Very high speed solenoid valves increase semiconductor production output

As semiconductor node sizes drop below 10 nanometers and wafer test cells demand greater efficiency and throughput, semiconductor equipment manufacturers need to dispense and meter small volumes of critical fluids under intense operating conditions. These high-performance systems demand field-proven fluidic components capable of near-digital response. Additionally, as chip volumes increase, high-reliability solutions are required to maximize production line uptime.
