Zero thermal expansion Pore Free ceramics (ZPF)
ZPF (Zero thermal expansion Pore Free ceramics) is a revolutionary material achieving very low thermal expansion equivalent to recrystallized glass with ultralow thermal expansion while maintaining the high stiffness of ceramics.
It can be used for semiconductor manufacturing equipment (wafer exposure and reticle drawing) requiring nano-level control and cater to the stringent demands of users pursuing leading-edge technologies for miniaturization.
