FUCHS Semiconductor Metalworking Fluids: Semiconductor Machining Fluid Solutions Certified by ASML and DMG MORI
Advanced semiconductor processes, EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) equipment, and machining of vacuum components all impose strict requirements on consumables: high cleanliness, low outgassing, and no residue. If a machining fluid has issues such as elemental precipitation or excessive volatile emissions, it can easily contaminate lithography equipment and vacuum chambers, leading to workpiece scrap, equipment downtime, and other losses.
Consumable certification in the semiconductor industry is a direct reflection of the performance and compliance of metalworking fluids. ASML (Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography) is a leading semiconductor equipment company; it sets very high thresholds for metalworking fluids in terms of elemental control, low-outgassing performance, and optical component compatibility. DMG MORI (a high-end precision machine tool manufacturer) focuses on lubrication and cooling, emulsion stability, tool compatibility, and overall machine-tool compatibility in its certification process.

I. ASML Certification: Strict Pollution Control, Compatible with Lithography Equipment
ECOCOOL GLOBAL 1000 is a high-performance, low-outgassing, high-cleanliness metalworking cutting fluid specially developed by FUCHS for semiconductor, aerospace, medical, and other demanding fields, and it performs particularly well in semiconductor cleanliness and stability.
ECOCOOL GLOBAL 1000 has passed certification from ASML Grade 2, Applied Materials, and other leading semiconductor equipment manufacturers, fully meeting high-cleanliness machining standards. This product can strictly control 14 HIO (hydrogen-induced outgassing) elements, greatly reducing contamination risks and ensuring the safety of core equipment; it achieves low outgassing, high cleanliness, no residue, and easy cleaning, making it suitable for critical components such as vacuum chambers, valves, and precision carriers, while stably maintaining surface finish and machining accuracy. It is a cutting fluid well suited for high-end semiconductor processes.
This cutting fluid contains no boron, MEA (monoethanolamine), secondary amines, chlorinated paraffins, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, or other restricted substances, and complies with REACH (the EU Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals Regulation) and TSCA (the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act), among other global chemical regulations. In addition, ECOCOOL GLOBAL 1000 has low odor and is non-irritating to the skin, effectively improving the workshop environment and reducing the risk of allergies for operators. Its excellent lubrication performance can effectively extend tool life and reduce unit cost.
In addition, the ECOCOOL IDM series jointly developed by FUCHS and DMG MORI can also meet ASML Grade 1 standards, satisfying the high-cleanliness requirements of advanced semiconductor processes and adapting to high-precision workpieces such as EUV core components.
II. DMG MORI Certification: Joint Development, Matched with the Clean ONE Solution
DMG MORI is a core equipment manufacturer for semiconductor precision machining. Its Clean ONE solution is built on the concept of “equipment, lubrication, and process as a unified cleanliness system.” DMG MORI and FUCHS have formed a deep strategic partnership, and in the semiconductor sector they prioritize the jointly developed ECOCOOL IDM series cutting fluids, creating a high-cleanliness golden combination of “Clean ONE machine tool + IDM series cutting fluid.”
- ECOCOOL SCE-IDM, SCS-IDM, and SCG-IDM are a full range of cutting fluid products developed specifically for high-cleanliness semiconductor requirements; they do not contain 14 HIO-sensitive elements and meet ASML Grade 1 requirements;
- ECOCOOL SCE-IDM and SCS-IDM are recommended for machining metals, plastics, and composite materials;
- ECOCOOL SCG-IDM is recommended for machining technical glass, ceramics, and plastics, and was developed specifically for DMG MORI ULTRASONIC equipment.


III. A Tiered Product Matrix Covering the Full Spectrum of Semiconductor Machining Scenarios
- ECOCOOL GLOBAL 1000 is the mainstream general-purpose product, suitable for milling, grinding, and other conventional processes, and is widely used in mass production of standard precision semiconductor components.
- The ECOCOOL IDM series is positioned for high-precision cutting, with multiple sub-models tailored to machining metal, composite materials, technical glass, and ceramics, and is exclusively matched to DMG MORI’s high-end equipment.
- At the same time, FUCHS also provides the NYETORR® series of vacuum greases, with a temperature range of -75°C to 250°C, low outgassing, and strong stability; these can be used for robot bearings, linear guides, and other equipment components.
High cleanliness, low outgassing, and high stability are the core requirements of semiconductor manufacturing. With dual certification from ASML and DMG MORI, combined with a comprehensive product matrix and integrated service system, FUCHS semiconductor metalworking fluids deeply align with high-cleanliness machining concepts and cover the full range of component machining and equipment maintenance scenarios.
