SHK Engineering and Consulting GmbH & Co. KG — Germany
Semiconductor Fab Core Design
SHK is a highly specialized engineering and consulting company dedicated exclusively to design and engineering of the fab core for new semiconductor fabs.
Since over three decades, SHK has focused exclusively on the semiconductor industry. Our senior engineers combine deep domain expertise with advanced engineering methodologies and the power of SemiSoft®, the leading platform for Fab Core Design and Data Management. Working as an integrated part of our clients' project teams, we design Fab Cores that set new standards for efficiency, flexibility and long-term operational performance.
SHK is intentionally different from large engineering firms. We deliberately focus on one single major project at a time, ensuring every client gets the full attention of our most senior engineers, from the first workshop through to the final design handover.
The experts you meet are the experts who deliver.
Our expertise lies in optimizing the Fab Core as an integrated system. Rather than working on individual disciplines in isolation, we optimize the interactions between the Cleanroom, AMHS, Equipment- and Subfab Layout, Process Laterals with Mains and Submains, and Hook-Up.
Every design result is developed by balancing technical, operational and commercial requirements to optimize startup and long-term Fab Core performance.
- 01Industrial Engineering
Cleanroom and subfab layouts, AMHS integration and ramp sequence.
- 02Fab building engineering and design
Cleanroom, subfab and interstitial levels with the right heights, that balance vibration, serviceability and cost.
- 03Facility Process Laterals engineering and design
Demand-driven design, based on actual tool utility requirements instead of rough benchmarks or estimates.
- 04Hook-Up engineering and design
Hook-up design standards and rule-driven approach, to ensure a fast and consistent hook-up, from P&ID and bill of materials to the tender package.
- 05SemiSoft® Fab Data Management
A customized SemiSoft® installation filled with project data, to be used and refined throughout the Fab's lifecycle.
