PEI (Ultem®) components offer excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and electrical insulation for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Our precision CNC machined PEI parts are widely used in wafer handling systems, semiconductor test fixtures, and high-performance equipment components. | |||||||||
PEI semiconductor components are precision parts machined from polyetherimide for chip-test, electronics assembly, laboratory, and process-equipment applications. Common geometries include test nests, probe support structures, terminal carriers, inspection windows, insulating frames, sensor mounts, connector bodies, and lightweight equipment hardware. SABIC ULTEM 1000 is often evaluated when dielectric insulation, dimensional stability, flame performance, and amber translucency are useful in the same component. ULTEM 2300 adds glass-fiber reinforcement for fixtures or structures that need greater rigidity and lower deflection. JUTAI manufactures custom CNC machined PEI semiconductor parts from customer drawings rather than offering a fixed catalog shape. Process planning considers thin-wall movement, hole position, fastener load, burr control, static requirements, and inspection access. Grade selection must also reflect the actual process chemistry, temperature, cleanliness specification, and electrical function. Prototypes and repeat batches can be produced for semiconductor equipment builders, test engineering teams, automation integrators, and electronic-device manufacturers requiring dependable, repeatable polymer performance.
Stable insulating structures for semiconductor test and electronic assembly equipment
Amber ULTEM 1000 enables visual checking through selected walls and housings
ULTEM 2300 offers reinforced rigidity for loaded fixture frames and mounting components
Low moisture absorption supports more consistent dimensions than many general-purpose plastics
CNC machining allows custom pockets, terminal patterns, windows, ribs, and interfaces
Material options can address full insulation, reinforced stiffness, or controlled static behavior
Prototype production avoids mandatory injection-mold investment during equipment development
Semiconductor grade selection should follow electrical role, device sensitivity, fixture load, process temperature, cleaning media, particle limits, and visual-inspection needs. Conductive, dissipative, reinforced, and unfilled polymers must not be treated as interchangeable.
Material Grade | Engineering Characteristics | Application Fit |
|---|---|---|
PEEK Natural | Virgin PEEK provides stronger high-temperature and chemical performance than PEI while retaining excellent dielectric isolation. | Choose for hot test interfaces, aggressive process exposure, or fine insulating hardware that exceeds the intended ULTEM duty. |
PEEK CF30 | Carbon-fiber PEEK resists creep and transfers heat efficiently, but its conductive nature changes the electrical design. | Applicable to grounded mechanical carriers and rigid equipment structures kept away from isolated terminals. |
PEEK GF30 | Glass-filled PEEK supports sustained fixture loads with reduced thermal movement across precision mounting locations. | Useful for robust semiconductor tooling where stiffness outweighs translucency and ultra-fine surface requirements. |
ESD PEEK | A dissipative PEEK formulation allows accumulated charge to decay through a specified resistance range. | Selected for wafer, device, or electronics handling features that require controlled static management. |
PEI ULTEM 1000 | Unreinforced ULTEM combines dielectric performance, stable dimensions, inherent flame resistance, and translucent amber appearance. | Recommended for terminal supports, inspection housings, test nests, insulators, and moderate-temperature semiconductor fixtures. |
PEI ULTEM 2300 | Thirty-percent glass reinforcement increases PEI modulus, fastener support, and resistance to fixture deflection. | Best for structural frames, carriers, and equipment mounts after fiber exposure and electrical spacing are reviewed. |
PEI machining is organized around functional electronics datums rather than cosmetic outlines. Contact locations, board interfaces, viewing windows, and mounting points are established before thin walls and weight-reduction pockets receive their final cuts.

JUTAI brings 15 years of high-performance-plastics experience to semiconductor components and fixtures. The available portfolio includes SABIC ULTEM PEI, Victrex PEEK, PSU, and PI; qualified local features may be controlled to ±0.005 mm when material condition, geometry, and inspection capability support the requirement.
What are PEI semiconductor components?
They are ULTEM test fixtures, insulators, terminal carriers, sensor mounts, housings, frames, and equipment parts used in semiconductor and electronics production.
Why choose PEI ULTEM instead of metal for semiconductor equipment?
PEI reduces mass, provides electrical insulation, avoids corrosion, and can include translucent inspection areas without adding a separate dielectric coating.
Can JUTAI provide custom machining for PEI semiconductor parts?
Yes. JUTAI can machine device pockets, small holes, viewing windows, contact supports, ribs, threads, and equipment mounting interfaces from customer CAD files.
Should a semiconductor fixture use ULTEM 1000 or ULTEM 2300?
ULTEM 1000 favors insulation and translucency. ULTEM 2300 favors stiffness and load retention. Feature size, fiber exposure, and electrical spacing determine the grade.
What information is needed for a semiconductor-component quotation?
Send the drawing, temperature, cleaning chemistry, electrical or ESD requirement, critical datums, cleanliness expectations, inspection plan, and quantity.
Provide the semiconductor equipment model, controlled interfaces, electrical function, static requirement, temperature, and inspection criteria. JUTAI will review ULTEM grade, stress-sensitive geometry, and CNC feasibility.
