CNC Machined Photolithography Components for Semiconductor Teams
Lithography teams in Raleigh need components with sub-micron geometric accuracy and thermal stability. We machine aluminum and Invar reticle stages, wafer chucks, and lens mounts to ±0.0002" on critical features. CMM inspection on every order.
Litho-Grade Materials
Aluminum, Invar, and Super Invar for thermal stability.
Ultra-Precision Features
±0.0002" on air bearing surfaces and lens seats.
Litho QC Docs
CMM reports and material certs for your litho tool qualification.
The Triangle's Semiconductor Renaissance Is Real
Research Triangle semiconductor activity is surging. Wolfspeed's silicon carbide fab in Marcy feeds design teams in Durham, Cree's LED and power semiconductor legacy drives compound semiconductor machining demand, and IBM's RTP research campus pushes next-generation chip packaging that requires precision-machined test fixtures and prototype tooling.
RivCut serves Triangle semiconductor teams with 5-axis precision machining, exotic material capability, and the contamination controls your compound semiconductor programs demand.
