Plastic Materials for Semiconductor Manufacturing

The semiconductor industry requires components manufactured from materials with a unique combination of conductive, shielding, insulating, and heat resistant properties. High performance plastics provide the perfect solution! Our materials meet the specifications for the required properties and provide semiconductor manufacturers with the ideal characteristics for both end products and as parts in the processing equipment used to manufacture the semiconductors.

Our Material Selection for Semiconductor and Electronics

At Piedmont Plastics, our plastic solutions are used extensively throughout the semiconductor industry, especially where high temperature and high purity processing is required. Our plastic materials are dimensionally stable at high and low temperatures, provide clean and contaminant-free surfaces, and are not affected by harsh chemicals, strong acids, or solvents.

Our solutions continue to replace metal parts for wafer handling, bearing surfaces, processing vessels, parts carriers, and IC test equipment sockets and handlers. Piedmont also distributes static dissipative PVC, acrylic, and polycarbonate for use in applications such as clean room glazing.

Furthermore, many of our plastics are used in the production of semiconductors and electronic equipment applications including circuit boards, fixtures, hard disk drives, wet benches, wafer processing, and test sockets!
