Reason why the SEMI F20 standard puts a limit to the grain size of SS

Reason why the SEMI F20 standard puts a limit to the grain size of SS

Reason why the SEMI F20 standard puts a limit to the grain size of SS

(OP)
Hi,

I am new to the semiconductor industry. Hence the question. What is the reason behind the SEMI F20 standard (applicable to material used in Semiconductor Industry) recommends that the grain size of the material should be size 4 or finer? If the smaller grains size material meets the strength and chemistry requirements, Is that not sufficient?


Thanks!

RE: Reason why the SEMI F20 standard puts a limit to the grain size of SS

316L is used for majority of gas delivery systems in Semiconductor industry. the components of gas delivery are typically machined, electropolished and welded. Grain size not only directly affects strengths, but also affects machinability, electropolishing, or even weldability. Smaller grain would normally be better in all perspectives.

Thanks MagBen!

From original question I am not sure, if it is clear for AnsAvi, that higher number means smaller grain size.

Dalinus,

I appreciate you checking. I do understand the relationship between grain size and grain size number.

White Paper - Reshoring Prototyping and Production
In this whitepaper, we'll provide insight into why and when it makes sense for U.S. manufacturers to reshore prototyping and production, and how companies can leverage the benefits of working with local design, prototype, and manufacturing partners during the pandemic and beyond. Download Now
Engineering Report - Top 10 Defect Types in Production
This 22-page report from Instrumental identifies the most common production defect types discovered in 2020, showcases trends from 2019 to 2020, and provides insights on how to prevent potential downtime in 2021. Unlike other methods, Instrumental drives correlations between a variety of data sources to help engineers find and fix root causes. Download Now
White Paper - Addressing Tooling and Casting Requirements at the Design Stage
Several of the tooling and casting requirements of a part can be addressed at the design stage. If these requirements are not addressed at the design stage, lot of time is spent in design iteration when the design reaches the die caster. These design issues lead to increase in time and cost of production leading to delay in time to market and reduced profits for the organization. Download Now
