katon®, we understand that the electronics, electrical, and semiconductor industries require the highest standards of reliability and precision. Our sealing solutions are engineered to withstand extreme conditions and provide dependable performance, ensuring your equipment operates smoothly. Whether it's for electrical applications,  semiconductor manufacturing equipment or post manufacturing pipelines, we’ve designed our products to meet the demanding needs of these critical industries.


Metal Wiring

Metal wiring processes in semiconductor manufacturing forms critical interconnects between devices and layers. This phase involves processes such as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Metal Chemical Vapor Deposition (Metal CVD), barrier and seed layer coating, and Electrochemical Plating (ECP). These operations subject elastomer seals to extreme conditions—vacuum, plasma, reactive metal precursors, and corrosive chemical baths. Katon® offers high heat resistant FFKM O-rings and seals engineered for these harsh environments.

Features and Benefits

  • Outstanding performance in Metal CVD equipment seals
  • High Performance in process vacuum chambers
  • Low outgassing and minimal particle generation in high-vacuum PVD and CVD chambers
  • Chemically stable in corrosive precursors and post-cleaning solutions
  • High thermal resistance for processes involving elevated temperatures and long cycles
