Our Company:

Established in 1963, D.M. Semiconductor Co. has a long history of providing services to the electronics, defense and medical industries. Our expertise ranged from discreet component sales to branding and testing. In 1979, in response to a customer need, we began to manufacture small 1,2 and 3 door acrylic desiccator cabinets. In the ensuing years, the component sales division has evolved into Data Memory Systems, a principle supplier of computer memory, hardware and peripherals.
Meantime, D.M. Semiconductor has expanded its line of quality desiccator cabinets and storage solutions. We now manufacture, in the USA, a complete line of stock size cabinets, glove boxes and benchtop exhaust hoods.

Our Commitment:

With over 40 years of continuous service, D.M. Semiconductor pledges to maintain the personal touch, unsurpassed quality and timely delivery that has been the foundation of the company since 1963

The Problems:

Much of todays high-tech manufacturing requires extensive use of integrated circuits and other sensitive devices and sub assemblies. These packages are very durable
but when stored in a typical manufacturing environment they become exposed to contaminants and moisture in the atmosphere causing corrosion and oxidation on the leads. The ultimate results can be poor solder contact and possible board failure.
|In addition, moisture laden components can physically crack or explode when subjected to the heat of the solder reflow process.

The Solution:

Clear,clean, moisture free storage in a DMS desiccator cabinet. A mini-cleanroom isolated from the typical warehouse and manufacturing atmosphere.
A cleanroom environment at a fraction of the cost. The input of nitrogen or compressed dry air into the cabinet displaces the contaminated air and provides a truely ideal clean, dry space for your components and devices. Due to reduced moisture within the cabinets, electrostatic charge becomes an issue for which DMS offers a permanent, transparent ESD coating which is applied in the manufacturing process. Grounded stainless steel bottom plates and shelving systems complete the ESD protection process.

ESD Elimination:

ATI -1700 is a hard transparent polyurethane clear coating that provides electrostatic discharge protection on surfaces and areas where ESD must be controlled. It provides a permanent static dissipative surface for Plexiglas, and desiccator cabinets when transparency is of utmost importance. (more info here)
