One-Stop Semiconductor Wafer Manufacturing Solution

One of Mipox's core technologies is "polishing," and we provide a "one-stop solution service" centered on semiconductor wafer applications using our precision polishing technology. We handle prototyping, development applications, and small to medium-volume production.

By managing all wafer manufacturing processes (such as polishing processes) in-house, we arrange rational manufacturing processes. We meet customer requirements with appropriate quality and delivery times.

Common Customer Challenges

Need to request quotes for each process separately
Optimal precision for each manufacturing process is unclear
Uncertainty about optimal precision for each manufacturing process

Mipox's One-Stop Solution

Mipox proposes optimal manufacturing processes.
We arrange manufacturing processes utilizing internal and external resources to meet customer requirements, proposing appropriate processes.
Customers can obtain finished products (wafers, etc.) that meet their requirements with a single request.

Typically, when considering outsourcing semiconductor wafer manufacturing, complicated tasks such as quote requests, delivery time adjustments, and schedule management are required for each contractor existing in each manufacturing process.
Mipox's one-stop solution manages all of these, reducing customer burden and arranging rational manufacturing processes from quality, delivery time, and cost perspectives.

Inquiries about Precision Polishing Services

If you have any issues with precision polishing services, please feel free to consult us. Mipox, an expert in high-precision polishing, will propose solutions tailored to your challenges.

Q&A on Polishing Services

What types of polishing processes do you support?

We primarily handle edge polishing, surface polishing, and CMP. Additionally, we provide one-stop solution services that handle multiple processes together, including resist coating (wafer surface protection), size reduction processing, and precision cleaning.

What wafer sizes do you accommodate?

We handle special size wafers beyond SEMI standards. We flexibly accommodate square substrates, chip-shaped substrates, fan-shaped pieces, half-inch sizes, etc. Please consult us about your desired sizes and shapes.

How long does it take to fulfill a request?

Depending on the request, we can handle same-day turnaround in some cases.
Example:
Edge trimming of device wafers: Same-day
Surface polishing of ceramic substrates: Approximately 1 week
Wafer making from ingot: Approximately 1 month

Can I receive reports on polishing process results?

We provide appropriate documentation according to requirements. Please discuss during initial specification review.

What are typical delivery times?

Timeframes vary depending on content, quantity, difficulty, and current workload. Typical processing times:

  • Device wafer edge trimming: Several days after receiving wafers
  • Ceramic substrate surface polishing: About 1-several weeks
  • Wafer making from ingot: About 1-several months
