Product catalog summary
Overview: This document addresses the challenges and solutions related to controlling the nitrogen (N2) purge flow in semiconductor processes using a digital mass flow controller. It highlights the difficulties in adjusting flow rates and detecting errors, and presents solutions to improve these processes.
Current Issues:
  • Problem 1: Difficulty in programming host devices to fine-tune N2 flow rate startup characteristics.
  • Problem 2: Challenges in detecting and pinpointing errors due to lack of alarms or flow rate displays.
  • Problem 3: Inability to change flow rate parameters or adjust flow rates until host device debugging is complete.
Solutions:
  • Solution 1: The mass flow controller allows easy adjustment of N2 flow rate startup characteristics using display and keys, with the ability to specify flow rate change per second.
  • Solution 2: A self-diagnostic function in the mass flow controller identifies and displays errors, aiding in error investigation.
  • Solution 3: Parameters can be set without using additional devices, and real-time monitoring of flow rate changes is possible with a PC loader.
Additional Features:
  • Easy connection to a PC using a dedicated USB communication cable.
  • Smart Device Gateway Model NX-SVG reduces the work needed for connection to host devices like PLCs.

Air purge control-1

Gas flow rate control FOUP nitrogen purge flow control Helping to reduce adjustment work! Product name Process sensor Digital mass flow controller Process and equipment name Front-end processes, Load port Current Situation Current Issues Star tup flow rate must be adjusted to prevent swirl of particles. When there is an equipment error, an engineer has to investigate the cause and then make a replacement / adjustment. It is hard to create a program in the host device to fine-tune the N2 flow rate startup characteristics. Changing of flow rate control parameters and monitoring of flow rate are done through a host device. Problem 2 Particles (dust and dirt) Not only pinpointing the cause of an error, but even detecting the error is difficult because neither alarms nor flow rate are displayed for the mass flow. Problem 3 Changing the mass flow rate parameters and adjusting the flow rate can’t proceed until the host device is debugged, etc. Load Port

Air purge control-2

Our mass flow controller can adjust the startup characteristics of the N2 flow rate With the SP ramp of MQV_ _ _ _ models, you can specify the flow rate change rate per second. Our mass flow controller’s self-diagnostic function identifies and displays errors Parameters can be set without using any other device The self-diagnostic function aids locating investigation by identifying and displaying many different error states. The mass flow controller allows you to setspecify parameters easily using the display and keys. In addition, the PC loader can be used to save parameters to a file and to...
