Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the L-MOTION valve, a high-speed transfer valve designed for corrosive semiconductor processes and loadlock applications, compatible with 450 mm wafer technology.

Specifications
The valve is available in Series 04.3 and 05.3, featuring a reliable actuator with integrated sequence control, fully protected bellows feedthrough, and optimized gate seal shapes. It offers adjustable closing force for different elastomers and is pneumatically locked in both closed and open positions.

Applications
The valve is dedicated to 200, 300, and 450 mm semiconductor processes, specifically designed for corrosive environments such as Etch and CVD.

Features and Benefits
  • Excellent gate seal lifetime in corrosive processes.
  • High-speed and smooth operation with low particle count.
  • First bellows replacement required after 3 million cycles.

Maintenance
Maintenance is simplified with quick position indicator exchange, easy access for gate exchange through a service cover, and self-alignment of the gate without loose parts.

Technical Data
  • Leak rate at body and seat is extremely low, with specific values for different materials and conditions.
  • Pressure range varies based on material, with a maximum of 1.2 bar (abs).
  • Actuator cycle life is ≥3 million cycles, with a maximum temperature of 120°C.

Dimensions and Options
The valve dimensions are provided in both metric and imperial units, with options for different opening sizes, surface treatments, and sealing materials. Heated/cooled versions and solenoid options for impulse actuation are available.
