The LC100 is a four-inch tubular furnace for annealing and LPCVD processes. It is dedicated to small-scale production and research applications. It can process up to 50 wafers per process.
The process chamber is made of a quartz tube with stainless steel flanges. The quartz boats are held by two quartz rods attached to the loading door. The high quality, low thermal mass, heater elements provide fast thermal response and low contamination.
A high quality digital temperature controller controls the temperature of each heating zone.
The controller has auto-tuning capability and continuous parameter adaptation in case of process changes. This temperature control system provides highly accurate and reproducible thermal cycles.
The system is provided with one purge gas line and can receive up to 8 process gas lines with mass flow controllers.
System can be customized upon customer request for special applications.
