Overview


H83/H84 are ULVAC's horizontal diffusion furnaces. Highly reliable tools with more than 30 years of track record, they are used for heat treatments such as diffusion, thermal oxidation and annealing of 200 mm silicon wafers.

Different processes can be chosen in one tool, and 3- or 4-tube stacks save installation space. Heaters in 5 zones are each controlled independently for temperature control with excellent uniformity and stability. ULVAC's own control system gives simple, reliable operation.

It can perform pyrogenic oxidation, wet oxidation, dry oxidation, phosphorus and boron diffusion using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl₃) and boron tribromide (BBr₃), annealing and other processes. Operating temperature is 600 to 1,200 °C, and temperature uniformity is ±1.0 °C.
