Description

Here is an excellent view of a state-of-the-art diffusion furnace from the mid 1960s. Note its small diffusion tube, no more than 2 inches at the utmost, barely large enough to hold a boat full of 1½ inch wafers; but no matter, 2 inch wafers were still a few years out in the future. Multiple four and eight tube furnaces were also still a bit away, as was automatic pusher/puller equipment. This unit used a manual quartz pushrod instead, with the operator slowly and uniformly pushing the boatloads into the tube and just as slowly removing them hours later.

Established in 1992, Expertech's core competency is newly manufactured thermal processing systems with over 50 systems in the field designed and fully manufactured by Expertech. In addition, Expertech has an established reputation as a supplier of over 500 remanufactured and refurbished systems originally built by other suppliers. They provide field service, repair parts and upgrades for a wide range of thermal systems manufactured by Expertech and other OEM suppliers. Originally Expertech mainly supported thermal process applications for the semiconductor industry.
