FFKM for the Semiconductor Industry
The semiconductor industry demands sealing materials that can withstand extreme chemicals, plasma exposure, high temperatures, and ultra-clean environments. FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) O-rings, gaskets, custom parts, and tubes are widely recognized as the premier solution for semiconductor manufacturing due to their exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low contamination properties.
FFKM materials are commonly used in plasma etching, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), wet processing, and gas delivery systems, where exposure to aggressive chemistries such as fluorine-based plasmas, acids, and solvents is routine. In these environments, standard elastomers quickly degrade, while FFKM O-rings, gaskets, and custom parts maintain sealing integrity and extend service life.
At Canyon Components, Canrez® FFKM semiconductor-grade materials are engineered to provide low particle generation, low extractables, and excellent resistance to plasma and aggressive chemicals. Compared to Kalrez®, Chemraz®, and Simriz®, Canrez® offers a strong combination of performance, availability, and cost efficiency, helping semiconductor manufacturers reduce downtime and improve yield.
Canyon Components supports both standard and highly specialized requirements, including micro O-rings, precision molded components, custom gaskets, and complex assemblies, ensuring compatibility with advanced semiconductor equipment. Our engineering team works closely with customers to select the optimal compound and design for each process environment.
Common names include: FFKM, Perfluoroelastomer, Perfluorinated Rubber. Trade names: Canrez®, Kalrez®, Chemraz®, Simriz®, Parofluor®.
