Semiconductor

Semiconductors are essential in various fields such as smartphones, computers, communications, transportation, and healthcare, contributing to the development of our lives and society. With the implementation of new technologies like AI, autonomous driving, and metaverse, there is an increasing need for large-scale and advanced data processing, which is expected to lead to further performance improvement and production expansion. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment utilizes a wide variety of parts with different shapes and materials. These materials range from stainless steel, iron, and aluminum to challenging materials, such as quartz glass and carbon graphite, which are known as brittle materials that are difficult to process. Processing these materials requires high-quality and advanced processing technology. Mazak has extensive experience and achievements in the semiconductor industry, and offers highly reliable system solutions with solid technology and product capabilities.

Examples of semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts

To meet the increasing demand for miniaturization and integration of semiconductors, efforts towards the development of next-generation semiconductor manufacturing technology have been intensifying. Mazak contributes to high-value production by providing precision machining, which is required mainly for the machining of manufacturing equipment parts in the front-end process, machining technologies and chips disposal systems required for difficult-to-machine and brittle materials with excellent corrosion resistance, and automation know-how.
