ABOUT US
Since joining the KURABO Group in 1987, we have developed our business as a manufacturer of semiconductor-related cleaning equipment. n recent years, our main products have been final cleaning equipment used in the manufacture of silicon wafers, a semiconductor material, but we are also focusing on semiconductor-related equipment such as filter cleaning equipment for semiconductors.
Most silicon wafers are disks with a diameter of 300 mm, but in order to be used as materials for semiconductors with cutting-edge microfabrication, silicon wafers must be flattened and cleaned to the utmost limit through cleaning. As an example, if a 300 mm diameter silicon wafer is placed over a 300 km area of Kyushu, there would be no more than 10 dust particles the size of glass marbles in all of Kyushu, which is truly the ultimate in cleaning.
Although we are a company of only about 30 people, we have a long track record of delivering equipment to major companies in Japan and overseas, solving problems and evolving our equipment over the years. And with our accumulated know-how in design, manufacturing, and software, and in a sense, our craftsmanship, we manufacture custom-made equipment and deliver it to our customers.
And we will continue to provide equipment that satisfies our customers with our continuous creativity and ingenuity.
