Semiconductor Tool Connectivity

Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the most complex industrial processes in the world. Producing the chips that enable artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics requires multi-billion-dollar fabrication facilities (fabs) equipped with thousands of tools operating at submicron precision. At the core of these operations are connectors that deliver uninterrupted power, precise signals, and high-speed data within and between tools. These connectors not only power critical equipment, they also enable precise monitoring and control of every process throughout the fab, minimizing the risk of failures and eliminating unplanned downtime.


SemiconductorManufacturing_Overview.tif

Build compact, modular tools with maximized uptime.


As chip architectures continue to shrink and increase in complexity — with innovations like Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors and 3D stacking — the cost to build a leading-edge fab now exceeds $10 billion. This is why fab owners and operators focus on three key metrics when choosing tools and equipment: throughput, reliability, and footprint.

For tool designers and engineers, this means delivering higher power, more data, and increased connectivity, all in smaller, more challenging spaces. At the same time, they’re being asked to shortening design, assembly, and commissioning time.

HARTING’s connector solutions help engineers meet these challenges by enabling:

  • Reduced footprint through compact, high-density connectors

  • Faster development cycles with rapid prototyping and modular design

  • Shorter tool build times using hybrid power and data connectors and cable assemblies

  • Improved uptime with ruggedized connectors built for cleanroom and harsh environments

  • Simplified maintenance through easily serviced and interchangeable components

  • Streamlined logistics supported by global manufacturing and technical support

With HARTING as a connectivity partner, semiconductor equipment manufacturers can build tools for leading-edge chip designs while meeting the demands of modern fab operations.

Better Connectivity in the Small Footprints of Semiconductor Manufacturing


From smartphones and smartwatches to autonomous vehicles and AI servers, semiconductor chips can be found in devices everywhere. To keep up with the demand for these chips, semiconductor manufacturing equipment must produce more chips without requiring more from existing facilities.

Increasing yield without expanding the equipment footprint requires smarter, more efficient machines.

Modular connectors simplify complexity. Just like HDMI replaced RCA cables in consumer electronics, modular industrial connectors consolidate multiple functions into a single interface.

Semiconductor Manufacturing FAQs


Connectivity is the backbone of semiconductor equipment design because it enables seamless communication between sensors, actuators, control systems, and data networks. Case in point: each tool can have hundreds — or even thousands — of electrical connections for power, data, and signal.

Poor connectivity can lead to signal degradation, process interruptions, and costly downtime.

Advanced tool and equipment demands modular, scalable, and reliable connectivity solutions that support real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and integration with factory automation systems.

Whether it's transmitting high-speed data from inspection tools or powering robotic arms in wafer handling, robust connectivity is essential for maintaining throughput, yield, and quality across the entire manufacturing process.

HARTING designs and manufactures a broad range of standard connectors. But for connectivity challenges that off-the-shelf components can't solve, our team of application and design engineers are on standby to develop custom solutions for your application.

Our in-house experts can design a connector that meets the fit, form, and function of some of the most difficult and unique fit, form, and function requirements posed by semiconductor tool designers and engineers.
