Apex Gas Mixing Solution-2

Veeco's Apex™ Gas Mixing System addresses critical issues facing semiconductor manufacturers and foundries - material costs, process repeatability and system up-time. • Apex allows manufacturers to reduce costs by purchasing lower-cost, higher-concentration gases and then diluting at the point of use. Depending on the concentrations and quantities needed, this can translate to a material cost savings of up to $40,000 per month. • Built around Veeco's Piezocon Gas Concentration Sensor, Apex provides real-time process repeatability unmatched in the industry. For example, Apex can deliver GeH4 at...
