Refurbished AG Heatpulse 210
Manufacture:AG Associates
Refurbished by:Allwin21 Corp
AG Heatpulse 210 is a rapid thermal processor which uses high-intensity, visible radiation to heat single wafer for short periods at precisely controlled temperatures. These capabilities, combined with the heating chamber's cold-wall design, superior heating uniformity, provide significant advantages over conventional furnace processing and conventional RTP systems.
Manual Operation
Closed-loop temperature control with pyrometer or thermocouple temperature sensing.
Precise time-temperature profiles tailored to suit specific process requirements.
High-intensity visible radiation heats wafers for short periods. Fast heating and cooling rates unobtainable in conventional technologies.
Consistent wafer-to-wafer process cycle repeatability.
Elimination of external contamination.
Small footprint and energy efficiency.
AG 210 RTA RTP is a versatile tool, which is useful for many applications:
• Ion Implant Activation
• Polysilicon Annealing
• Oxide Reflow
• Silicide Formation
• Contact Alloying
• Oxidation and Nitridation

Allwin21 Corp. can also provide Allwin21 Corp proprietary AW Control Software and Superior Temperature Control Technology to upgrade the refurbished AG Heatpulse 4108 which provides the following significant advantages.
Add timer watch for the oven safety issue (the original has no safety interlock for the computer locks up, chamber would be burned if the computer locks up when process running).
The new software allows to do either 4",6” or 8” without changing hardware and robot teaching. It is good for the R&D or small production purpose. 2 or 3 susceptor towers can be put to handle 2 or 3 different wafer size for GaAs or InP wafers.
The new software with power summary function to detect either lamp failure or sensor failure
Precise Temperature/Time control, Temperature measuring precision ± 1°C.
New hardware includes: three interface cards with cable, new timer counter with watch dog, Pentium Computer with 17” LCD Monitor, standard keyboard and mouse.
Software calibration for PYROMETER and easy to be done.
More functions and I/O hardware “exposed” for easier maintenance and trouble shooting.
It is easy to edit recipe with GUI and graph display.
Save all process data on the computer hard disk.
A/D and D/A precision is 14 to 16 bits.
Detect in process and with color curve displayed on the screen.
Robot teach is on the GUI and easy to do the procedure with new concept teaching method.
Lamp damage detect in process.
Sensor status detect function.
On line help function.

Rapid thermal processing (or RTP) refers to a semiconductor manufacturing process which heats silicon wafers to high temperatures (up to 1200 C or greater) on a timescale of several seconds or less. The wafers must be brought down (temperature) slow enough however, so they do not break due to thermal shock..Such rapid heating rates are attained by high intensity lamps process. These processes are used for a wide variety of applications in semiconductor manufacturing including dopant activation, thermal oxidation, metal reflow and chemical vapor deposition.
Rapid thermal anneal (RTA) is a process used in semiconductor device fabrication which consists of heating a single wafer at a time in order to affect its electrical properties. Unique heat treatments are designed for different effects. Wafers can be heated in order to activate dopants, change film-to-film or film-to-wafer substrate interfaces, densify deposited films, change states of grown films, repair damage from ion implantation, move dopants or drive dopants from one film into another or from a film into the wafer substrate. Rapid thermal anneals are performed by equipment that heats a single wafer at a time using lamp based heating that a wafer is brought near. Unlike furnace anneals they are short in duration, processing each wafer in several minutes. Rapid thermal anneal is a subset of processes called Rapid Thermal Process (RTP).
AG Associates Heatpulse is one of the most famous RTP equipment manufacturers. Many Integrated Chip companies, R&D centers, Institutes all over the world have been using AG Heatpulse Systems.
