CyclAFlor^® Applications

Enabling Semiconductor Manufacturing

CyclAFlor^® amorphous fluoropolymers  are strategic materials for semiconductor manufacturing, offering a unique mix of properties that enhance performance, durability, and efficiency of electronic devices. Key benefits include:

Chemical Resistance

CyclAFlor fluoropolymers provide superior resistance to a wide range of chemicals, ensuring the longevity and reliability of semiconductor components.

Thermal Stability

With excellent thermal stability and low thermal conductivity, CyclAFlor fluoropolymers maintain their performance during high-temperature semiconductor fabrication processes and help manage and dissipate heat generated by electronic components.

Low Dielectric Constant

The low k-values of CyclAFlor amorphous fluoropolymers make them excellent interlayer insulators, reducing parasitic capacitance in high-speed electronic circuits. This results in lower signal loss and improved performance of electronic devices.

Optical Properties

CyclAFlor fluoropolymers offer high optical transparency and low refractive indices, enhancing light transmission and signal clarity in photonic and optoelectronic applications. A key application is as a material for pellicles used to protect photomasks from dust particles and other contaminants in the photolithography process. Pellicles made with CyclAFlor amorphous fluoropolymers last longer due to superior resistance to degradation from exposure to deep ultraviolet (DUV) wavelengths.

Coating and Encapsulation

CyclAFlor fluoropolymers are ideal for coating and encapsulating semiconductor devices, protecting them from moisture, corrosive chemicals and gases, and physical damage during production.

These properties make CyclAFlor amorphous fluoropolymers invaluable for fabricating and packaging faster, smaller, and more efficient electronic devices. Contact us today to learn how CyclAFlor products can elevate your semiconductor manufacturing process and product performance.
