Semiconductor Device Casting and Prototyping
We are familiar with the semiconductor industry from our many years of experience and with many semiconductor industry customers. Our innovative engineering and design capabilities have made us a leading foundry supplier for semiconductor applications.
Despite the inherent porosity of the casting, there are ample opportunities outside the chamber regardless of the process. For decades, we have helped customers transform large die cast parts into castings with secondary operations, typically reducing costs by 40-60% while improving quality and performance. These parts can be small or one of the largest we manufacture, with high structural integrity, design freedom and reduced costs.

One-Stop Service
At Elimold, we specialize in being a “one-stop shop” for your semiconductor die casting needs. With an in-house team of experts, we offer mold design engineering services, complete mold manufacturing, and mold maintenance. In addition to handling any molding needs, our die casting department also has prototype and full production capabilities. This allows us to turn your ideas into as many semiconductor die cast parts as possible.
Turnkey Capabilities
We have implemented turnkey solutions to simplify the customer experience. Elimold is responsible for nearly every step of production, from the time we receive a quote to final delivery. From that point on, we become the customer’s single point of contact, streamlining production and making everything run as smoothly as possible.
From Prototype to Production
Elimold works with customers to turn their part concepts into full production. We maintain an open line of communication during the prototyping phase to ensure that the prototype meets the customer’s design requirements before mass producing the semiconductor part.
Project Versatility
Elimold can take on semiconductor projects of all sizes. We have extensive experience, from the simplest brackets for semiconductor applications to complex, advanced parts for the industrial sector, and everything in between.
Types of Semiconductor Die Casting Processes at Elimold
Our low-volume casting services include high-quality custom castings with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. The 5 die casting processes we use include:
- Green Sand Castings
- Investment Castings (Lost Wax – Solid Molds)
- No Bake (Air-Solid) Sand Castings
- Permanent Mold Castings
- Rubber Plaster Mold Castings
Advanced Thermal Spray Chamber Components
Do you have a particle or aluminum fluoride (ALF) problem in your semiconductor parts? Is it likely to be released from your aluminum chamber components? The best solution is to use state-of-the-art Al2O3 or Y2O3 thermal spray chamber components. Many modern semiconductor OEM tools are Y2O3 coated, but we are able to apply this new technology to existing 200mm chamber components.
The powder used is very pure to maintain the cleanliness of the process. Contact us for more information on this technology. We can coat entire chamber packages, baffles, anodes, bellows covers, window deposits, and more.
Surface finishing
- Anodizing: A new anodizing film generation method developed using a special electrolyte and electrolysis method that can obtain an oxide film that is harder than the usual anodizing film. In addition, we accept inquiries for various hard anodizing.
- Thermal spraying: The coating material is melted or softened by heating, and then becomes fine particles, which impact on the coated object. Thermal spraying is a technology that forms a coating by solidifying and depositing flat crushed particles. We can cope with various types of thermal spraying, such as air plasma spraying, reduced pressure plasma spraying, and high-velocity flame spraying.
- Electroplating: High-efficiency electroplating based on non-electrolytic plating method, which has excellent adhesion strength and conductivity, which cannot be achieved by conventional methods such as sputtering, vapor deposition, and printing calcination.
- Non-electrolytic plating method for Al, ceramic, Al/SiC, resin materials: Ion plating blows reactive gas (nitrogen, acetylene, etc.) into the place where the plating material is heated, evaporated, and ionized. In this case, metal ions and reactive gases produce hard metal compound particles. This is a method of producing a hard coating by causing particles to very strongly impact the surface of a frame to which a negative (-) voltage is applied. We respond to inquiries regarding various coatings.
Test capabilities
- Vacuum: vacuum leak, ultimate vacuum, gas discharge characteristics.
- Thermal: Surface temperature distribution measured by infrared thermal imager (inside vacuum chamber), heater temperature distribution measured by various temperature measuring tools, and wafer stage.
- Dimensions: Various measuring instruments, such as 2D measuring instrument, 3D measuring instrument, surface roughness meter, coating thickness gauge, etc.
- Surface analysis: SEM, EPMA, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, sequential plasma spectrometer
