For over 26 years, ITW Rippey has been the leader in
critical cleaning applications in the semiconductor industry. Now ITW
Rippey Corporation offers a product solution to eliminate the need for PVA
brush loading on your OnTrak tool . . . ITW
Rippey Microclean QuickTrak™.
Rippey Microclean QuickTrak™ is comprised of a disposable polypropylene
mandrel and a Rippey Symmetry™ PVA brush. The
patented mandrel design is modeled to match the flow-through
characteristics of the standard OnTrak mandrel
and meets the tool's wafer cleaning performance specifications. The QuickTrak™ mandrel is fabricated through a
cost-effective injection molding process and following its use on the OnTrak tool, the polypropylene is recyclable to
minimize fab waste costs.
The installation of the ITW Rippey Microclean
Symmetry™ PVA brush is preformed on a specially designed tool within ITW Rippey's cleanroom
environment. The automated installation process ensures a properly
installed PVA brush, which is critical to enhanced wafer cleaning
performance on the tool. The QuickTrak™ solution
eliminates bunching or twisting of the material that can occur with manual
installation and reduces the potential for contamination or damage to the
PVA brush as fab personnel no longer have to
remove a used brush and reinstall a new brush. The Microclean
Symmetry™ PVA brush is installed perfectly on the QuickTrak™
disposable mandrel each and every time following the guidelines of ITW
Rippey ISO manufacturing procedures. Following the installation of the PVA
brush onto the QuickTrak disposable mandrel, the
product is double-ba™gged in class 10 cleanroom bags, sealed, and labeled for delivery to
your fab.
The Quicktrak™ product solution
is designed to provide semiconductor manufacturers with distinct
improvement for their post-CMP cleaning processes. The reduction in labor
costs and the potential for reduced contamination from PVA brush handling
during the change-out process is critical to advancing wafer cleaning
operations.
