As just one of the many hats worn, Reading Plastic & Metal is a top American semiconductor manufacturer. Because this is an integral part of creating electronic devices, choosing the right company to supply your semiconductors is a must. Whether it’s diodes, transistors, or integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductors are a popular choice. Often made of pure elements, such as silicon, germanium, or compounds such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide, a few advantages of semiconductors are their compactness, reliability, power efficiency, and low cost.
There are a variety of plastics that can be used for semiconductor manufacturing, but high-performance plastics are the best choice. Because projects within the semiconductor industry are incredibly complex, time-consuming, and expensive, precautions must be taken at all steps, starting with cleanliness within the lab. Many chemicals and gasses used in these processes are extremely corrosive. While metals will corrode in these conditions, high-performance plastics can withstand them.
A few reasons plastics are used in the semiconductor industry include:
