π Wafer Boat Solutions for Semiconductor Processing
Wafer boats (also called quartz wafer boats) are essential components in high-temperature semiconductor wafer processing. These high-purity fused silica carriers are engineered to hold silicon wafers securely during oxidation, diffusion, and CVD processes. Our quartz wafer boats for semiconductor applications support ultra-clean handling, precise wafer alignment, and consistent thermal performance.
Made from 99.99% fused silica, each wafer boat offers excellent chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and compatibility with cleanroom environments. Whether used in chip fabrication, photovoltaic panel production, or laboratory settings, FGQuartz’s custom wafer boats are designed to withstand harsh thermal and chemical conditions.
π Improve yield, enhance thermal uniformity, and eliminate contamination with every quartz wafer boat you deploy.
π§ Quartz Boats for Semiconductor Processing Applications
πΉ Quartz Boats for Diffusion and Oxidation Furnaces
In semiconductor manufacturing, quartz wafer boats are used to hold wafers during high-temperature diffusion and oxidation cycles. These fused silica wafer carriers maintain even wafer spacing and allow for optimal gas flow inside vertical and horizontal furnaces.
πΉ High Temperature Wafer Boats for Solar Panel Production
In the photovoltaic industry, high-temperature wafer boats hold solar substrates during dopant diffusion, thermal annealing, and thin-film coating. The thermally stable quartz wafer holders offer repeatable reliability for solar cell production lines.
πΉ Wafer Boats in R&D and Experimental Labs
Quartz boats for cleanroom use are popular in research labs for plasma treatment, material testing, and high-temperature synthesis. These semiconductor wafer carriers support precision experiments with aggressive acids and elevated heat conditions.
πΉ Industrial-Grade Quartz Boats
Used in ceramics, optical glass, and metallurgy, these custom quartz wafer boats function as durable carriers for advanced heat treatments and chemically intense processes.
