Semiconductors

Lifetime performance and product reliability are invariably major concerns for design engineers. These qualities are especially critical in semiconductor applications, where millions of cycles are expected at constant repeatable accuracies. A motor or bearing failure in this situation could equate to loss of work hours, machine time and millions of dollars in lost production and raw materials. Calnetix Technologies offers custom subsystems consisting of a motor, magnetic bearings and power electronics, which meet the specifications for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Calnetix has been a reliable partner for all of the world’s largest producers of semiconductor machinery and offers customized solutions to provide system efficiency and long life for semiconductor equipment. Some of the key acceptance factors are Calnetix’s exceptional reliability and the unique characteristics of its permanent magnet motor generator solutions while operating under demanding conditions, such as corrosive gases, high temperatures and vacuums.

Calnetix has developed and produced 2 kW, 3 kW, 4 kW, and water-cooled 4 pole custom integrated subsystems for a major laser company servicing the semiconductor industry.
