New Laser Polishing Process of Machined Fused Quartz Disks Improves Resilience and Useful Life of Same.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 1998--Quartz Unlimited, Inc. today announced the availability of a new and effective way to improve quartz disk products which are used by the semiconductor manufacturing industry. This newly developed selective laser polishing process hardens and smooths the cut and machined edges of quartz disks. Consequently, it will significantly increase the mechanical strength of the edges and will resist chipping and cracking cracking - cracker during handling and recycling recycling, the process of recovering and reusing waste products—from household use, manufacturing, agriculture, and business—and thereby reducing their burden on the environment. . Chip fabricating companies such as Intel, Motorola, Hundai and others are using semiconductor manufacturing equipment made by Applied Materials Applied Materials, Inc. NASDAQ: AMAT (HKSE: 4336 ) is the global leader in nanomanufacturing technology solutions with a broad portfolio of innovative equipment, service and software products for the fabrication of semiconductor chips, flat panel solar displays, solar , GaSonics International, etc. which use quartz gas dispersion dispersion, in chemistry dispersion, in chemistry, mixture in which fine particles of one substance are scattered throughout another substance. A dispersion is classed as a suspension, colloid, or solution. disks inside the processing chambers. "Loose chipped quartz particles falling into and contaminating con·tam·i·nate tr.v. con·tam·i·nated, con·tam·i·nat·ing, con·tam·i·nates 1. To make impure or unclean by contact or mixture. 2. To expose to or permeate with radioactivity. adj. the processing chamber can cause shut downs or major delays in the semiconductor production process," said Ferenc Ledniczky, vice president of engineering at Quartz Unlimited, Inc. "We developed a simple and economical way to eliminate the problem and save significant amounts of time and money for the customer." This new edge finish is now available on most of the disk products the company makes for a small premium over standard finish.
