NBK, or Nabeya Bi-tech Kaisha, is a prominent name in the world of semiconductors already across the world. With an impressive inventory boasting 90,000 standard products and over 80,000 custom solutions, NBK has garnered global recognition for its commitment to ‘creative manufacturing.’
Leading the charge in transforming the semiconductor sector, NBK is ready to introduce its newest innovation: a series of specialized screws crafted specifically to cater to the distinct requirements of Indian semiconductor manufacturing. What really sets NBK’s innovation apart is their careful focus on every little detail and their commitment to solving the tough challenges that come with meeting SEMI Standard regulations and working in harsh, corrosive conditions.
The brand has taken initiatives to curate products along with a few customized options which can be easily adopted by semiconductor equipment manufacturers across the world. At the core of NBK’s product lineup are its Vented Screws, carefully designed to excel in various shapes and materials, with a focus on optimal performance in a vacuum environment.
The gas release holes in NBK’s screws for vacuum devices are processed to minimize the impact on metal structures, reducing the risk of brittle fracture during use and suppressing the generation of outgas in a vacuum environment. All vented screws undergo standard cleaning in a cleanroom. The cleaning process takes place in a washing room with an ISO Class 7 (Class 10000) cleanliness level, where airborne particulates and microorganisms are monitored to ensure cleanliness control.
There are two cleaning options depending on the material: Ultrasonic cleaning and IPA cleaning. After cleanroom washing, products are double packaged with a vacuum on a clean bench within a cleanroom environment. The cleanliness levels inside the cleanroom are ISO Class 6 (Class 500), and the clean bench used for packaging maintains an ISO Class 4 (Class 10) cleanliness level.
These processes result in the production of high-quality products, prepared for use in a controlled cleanroom environment. This is the reason NBK has become a highly sought-after manufacturer worldwide, recognized as a leading name in this sector, adept at solving problems and challenges faced by the industry.
Their production of screws across various materials, designs and thread sizes has been due to their expertise in this field. They conduct extensive case studies and have created the screws as per the environment. For instance, they have developed screws made of tantalum, silicon carbide, MAT21, and other materials, exhibiting high corrosion resistance against chemicals such as process gases and wafer cleaning agents.
This innovation is attracting attention from the semiconductor industry. This attention to detail in the domain of screw manufacturing for the semiconductor sector is due to the company’s long-standing legacy in this field. It all began in 1560 in Japan where the crux of the business revolves around “Evolve Rapidly, Adapt Swiftly”. These philosophies work towards building a reputation that goes beyond the present.
It is a process of building goodwill, that will last a few centuries ahead. As a brand Nabeya Bi-tech Kaisha, has become more than just a manufacturer specializing in mechanical components. It has become a name to reckon with respect for its passion to innovate with prime focus on output and even leading to packing process. This is what has enabled the company to gain immense following across the world.
Originating in Seki City, Gifu, Japan, the company has also produced specialized industrial components such as couplings, machine elements, along with special screws. Their FA solutions and ever-expanding product range is owing to the DNA of craftsmanship that runs in their blood urging The Imperial Court of Japan to confer on them the title of ‘Licensed Foundry Craftsmen.’
Such a legacy in manufacturing has been their strength as the clients can see from the way they design and manufacture each of their vacuum screws. Their passion towards giving the clients the solutions they need, and as per the industry needs, have been the reason for their special screws to become the talk of the semi-conductor world now.
