How to increase the use rate of anti-static rubber in the microelectronics industry
With the continuous use and renewal of large-scale integrated circuits, microelectronic devices have become more integrated, the width of the scribed lines has become narrower, and the sensitivity to static electricity has become higher and higher. The dielectric breakdown caused by electrostatic discharge is The most common and serious hazard in the manufacture of microelectronic products. Therefore, in the production and turnover process of microelectronics products, the use of anti-static materials is an indispensable anti-static measure. Among them, the anti-static rubber on the work surface, the storage surface of the turnover cart, the shelf, and the laying on the ground can effectively reduce In the production process, static electricity damages microelectronic products. However, due to the following reasons, the widespread use of anti-static rubber has had a greater impact.
(1) The product quality of anti-static rubber. The market competition is fierce, and the pursuit of low prices will inevitably sacrifice product quality. For example, the anti-static index of many products only maintains for three months and then fails. This practice of pursuing low prices and sacrificing quality is also common in other industries. exist. This cocooning practice is not only the prospect of the industry and the reputation of the manufacturer itself, but also the direct interests of customers.
(2) The R&D capabilities of manufacturers are relatively weak. In terms of material formulation research and development, most domestic manufacturers have very similar material formulations, and the raw materials used are also very different. Following a similar formula system, this determines that there is not much difference in material formulas, and the quality of the products made is not much different. Coupled with many low-cost dumping strategies that are quick and quick, it is inevitable to use low-quality and low-cost raw materials to make antistatic rubber. It is conceivable that the quality can go there.
(3) The lack of necessary paving applications and technical support has made the anti-static rubber greatly compromised in the effect of electrostatic protection, so that it is considered to be an anti-static effect that is not obvious, and there are optional anti-static materials. No matter how high-quality materials are not implemented with supporting technologies, they will indeed not achieve the best results. For example, the supporting grounding technology can effectively conduct static electricity and avoid the accumulation of static electricity.
Of course, another important reason is that many manufacturers have production capabilities in the production of materials, but lack marketing capabilities, and they rarely have a deep understanding of customer needs and solve problems from the perspective of customers. This is also an important reason why the market utilization rate of anti-static rubber is not particularly high.
