Leak-Tight CNC Machining for Vacuum Systems

Semiconductor vacuum systems demand parts where every sealing surface, O-ring groove, and flange interface is machined to leak-tight standards. A scratch on a sealing surface or a rough O-ring groove can cause process contamination and costly tool downtime. We machine aluminum 6061-T6, 316L stainless, and Hastelloy C-276 to tolerances as tight as ±0.0005" with surface finishes below Ra 16 microinches on all sealing interfaces. Every part ships with full dimensional inspection reports.

1

Semiconductor-Grade Materials

We source and machine aluminum 6061-T6, 316L stainless steel, and Hastelloy C-276 — all with full mill certs and material traceability for vacuum system documentation.

2

Ultra-Tight Tolerances

We hold ±0.0005" on O-ring groove dimensions and flatness within 0.0005" on sealing surfaces. Every part is CMM verified before shipping.

Cleanroom-Compatible Docs

Dimensional inspection reports, material certs, and surface finish verification data. Documentation your quality team needs for vacuum system qualification and helium leak test correlation.

Serving the Vacuum Equipment Industry

Every semiconductor process tool — whether it performs deposition, etch, implant, or inspection — relies on vacuum systems. Chamber bodies, lids, flanges, and valves must be machined to exacting standards to maintain the ultra-high vacuum environments that enable sub-nanometer processing.

Equipment OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers need machine shops that understand O-ring groove specifications, ConFlat knife-edge geometry, and the surface finish requirements that determine whether a chamber will pass helium leak test.

We machine vacuum components for equipment builders across the US. Instant AI pricing the moment you upload your file.

Applied Materials

World's largest semiconductor equipment maker. Their CVD, PVD, and etch platforms depend on precision vacuum chamber components and sealing interfaces.

Lam Research

Leading etch and deposition equipment maker. Lam tools use multi-station vacuum chambers that require precisely machined lids, bodies, and transfer interfaces.

KLA Corporation

Process control and inspection leader. Many KLA tools operate under vacuum for electron-beam and X-ray inspection, requiring precision chamber components.

ASML

EUV lithography systems operate in extreme vacuum environments. Chamber components require the tightest tolerances and cleanest finishes in the industry.

Tokyo Electron (TEL)

Major semiconductor equipment OEM whose etch and thermal processing tools rely on precision-machined vacuum chambers and load lock assemblies.

Built for Vacuum Equipment Teams

Vacuum components need a shop that understands sealing surfaces as well as machining.

Leak-Tight Sealing Surfaces

Every O-ring groove and sealing face is machined to specification with surface finishes below Ra 16 microinches. We verify groove dimensions on CMM and inspect surfaces under magnification.

Full Material Traceability

Every order ships with mill certs and heat lot numbers. Your records are solid from raw material to finished vacuum component — ready for equipment qualification audits.

CMM Inspection on Every Order

We verify every critical dimension before shipping — O-ring groove depth and width, flatness, bore diameter, and bolt pattern position. Reports go with every part.

Fast Prototype Turnaround

Your equipment development schedule does not wait. Vacuum system prototypes in 5 to 7 days so your program keeps moving. Rush available on simple geometries.

Questions from Vacuum Equipment Teams

We machine aluminum 6061-T6, 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy C-276, and Inconel for semiconductor vacuum components. All materials are sourced with full mill certs and material traceability.
Yes. We machine O-ring grooves to Parker and AS568 specifications with surface finishes below Ra 16 microinches in the groove. Groove depth, width, and radius are CMM verified on every part.
We hold flatness within 0.001 inches on sealing surfaces, positional tolerances of ±0.0005 inches on port locations, and O-ring groove dimensions within ±0.0005 inches.
Yes. We machine ConFlat and KF/ISO-KF flange interfaces to standard specifications. Knife-edge features on CF flanges are machined to the surface finish and geometry needed for metal seal compression.
Yes. We machine gate valve housings from aluminum and stainless steel with bore tolerances of ±0.0005 inches, sealing surface finishes below Ra 16 microinches, and port patterns per your specifications.
Vacuum sealing surfaces typically require finishes below Ra 16 microinches for elastomer seals and below Ra 8 microinches for metal seals. We achieve both and verify with surface profilometry before shipping.
Yes. We machine viewport frames from stainless steel and aluminum with precision bore fits for glass or sapphire windows, O-ring seal grooves, and bolt patterns. All critical dimensions are CMM verified.
Most vacuum system prototypes ship in 5 to 7 business days. Rush orders on simpler geometries can ship in 3 to 4 days. Tell us your deadline when you upload and we will confirm feasibility.
