I. Main Application Scenarios of PVDF in Semiconductor Manufacturing
一、PVDF 於半導體製程之主要應用場景
The core semiconductor manufacturing processes are divided into four major segments: wet cleaning, high-purity fluid delivery, anti-corrosion structural equipment components, and anti-static transmission fittings. PVDF serves as the primary structural material for wet process equipment, applicable to most tooling and mechanical parts for wafer fabrication.
半導體核心製程主要分為四大區塊:濕式清洗、高純流體輸送、防腐設備結構件、防靜電傳動配件。PVDF 為濕製程設備之主力結構材料,適用於晶圓製造絕大多數治具與機械零配件。

II. Six Core Advantages of PVDF for Harsh Semiconductor Working Conditions
二、PVDF 對應半導體嚴苛工況之六大核心優勢
1. Extreme Chemical Resistance, Compatible with All Types of Semiconductor Chemicals
1. 超強耐化性,相容全系列半導體藥液
PVDF features a stable carbon-fluorine molecular structure, enabling long-term resistance to all highly corrosive media used in semiconductor manufacturing: 49% hydrofluoric acid (HF), concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated phosphoric acid, hydrogen peroxide, photoresist strippers and various organic etching solvents. It remains free of swelling, cracking or decomposition after immersion within a wide temperature range of -40℃ to 125℃.PVDF
擁有穩定的碳氟分子結構,可長期耐受半導體製程所有高腐蝕介質:49% 氫氟酸、濃硫酸、濃磷酸、雙氧水、光阻剝除液與各式有機蝕刻溶劑。在 -40℃~125℃ 寬溫浸泡環境下,不會膨脹、龜裂或分解。
Compared with PP, nylon and POM: conventional plastics swell and deform rapidly upon contact with hydrofluoric acid, while metal fittings corrode and rust directly. Only PVDF delivers long-term stable performance for all chemical environments in wet cleaning processes.
相較 PP、尼龍、POM 等通用塑膠,接觸氫氟酸會快速膨脹變形,金屬配件則直接腐蝕生鏽;唯有 PVDF 可在濕式清洗全藥液環境下長期穩定使用。
2. Excellent Mechanical Toughness & Dimensional Stability for High-Frequency Automated Cycles
2. 機械韌性佳、尺寸穩定,適配高頻自動化循環
PVDF boasts high strength and superior toughness. The toothed support bars of wafer baskets machined from PVDF rods will not become brittle or fracture under repeated lifting and alternating hot-cold chemical exposure. They can support ultra-thin silicon wafers as thin as 120 μm and lower wafer breakage loss.
PVDF 強度與韌性優異,PVDF 棒加工之晶圓籓齒條支撐結構,在反覆升降、冷熱藥液交替環境下不易脆裂,可穩定支撐 120μm 超薄矽晶圓,降低破片損耗。
With a low coefficient of thermal expansion, PVDF maintains fixed dimensions under hot chemicals and thermal cycling. The slot clearance of wafer baskets stays consistent to prevent wafer jamming and edge scratching.
PVDF 熱膨脹係數低,高溫藥液與溫度循環下尺寸固定,晶圓籓槽距穩定,避免卡片、邊緣刮傷問題。
Its wear-resistant and self-lubricating property ensures PVDF gears and bearings operate without shedding debris. No lubricating oil is required for long-term service, eliminating oil contamination risks in cleanrooms.
材質具耐磨、自潤滑特性,PVDF 齒輪、軸承運轉無碎屑掉落、無須潤滑油,徹底杜絕無塵室油汙染風險。
3. Inherent UL94 V-0 Highest Flame Retardant Rating for Cleanroom Compliance
3. 原生 UL94 V-0 最高阻燃等級,符合無塵室規範
Semiconductor cleanrooms enforce strict fire safety standards. Without additional flame retardant additives, PVDF achieves UL94 V-0 vertical flammability rating: it self-extinguishes rapidly once the flame source is removed and produces no flaming molten drips that could ignite nearby wafers or flammable chemicals.
半導體無塵室防火規範嚴格,PVDF 無須添加阻燃劑即具原生 UL94 V-0 垂直阻燃等級,離火即熄、無熔融滴落引燃,不會點燃晶圓與易燃藥液。
Ordinary plastics rated V-2 melt and drip with open flames under high temperatures, posing severe fire hazards to production lines. All semiconductor fabs mandate V-0 fluoropolymer components for production equipment.
一般 V-2 等級塑膠高溫會熔融滴落、持續燃燒,對產線構成重大火險;半導體廠均強制設備使用 V-0 等級氟塑零組件。

4. 完整防靜電改質方案,杜絕靜電擊穿
Custom carbon black or carbon fiber filled conductive/anti-static PVDF rods are available with controllable surface resistance ranging from 10⁶ to 10¹⁰ Ω・cm. This effectively addresses the pain point of electrostatic discharge generated by fluid friction during cleaning, which would otherwise break down chip circuits. Such modified materials are widely applied to wafer transport rollers, transmission gears and tooling fixtures.
