2025 Best of West Exhibitor Award

Presented annually by SEMI Americas and Semiconductor Digest, the “Best of West” award was established to recognize innovative new products moving the semiconductor manufacturing industry forward. Winning entries are products or services that have a significant impact on the industry as a whole or in a particular application.

The Malema LFC-7650 Series Ultrasonic Flow Controller with integrated pressure transducer and state-of-the-art control algorithm provides ±1% metering accuracy with superior performance and repeatable control in all operating conditions. Offering a wide range of flow control from 50–4,000 mL/min, these closed-loop flow control modules are ideal for wet clean tools and post-CMP cleaning applications. 

"Malema's LFC-7650 Flow Controller is a game-changer for precision chemical delivery in semiconductor manufacturing, setting new benchmarks for accuracy, reliability and smart process control," said Pete Singer, Editor-in-Chief of Semiconductor Digest. "Congratulations to Malema for winning the Best of West competition."

Qnity, DuPont Electronics: Kalrez® 9400 – Booth 961

Kalrez® 9400 from DuPont™ is a next-generation perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) sealing solution specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of advanced dry strip and etch processes in semiconductor manufacturing. As plasma chemistries evolve to include higher concentrations of reactive oxygen and hydrogen radicals, traditional sealing materials face accelerated erosion, particle generation, and reduced service life. Kalrez® 9400 addresses these challenges with a unique formulation that balances low erosion rates, minimal particle shedding, and superior thermal and mechanical stability.

Malema, Part of PSG, a Dover Company: LFC-7650 Series Ultrasonic Flow Controller – Booth 665

The Malema LFC-7650 Series Ultrasonic Flow Controller with integrated pressure transducer and state-of-the-art control algorithm provides ±1% metering accuracy with superior performance and repeatable control in all operating conditions. Offering a wide range of flow control from 504,000 mL/min, these closed-loop flow control modules are ideal for wet clean tools and post-CMP cleaning applications.
