Wet Processing Knowledge Hub

Expert knowledge on wet benches, wet bench systems, and wet chemical process equipment.

What is a Wet Bench?

A wet bench is an industrial process system used for wet chemical processes such as cleaning, wafer cleaning, wet chemical etching, and surface treatment. It enables precise, reproducible, and controlled processing of materials under defined conditions such as chemical concentration, temperature, and process time.

PaceTec specializes in the development of wet benches, wet bench systems, and wet chemical process equipment for applications in semiconductor manufacturing, medical technology, microelectronics, and glass processing. The focus is on process-reliable, cleanroom-compatible, and automated solutions for high-end industrial applications.

On the following pages, you will find comprehensive technical information on wet bench fundamentals, wafer cleaning, RCA processes (SC1/SC2), megasonic and ultrasonic cleaning, HF dip, wet chemical etching (e.g., HF and KOH), as well as applications in medical technology and glass processing.
