Diffusion Furnaces for Processing MEMS

Expertech manufactures CTR and VTR diffusion furnaces for processing MEMS devices. With high-technology features, the CTR and VTR systems deliver exceptional film uniformity, high-performance LPCVD and atmospheric capabilities, and lower intrinsic stress to process MEMS devices, including small-scale sensors, actuators, and more. We can engineer and develop a compact or vertical diffusion furnace solution configured with the capabilities you need to match your application requirements.

Applications of Semiconductor Diffusion Furnaces

For LPCVD and atmospheric pressure processing applications, Expertech’s semiconductor diffusion furnaces offer innovative solutions for your process requirements. CTR and VTR systems deliver precision film uniformity and low defect density required in demanding operations for semiconductor, SiC, GaN, and MEMS device processing applications. Engineered to suit a range of process capabilities, our solutions can be configured with specialized features to match your application specifications.

Benefits of CTR Diffusion Furnaces

Designed with capabilities surpassing tabletop or laboratory furnace systems, CTR diffusion furnaces offer fully automated, recipe-driven film quality and process uniformity that rivals full-size equipment. CTR systems can process up to 200 mm round, 156 mm square, and irregularly shaped parts for MEMS and semiconductor applications. With similar capabilities to standard-size equipment, our compact diffusion furnaces provide superior performance, as well as complete recipe control and storage via a host PC supervisor for data logging and graphics. We provide CTR systems with manual or fully automated loading systems for high-quality advantages, including:

  • Highly Reliable with Fully Automated Technology
  • Utilizes High-Performance Heating Elements
  • Designed for Atmospheric & LPCVD Applications
  • Full Suite of Safety Interlocks
  • Integrated Control System with GUI for Interfacing with Multiple Tools
  • Smallest Footprint in Equipment Class with a Compact Design
  • Stackable Design to Accommodate 4 CTR-125, 4 CTR-150, 3 CTR-200, and varies in CTR-300
  • Features Process Controller Options
  • Controlled Rate of Wafer Load & Unload with Optional Recipe Controlled Loading Mechanism
  • Reduced Cost of Ownership

VTR Diffusion Furnace Advantages

VTR systems offer highly automated solutions combined with powerful design features. They have one of the most well-known furnace designs and a small footprint for exceptional within-wafer and wafer-to-wafer uniformity in atmospheric and LPCVD processes. Featuring a unique dual-boat design, our VTR diffusion furnaces offer proven production capabilities for maximum semiconductor processing, as well as high-quality components for reduced contamination. We supply VTR systems as an advanced manufacturing tool with the following benefits:

  • Manufacturing Versatility
  • Enhanced Automation & Throughput
  • Optimized Contamination Management
  • Low Cost of Ownership
