The third-generation ultrasonic machine tool is a new type of processing equipment that utilizes the energy generated by ultrasonic vibration to break materials and achieve efficient processing of ceramic materials. Compared with traditional machining methods, third-generation ultrasonic machine tools have several significant advantages:

 

1. High processing efficiency: The energy generated by ultrasonic vibration can quickly crush ceramic materials, greatly improving processing efficiency.

2. Low tool wear: Due to not directly using cutting tools during the machining process, tool wear is very small, reducing machining costs.

3. High machining accuracy: Ultrasonic vibration can achieve micrometer level machining accuracy, meeting the needs of the semiconductor industry for high-precision machining.

4. Good surface quality: Ultrasonic vibration machining can generate small heat affected zones and residual stresses, thereby ensuring the quality of the machined surface.

 

3、 The application of third-generation ultrasonic machine tools in the semiconductor industry

 

The application of third-generation ultrasonic machine tools in the semiconductor industry mainly focuses on the following aspects:

 

1. Processing of ceramic structural components: There are a large number of ceramic structural components in semiconductor equipment, such as silicon carbide Ceramic parts. These parts need to meet the requirements of high precision and high surface quality, and the third-generation ultrasonic machine tool can precisely meet these requirements.

2. Processing of alumina ceramics: Alumina ceramics are one of the commonly used materials in the semiconductor industry, but due to their high hardness and brittleness, traditional processing methods are difficult to meet the requirements. The third-generation ultrasonic machine tool can achieve efficient processing of alumina ceramics, meeting production needs.

3. Processing of complex structural parts: The structure of parts in semiconductor equipment is complex and diverse, and traditional processing methods are often difficult to cope with. The third-generation ultrasonic machine tool can achieve efficient processing of complex structural parts and improve production efficiency.
