Materials that keep tools inside semiconductor fabs running

How the AI boom reaches the seal - a small component that carries outsized weight in semiconductor manufacturing

The tools inside semiconductor fabs must run day after day — and that reliability rests on components few people think about: the seals and composites that withstand aggressive chemistries, high temperatures, and exacting purity standards. As the AI boom accelerates InP laser production and strains the supply chain, these small parts carry outsized weight. Greene Tweed's George Rawa and Thyag Sadasiwan discuss why a seal is a reliability decision rather than a commodity, and how Chemraz sealing expertise and the ONX 600 composite line meet semiconductor manufacturing's toughest demands.
