High-Performance Interconnects for Semiconductor Manufacturing
Precision-Engineered Cable Assemblies and RF Solutions for Critical Fab Equipment
Aptiv designs and manufactures interconnect solutions for use in the semiconductor industry. We work with the world’s leading semiconductor OEMs and equipment providers to support the highest levels of wafer fab and test technology. Custom cables, connectors and RF assemblies are designed to meet the extreme electrical, thermal and mechanical requirements of semiconductor environments, including plasma etch and deposition systems, automated test equipment (ATE), RF power delivery and much more.
High performance, design accuracy and reliability are imperative to the successful and profitable operation of semiconductor manufacturing tools. Aptiv’s interconnect solutions are designed to reduce or eliminate loss and RF reflection, as well as address high voltage and high current needs, helping to ensure maximum uptime and process control. Thanks to Aptiv’s vertically integrated, end-to-end manufacturing expertise, we can support both rapid prototyping and high-volume production with predictable quality levels and fast, responsive engineering support.
