Production machines for semiconductors or Integrated Circuits (ICs)

ICs are used in almost all smart products, both commercially and privately. For example, they are found in laptops, phones and other communication devices, smart cards, sensors and monitoring devices, control systems for cars, etc.

The production equipment for ICs is highly advanced, enabling the manufacture of ICs with increasingly smaller circuits (nanometre dimensions) for greater computing power and lower energy consumption.

Extreme precision and ultra-cleanliness (no dust particles or other molecular contamination) are essential.

The manufacturers (OEMs) of this IC production equipment are committed to innovation in order to keep pushing the boundaries, which requires substantial expertise (people) and resources.

By working with VDL Klima, many OEMs have been able to focus on their core technology and outsource the remaining innovation to partner VDL Klima.
