Modern electronic devices not only require increasingly stringent controls over wafer geometry in terms of flatness, specimen parallelism and thickness, but also demand a very high quality surface finish on the sample as preparation for subsequent processes.

In order to achieve this aim, Logitech has developed advanced chemical polishing equipment as a finishing process for a wide range of materials in order to achieve excellent surface polish with minimal surface and sub-surface damage to the crystal lattice structure.

The chemicals used in these chemical polishing processes, such as Bromine Methanol, Peroxide Alkaline or acid etches, are highly aggressive and require the use of corrosion resistant equipment which is specifically designed for the purpose and which incorporates appropriate safety features. For more detailed information regarding chemical polishing, visit our chemical polishing knowledge base.

A summary of the features which are of major interest to chemical polishing laboratories includes:

• Corrosion resistantconstruction from Polypropylene, PVDF and epoxy painted polyurethane
• Adaptable deck arrangements to accommodate varying sample sizes and geometrics
• Careful attention to safety aspects and operator convenience
• Suitability for most types of aggressive etching agents (e.g. Bromine Methanol)
