Durex Industries' Gas and Pump Line heaters are turnkey thermal solutions used in PECVD, LPCVD, plasma etch and other vacuum applications. Low vapor pressure gas delivery lines need to be held at a temperature higher than the gas vaporization point in order to prevent condensation that will affect process yields. Vacuum exhaust lines remove the vapor phase bi-products from the semiconductor process. Sublimation occurs when the vapor phase materials cool in a vacuum line. By heating the forelines, vacuum lines, and vacuum pumps, sublimation of ammonium chloride (AICI2), nitrides (NH4) (NH4CI) and other potential hazardous materials can be substantially reduced.
System and Process Safety
• Reducing effluence buildup in lines decreases potential for exposure to hazardous materials during preventative maintenance (PM) cycles.
• System components meet UL, CE, and SEMI S2 and other agency safety specifications.
• Insulation system is designed to meet SEMI S2 surface temperature requirements.
Features and Benefits
Process Temperatures to 200°C
• Elevates gas and vapor temperature above vapor condensation or sublimation phase.
• Designed with clean room compatible silicone rubber and distributed wattage, a uniform temperature can be achieved.
