Built for Semiconductor Equipment Teams

Ultra-tight tolerances, contamination-free delivery, and full documentation on every order.

Ultra-Precision Tolerances

We hold ±0.0001 inches on critical wafer-handling surfaces. Our CMMs verify every critical dimension before a part leaves the shop.

Cleanroom-Compatible Packaging

Parts ship in particle-free packaging with cleaning documentation. We follow semiconductor packaging standards so your receiving team stays contamination-free.

CMM Inspection Every Order

Every critical feature is measured and documented before shipping. CMM reports go with every semiconductor order so your incoming QC can verify without re-measuring.

Fast Prototype Turnaround

Most prototype orders ship in 5 to 7 business days. Complex semiconductor parts may take 7 to 10. Rush available — tell us your tool qual timeline.

Tips for Semiconductor & Electronics Teams in Berkeley

What engineers buying CNC parts in Berkeley should know.

CITRIS and BWRC drive chip research.

UC Berkeley's CITRIS and Berkeley Wireless Research Center lead RISC-V and next-gen semiconductor research. Test fixtures and probe components need sub-thousandth accuracy.

LBNL Molecular Foundry requires DOE traceability.

The Molecular Foundry fabricates semiconductor materials at atomic scale. Material certs, lot traceability, and contamination-controlled packaging are non-negotiable.

Rigetti quantum components need cryogenic-grade machining.

Quantum processor housings operate at millikelvin temperatures. Confirm your shop machines high-purity aluminum and oxygen-free copper for cryogenic assemblies.
