Project Background

Upgrade of ultra pure water system at a 12 inch wafer fab in Shanghai


This project is located in Shanghai and belongs to a professional enterprise engaged in 12 inch wafer 

foundry. In order to meet the strict requirements of advanced processes for ultra pure water quality, 

the factory has launched a technical transformation of the terminal polishing unit. The total investment 

of the project is 80 million yuan, with a construction period of 9 months. The goal is to upgrade the 

core links to ensure that the quality of the produced water is better than the industry SEMI standards, 

and to ensure that the water used for wafer washing reaches a high level of purity.


Technology application

Metal sintered filter element as a key unit of the system

24

This project is equipped with 22 high-precision metal powder sintering filter elements after the terminal 

polishing mixed bed. These filter elements serve as the filtering barriers at the end of the system, responsible 

for removing trace particles, residual ions, and total organic carbon from water, providing reliable support 

for the overall water quality improvement of the system through stable and efficient operation.


Product Features

Metal powder sintered filter cartridge

The metal powder sintered filter element is formed by high-temperature sintering process and 

belongs to porous metal filter material, with the following characteristics:


High precision filtering performance

It can effectively intercept micron level and even submicron level particle impurities, ensuring 

the cleanliness of water bodies;


Good mechanical strength

Stable structure, strong pressure resistance, suitable for high pressure differential working 

conditions;


Corrosion and high temperature resistance

The material selection is diverse and can adapt to various chemical media and high-temperature 

environments;


Long service life

The sintering process endows the filter element with good anti clogging and washability, 

reducing the frequency of replacement;


Low shedding, low pollution

The material is pure and avoids introducing secondary pollution, suitable for ultra pure water systems.


As a typical case of technological upgrading, this project demonstrates the potential application of 

metal sintered materials in high-tech industries such as semiconductors and electronic chemicals. 

Through this renovation, the company has achieved an improvement in the quality of ultrapure 

water, providing support for the yield and product reliability of chip manufacturing.


The metal sintering fine chemical industry project is always committed to providing customers 

with high-performance sintering filtration products and system solutions, helping enterprises achieve 

technological progress and process upgrades.


Driven by technology and based on quality. The application of metal sintered filter cartridges in 

ultrapure water systems is a reflection of the combination of material technology and industrial 

demand.


In the future, we will continue to promote innovative applications of sintering technology in 

different industries, providing support for the continuous progress of China's manufacturing industry.
