This page shows many specific high quality products that were specially designed for the semiconductor industry.
Fast temperature sensors
ST-50/51 Series
Ultra fast film type K thermocouple. Smallest ST-50 has a 50μm tip with response time of only 0.03s. (ambient-250°C in paraffin)
Examples for use:
- temperature distribution measurement during glass substrate firing/bonding
- thermal design verification of power modules
Fast and accurate process & temperature controllers
Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP)
Waferstepper / lithography & coating
Very accurate (0.001°C) controllers are necessary for keeping the temperature of optics (exposure lenses) & fine mechanics extremely stable.
- F9000 high accuracy controller (10 PID calculations per second). Excellent control stability through power feed forward.
- temperature measurement accuracy: +/- 0.05°C
- temperature control accuracy: +/- 0.001°C
- measuring range: 0.000°C to +50.000°C
- 1 or 2 channel version
Cascaded temperature control in diffusion furnaces (PVD/CVD)
Master-slave cascaded control is necessary when there is a large time lag between the controlled object and the source with risk of overshoot, especially in chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and physical vapour deposition (PVD) furnaces.
Multizone temperature control in large scale furnaces for OLED/LCD
Large multizone furnaces require many temperature zones to be controlled accurately. In order to keep a good overview with batch/recipe control HMI/SCADA/PLC touchpanels are added for supervisory control. Many fieldbuses available.
- SRZ multizone system 2/4 channel DIN-rail modules with fieldbus interface (ProfiNET, ProfiBUS, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNET, MODBUS TCP/RTU, CC-Link, MAPMAN and MECHATROLINK)
- MA900/901 multizone 4/8 channel panelmount temperature controller
Electrical heat-tracing
Electrical heat tracing is used for keeping pipelines and vessels on a stable temperature, and to prevent freezing. We specialize in both reliable and accurate control systems incl. HMI/SCADA/PLC touchpanels for this kind of application.
- SB1 heat tracing controller with built-in 7A 230Vac solid state relay
- SRZ multizone system 2/4 channel DIN-rail modules
- RB series single channel controller
Ramp/soak control for batch processes & furnaces
