Description
O-rings are the most common type of seal used in the semiconductor industry and face the same quality and demand drivers as other components, equipment, and chemicals used in the manufacture of leading-edge and mature semiconductor devices. Although multiple elastomeric materials are used in o-ring service, fluoroelastomers (both FKM and FFKM) are becoming the de facto standard in semiconductor applications due to their excellent performance in extreme temperatures and resistance to degradation by a wide range of chemicals. This report focuses on the semiconductor perfluoroelastomer o-ring market. It will cover several aspects of this market:
- • Technical requirements driving the selection of perfluoroelastomers over traditional elastomer o-rings
- • Market size and forecast
- • Competitive landscape
