| SMD-Series Semiconductor Packaging  | SMD-series 600°C IR furnaces with 60" to 120" long heating chambers (4 to 12-zones), belts 10" to 20" wide. Tested against convention furnace technology, SMD-series furnaces offer faster setup and stabilization time; repeatable profiles; no degrade of seal process; lower internal cavity moisture content and comparable hermetic performance; lowest ppm defect rates; and superior temperature uniformity. Inert atmosphere for fine pitch solder pastes. Diffuse near and medium IR heating efficiency without color selectivity. Choose Air for low cost; Nitrogen (max 500 ppm oxygen) reduces board browning and flux charring for easier cleaning; or nitrogen (control to 5 ppm oxygen) for 40-60% faster processing speeds, lower defect rates, and improved secondary soldering yields, ideal for high volume critical applications. | Electronic industry semiconductor packaging, frame attach, die attach and sealing applications. Also used for ceramic and glass epoxy applications and a variety of production processes including:
|
| TF-Series Thick Film Process Furnaces   | TF-series 1000°C thick film production furnaces utilize high level near infrared radiation to rapidly and accurately fire resistors, conductors and dielectrics in a controlled clean, dry atmosphere. The furnaces are designed to cycle on a daily or more frequent basis. They will stabilize at 800-1000°C from an ambient start in under 20 minutes. Major profile changes can be accomplished in minutes, allowing the furnace to be regularly used for a variety of processes. Production rates of up to 23,000 square inches per hour (16 ipm) can be achieved, with still higher rates for some conductors and dielectrics. | Designed for 280-1000°C volume production of noble metal thick film products, metal, ceramic and glass inks screen-printed on a variety of substrates for production of surface mount devices, hybrid integrated circuits and sensors including semiconductor package sealing: solder lid seal, glass seal, low oxygen solder seal (<20ppmv), glass seal, epoxy die attach and other electronic devices. The energy-rich, radiant environment allows all thick film materials to be processed very rapidly. Resistors are processed at total profile times of 12-15 minutes while conductors and dielectrics can be fired in as little as 10 minutes. This environment affords tighter distribution of process parts and also gives the processor the ability to cofire multilayers up to 300µm thick. |
| S-Series High temperature Furnaces  | S-series 1000°C furnaces offer high production yield and throughput and feature start-up often in less than 30 minutes, precise and repeatable zone temperature control, temperature profiles to 1000°C, and controlled-atmosphere capability of 1-5 ppm above incoming gas purity. The S-Series Infrared Furnaces utilize high intensity heat to achieve exacting temperature profiles, with rapid heat rise and no overshoot. Two to 12-Zone systems available. Belts: 9" to 20" wide. Water cooled, fan cooled and combination cooling sections configured to suit. | Ideal for many high-temperature semiconductor and thick-film processing. The rapid heat rise of these furnaces is of particular advantage in the final lid sealing or die attach process since the semi-conductor is not exposed to prolonged high temperature. In lead frame attachment, there is no contact with the part to cause distortion in the frame. All leads remain planar which greatly facilitates subsequent automatic wire bonding steps. |
| S-Series Hydrogen Hydrogen Production Furnaces  | S-series 1000°C hydrogen furnaces offer on-board mixing of hydrogen and nitrogen for the optimum environment. Process gas sample system with oxygen analyzer, combustion monitors, iginitors and software controlled permissions offer safe high production yield. Precise and repeatable zone temperature control to 1000°C and controlled-atmosphere capability of 1-5 ppm above incoming gas purity. The S-Series Infrared Furnaces utilize high intensity heat to achieve exacting temperature profiles, with rapid heat rise and no overshoot. Two to 12-Zone systems available. | Ideal for many high-temperature semiconductor and thick-film processing.

| AG-Series Multistage Production Furnaces  | Infrared furnace temperatures up to 1000°C, multistage temperature profiles, rapid removal of volatiles with multiple intermediate exhausts, inline drying and firing, multiple atmospheres with gas barriers, clean room compatible. Two to 12-Zone systems available. | Silver-glass die attach, CERDIP and similar processes requiring multi-stage temperature profiles and rapid removal of volatiles. These capabilities are facilitated by the use of multiple intermediate exhaust stacks. Ideal for single and two stage silver-glass die attach profiles, as well as solar-cell and green tape drying and firing sequences. |
| SC-Series Solar Cell Prodcution Furnaces  SC-Series SCD-Series | Fast eficient high speed production infrared furnace. SC-series furnaces offer high production yield and throughput, feature start-up often in less than 30 minutes, precise and repeatable zone temperature control, temperature profiles up to 1000°C, and controlled-atmosphere capability of 1-5 ppm above incoming gas purity.
