Lamp Annealing System for Contact Annealing (Vacuum load-lock transport)

Vacuum load-lock capability improves throughput.
Supports various wafers including Si, GaN, and SiC.

Features

  • Vacuum load-lock is equipped as standard on the chamber and transport unit, for high throughput.
  • Includes an automated susceptor transfer function for SiC and GaN wafers.
  • 6 zone control allows easy control of the power ratio for each zone.
  • Non-contact measurement of workpiece temperature is performed using radiative thermometers, and feedback control is possible.
  • [RLA-4200-V] 2-chamber type combined with optimization of the transport and cooling sections, productivity is 2 to 2.4 times higher than that of conventional model.

Overview

This is production equipment that uses multiple halogen lamps arranged in an upper and lower cross as the heat source, and is intended for rapid, high-precision annealing of wafers. The use of a vacuum transport platform enables workpiece transport and treatment in an ultra-low oxygen atmosphere.
