Machining Examples

Silicon (Si) – Custom Machined Parts

Silicon is the most common semiconductor material. High-purity silicon is the material for both silicon wafers and semiconductor processing components to avoid particle and contamination.
Columnar crystal silicon is available in large sizes. It also has superior mechanical strength over a wide temperature range. Moreover, the machinability of columnar crystal silicon is better than that of single crystal silicon, and can be machined with less chipping and cracking.
