PECeramics,
Inc. (PEC) specializes in the manufacture of semiconductor
ceramic components and spares used
in wafer processing equipment. We can produce virtually any ceramic
component used in the semiconductor
industry today. Examples include end effectors and various rings and
liners. PEC is skilled at producing ceramic semiconductor components
with complex geometry and designs. Our goal is to provide
high-quality, low-cost semiconductor ceramic parts by leveraging our
innovative manufacturing processes and techniques. PE Ceramics is your
ideal partner to cost reduce ceramic spares while maintaining the high
level of quality demanded by the semiconductor industry.
Our fabrication methods involve the
precision grinding and lapping of high-performance semiconductor grade
ceramic materials: aluminum oxide ceramic (99.5% or 99.8% alumina),
silicon carbide (CVD, sintered, or hot pressed SiC), aluminum nitride
(AlN), and electrostatic discharge safe (ESD) ceramics. Click

to obtain properties for these materials.
Located
near Austin, Texas, PECeramics provides strong technical support to
meet the needs of semiconductor fabs and equipment rebuilders
worldwide. Our capabilities include reverse engineering--utilizing our
state-of-the-art CNC coordinate measurement machine (CMM)--to product
design and redesign.
Do you require a modification or repair
to an existing ceramic part? PEC has the engineering expertise to
offer quick-turn grinding services—as fast as 24 hours in some
cases—to keep your process running.
Product Focus: Ceramic End
Effectors/Vacuum Arms
Why replace metal end effectors with ceramic materials?
1) Metal arms can bend and do not possess the stiffness of ceramic
materials.
2) Ceramics are a cost effective solution--in some cases less
expensive than metals.
3) Reduced particulate contamination.
4) Improved performance at elevated temperatures.
PEC’s unique profile grinding, glass bonding, and lapping
technologies allows us to produce single- or double-vacuum channel end
effectors while maintaining the critical seal between the lid and
vacuum channel.
