Semiconductor

  AURUM is increasingly specified in silicon wafer and microprocessor handling, fabrication, and testing operations for its unique combination of attributes including:

1. High purity and low trace metal content
2. Low outgassing at elevated temperatures (ie, 315°C)
3. Low thermal conductivity
4. Dimensional stability at elevated temperatures (ie, etching, solder reflow, CVD)
5. Surface resistivity of 10¹⁰ - 10¹² Ohms

  AURUM components resist harsh plasma environments and then extreme temperatures found in the CVD, etching, and reflow processes.

3M's new Olive Ultra High Temperature material has been developed to withstand the demanding high temperature processing needs of the electronics industry. The unique material properties enable its use in certain reflow applications, as well as in other potential applications such as high temperature process carriers for the hard disk drive and semiconductor industry. The product's cleanliness (low outgassing, non-sloughing), dimensional stability and electrical properties permit its potential use across a wide range of high temperature applications.

Molded Plastic Advantages

• Can be molded to meet thick (.480") or thin (.300") JEDEC form factors
• Increased cell densities over metal boats and trays
• Allows integration of interlocking stacking features for tray flippability
• Precise, predictable and stable features and dimensions

Excellent Thermal Characteristics

• 230°C short-term exposure (<20 min./cycle)
• 215°C long-term exposure (24 hr.)
• Excellent thermal stability - meets JEDEC standards for flatness (<.030") after multiple exposures to 230°C temperatures
• Low thermal mass (low heat capacity)
• Low heat conductivity

A Wide Range of Productivity Benefits

• Eliminates transfer from metal boats to JEDEC trays
• Flippable features permit live and dead bug processing
• Fully recyclable and reusable materials
• Higher throughput capability
• Lower energy costs required to heat and cool 3M ™ Olive Trays as compared to metal fixtures
• Product may be designed to be compatible with existing capital equipment, providing low program costs
