Sector overview
What manufacturing for this sector actually involves
In semiconductor capital equipment, a part that measures correctly and is contaminated is scrap. Cleanliness is a specification with a number attached, and we process, package, and ship to it.
Vacuum-critical work runs through dedicated tooling and a segregated route: no ferrous cross-contamination, controlled cutting fluids, and a documented clean and bake before final leak test.
Programs in this sector change fast. We are structured to hold a revision-controlled build while a customer iterates the next one, without merging the two.

REQSector requirements
Four things this sector demands that others do not.
- 01
Specified cleanliness
Segregated routing, controlled fluids, clean-and-bake processing, and ISO Class 7 assembly with particulate verification.
- 02
Verified vacuum integrity
Helium mass spectrometry leak testing to 1 × 10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s, recorded per serial number.
- 03
Surface finish control
Electropolished and controlled-Ra internal surfaces where process chemistry contacts the part.
- 04
Fast revision cycles
Revision-controlled builds run in parallel without cross-contaminating configurations or inventory.
