Semiconductors

Cleanroom-grade IT for fabs and test labs.

Environment: Fab floor, cleanroom & test lab
Uptime demand: 24/7 fab operations
Oversight: Change-control & qualification review
Documentation: Engineering-change records

Overview

The IT behind the yield curve

Yield lives or dies on data most fabs never see named as an IT problem: tool connectivity, metrology throughput and change control on every system touching the floor. Uniqcli fields cleanroom-compatible compute, tool-connectivity networking and high-throughput storage for fabs and test labs — sourced and documented to the same change-control discipline your process engineering group already runs.

Where we fit

Tool connectivity in, metrology data out

Fab networking has to move SECS/GEM and equipment-data traffic reliably between tools and the MES without introducing a cleanroom-incompatible cable run or enclosure — we spec connectivity and compute that fit the fab's particulate and static-control requirements, not a standard data-center build.

Metrology and inspection tools generate more data per wafer than most IT teams plan storage for. We size high-throughput storage to the actual data-generation rate of your test cells, so retention policy is a decision, not a capacity emergency.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can you supply cleanroom-compatible compute and displays, not standard office hardware?

Yes. We source enclosures, compute and displays rated for cleanroom particulate and static-control requirements, matched to your fab's classification.

Do you size storage against our actual metrology data-generation rate?

Yes. Send the tool count and inspection data rate per tool and we'll size ingest and archive storage to match, rather than a generic estimate.

Can equipment changes be documented against our internal change-control process?

Yes. We format delivery and configuration documentation to slot into existing engineering-change and qualification records instead of creating a parallel paper trail.

Can hardware purchases fit an ANSI/ESD S20.20 static-control program?

Yes. ANSI/ESD S20.20 is your facility's program, not a property of any single device — but the hardware you bring onto the floor can undermine it. We source ESD-safe peripherals, static-dissipative mats and accessories, and grounding hardware with the manufacturer's ratings documentation attached, and we flag any quoted item that lacks published ESD data so your program owner decides before it ships rather than after it's on a bench.

We operate under export-control obligations — how do purchases work?

The export decision stays with your trade-compliance team; we make it easier to take. For quoted equipment we confirm the export-classification data the manufacturer publishes — typically the ECCN under the EAR — and document country of origin on request. Where a program is ITAR-adjacent we confirm classification with the manufacturer before shipment rather than assuming. Uniqcli doesn't classify products itself or hold export approvals on your behalf; it delivers the paperwork your compliance process needs.

How do you keep counterfeit or gray-market parts out of a fab order?

By where we buy. Uniqcli sources through authorized distribution channels, which keeps the manufacturer's warranty intact and the provenance traceable — no broker stock, no gray-market substitutions when a lead time gets uncomfortable. If a line item can't be filled through an authorized channel, the quote says so and offers an alternative rather than quietly swapping the source. For organizations running counterfeit-avoidance requirements like AS5553, that channel discipline is the control that matters most.

Can you source FIPS-validated encrypted storage for design IP?

Yes. Self-encrypting drives and storage arrays are available with cryptographic modules validated under FIPS 140-2 or its successor FIPS 140-3 — the validation belongs to the product's crypto module and is listed on NIST's CMVP register with a certificate number. When a data-protection policy or a customer flow-down requires it, we quote SKUs whose validation we can point to by certificate number, and we note when a product claims FIPS compliance without an actual validated module.
