Used NOVELLUS / IPEC (Wafer Grinding, Lapping & Polishing) for sale

Novellus/IPEC is a renowned manufacturer of wafer grinding, lapping, and polishing equipment. These systems are essential in the semiconductor industry for the precise and efficient processing of silicon wafers. Wafer grinding units by Novellus/IPEC, such as the AvantGaard 776, are designed to remove excess material from the wafer's surface. This process enhances the wafer's flatness, thickness, and overall surface quality. By employing high-speed rotating grinding wheels, these machines achieve accurate and uniform material removal, ensuring optimal wafer performance. The lapping tools from Novellus/IPEC, including the AvantGaard 776, are used for achieving superior surface finishes on wafers. Lapping involves the use of a loose abrasive slurry and a rotating lapping plate to remove material and create a smooth and uniform surface. This process is particularly useful for achieving precise thickness and flatness control. Polishing assets offered by Novellus/IPEC, such as the AvantGaard 776, utilize chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) technology. CMP removes material by combining the chemical action of a polishing slurry with the mechanical action of a rotating polishing pad. This process ensures excellent planarity, surface finish, and reduced defectivity. The Novellus/IPEC wafer grinding, lapping, and polishing models have several advantages. They provide high productivity, with advanced automation capabilities reducing cycle times and increasing throughput. Moreover, these equipment offer exceptional process control, resulting in improved yields and reduced costs. Other notable examples of Novellus/IPEC wafer processing systems include the AvantGaard 776 and 300MM 776 units, featuring advanced technologies and innovative design for superior performance and reliability. These machines provide semiconductor manufacturers with the tools they need to meet the demanding requirements of modern semiconductor fabrication.
