Product Details


UL Standard Compact RTP Furnace with 4" ID Quartz Tube & Digital Vacuum Gauge up to 1100ºC


TMAX-1200X-RTP-4 is a compact rapid thermal processing tube furnace with a 4" I.D. processing quartz tube and vacuum flanges. It is designed for annealing semiconductor wafers or solar cells with diameters up to 3". TMAX-1200X-4-RTP is heated by 8 units of 1KW halogen light with a max. the heating rate of 50ºC/second. 30 segment precision temperature controller with +/-1ºC accuracy is built into the furnace to allow for heating, dwelling, and cooling at various steps.

  • You may upgrade the temperature controller to the Eurotherm 3504 Temperature Controller which is fully compatible with LabVIEW. This package includes a Eurotherm 3504 programmer, a communication cable (RS485 - USB) and a software CD. Click the pic below to view the full spec of Eurotherm 3504 temperature controller. 

Quartz Tube & Sample Holder

  • Quart Tube Size: 4.33" O.D x 4.05" I.D x 16.2" Length. One 3" Diameter AlN sample holder for annealing samples up to 3" Dia is included. AlN has a very high thermal conductivity which provides the best temperature uniformity in the sample area.
  • Optional:  3'' O.D Thick Graphite Substrate can be used as an alternative to AIN plate. (please click pic-3 below to order)
  • Optional: Graphite Crucible:87 mm OD x 71 mm ID x 12 mm Height with lid is designed for 3" sample holder, can also be modified into an RTE, CSS or HPCVD  furnace with a graphite crucible coated with SiC.
  • The sample holder is removable from the flange for using the RTP furnace for other purposes.

                      

Vacuum Flange

  • KF-D25 High Vacuum Flange is made of stainless steel with double hi-temp. silicone O-rings, needle valves, and water cooling jacket.
  • Only requires water cooling in long running times at temperatures > 600oC.
  • Circulating water rate: 0.5 m3 /hr.
  • The slide-out flange provides an easier way of loading, unloading the samples and other specific process needed.
  • Insert-able thermal-couple for accurate measurement. 

Vacuum Pump  (optional)

  • EQ-FYP vacuum pump is recommended for this furnace. The ultimate vacuum pressure in this system can be 10^-3 torr. Vacuum bellows and clamps are included in this package. Click here for the spec of EQ-FYP vacuum pump. 

Water Cooling  (optional)

  • Cooling water is required.
  • Please make sure the flow rate of cooling water is ≥ 10L/min, water temp. < 25ºC; pressure > 25 PSI.
  • We suggest using the EQ-KJ5000 Series recirculating water chiller as a cooling system (please order separately at related products below) to save water.   
  • Warning: This RTP furnace's max dwelling time shall be less than 600 seconds at 1000ºC ~ 1100ºC with tap water, otherwise O-ring may melt.

Application Notes

   

  • Tube furnaces with quartz tubes are designed for using under vacuum and low pressure < 0.2 bars / 3 psi / 0.02 MPa. Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up to 1000°CThe flow rate for gasses should be limited to<200 SCCM (or 200ml/min) for reducing thermal shocks to the tube
  • Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation.  This furnace also can be modified into an RTE, CSS or HPCVD  furnace with a graphite crucible coated with SiC ( click Pic-left for detail how to set up an RTE processing by DIY )
  • After CVD, the graphene must be transferred from the metal catalyst to another substrate for most applications. By using the graphene transfer tape, the residue can be low.
