ABOUT US
Since joining the KURABO Group in 1987, we have developed our business as a manufacturer of semiconductor-related cleaning equipment.
Our main products are final cleaning equipment used in the manufacture of silicon wafers, a semiconductor material. In addition to that core product, we also focus on semiconductor-related equipment such as filter cleaning equipment for semiconductors.
Silicon wafers are an indispensable material in the manufacture of semiconductors and are used as the base substrates for semiconductor integrated circuit chip.
After cleaning, invisible nano-level fine circuits are written on the silicon wafers, and the circuits are separated to create semiconductor chips.
Semiconductor integrated circuit chips are indispensable for smartphones, personal computers, various sensors, home appliances, automobiles, watches, and all other industries, and are used in a wide variety of places and have become indispensable.
In recent years, semiconductors have undergone remarkable development, and companies with specialized technologies in each process provide their products and manufacture cutting-edge semiconductors.
In order to manufacture high-performance semiconductors, silicon wafers need to be cleaned to the ultimate cleanliness, and after cleaning, they undergo a special drying process. Our final cleaning equipment is used in this final process.
We deliver tailor-made equipment from design to software development and manufacturing according to customer requirements.
Although we are a company of only 30 or so people, we have a long track record of delivering equipment to major companies in Japan and overseas, solving problems and evolving our equipment in the process.
We will continue to provide equipment that satisfies our customers through continuous creativity and ingenuity.
