Precision Component Etching & Cleaning
What makes us better
Silfex’s state-of-the art facilities and clean rooms use a variety of acids and other chemicals to achieve best-in-class cleanliness on our machined silicon components. We meet industry standard cleaning requirements on components with varying shapes and sizes using automated clean and etch systems.
A wide range of chemical and mechanical processes allow Silfex to develop custom methods to meet increasing customer needs. We specialize in cleaning high aspect ratio elements on silicon components such as submicron gas holes, blind holes, and threaded features, keeping surfaces free of contamination and stains.
Our facilities, processes and focus on precision results in innovative cleaning solutions and superior cleanliness of silicon components.
