Simax’s Applications Engineers not only have the experience in handling exotic materials, but they also have the creative vision required to help you design innovative material handling solutions that aid you in realizing a successful conclusion to your unique product development.

The “Material Handling Plus” package includes expert guidance from Simax Applications Engineers with 20+ years of experience. Custom designed chucks are specifically fabricated to handle any exotic material that you may need to produce your product. Our track record includes working with exotic materials such as Gallium Arsenide, Silicon Carbide, Indium Phosphide, and Lithium Niobate to mention only a few.

Simax’s engineers have pioneered both imaginative adhesion techniques as well as elegant capillary action wafer release methods to minimize contamination and/or damage to the final product. Exotic materials can create unusual challenges with overlay, chuck leveling, and other aspects of lithography, which normally don’t present as much of a challenge with conventional materials. Simax engineers will be there to guide you through these challenges, helping you to minimize your products’ development time, and ultimately to guarantee your products’ successful and swift delivery to the marketplace.
