Semiconductor manufacturing operates at the edge of what’s physically possible. As process geometries shrink below 10 nanometers, even trace contaminants — particles, ions, organic compounds — can ruin a wafer. The valves used in a fab have to meet that standard. VTek Controls provides valves built for the surface finishes, material purity, and contamination control required in semiconductor wet process and ultrapure water systems, including crevice-free finishes, passivated wetted surfaces, and PFA-lined options for aggressive process chemistries.

Water is the lifeblood of a wafer fab — a single 300mm wafer can require thousands of gallons of deionized water to process, and modern fabs consume millions of gallons daily across utility, process, and reclamation systems. VTek valves serve every stage of the fab water cycle, from raw water intake through ultrapure polishing, point-of-use delivery, and wastewater reclamation.

VTek valves are designed to support the cleanliness and material standards that govern semiconductor manufacturing, helping fabs maintain process integrity, reduce particle shedding, and meet the water quality requirements that define modern chip production.
