TS Series V

The multipurpose Thermal Processing Platform

The horizontal furnace TS series V is optimized for flexibility, multiple processes and cleanroom space. With its modular design the TS series V is available with up to four process chambers that can independently and simultaneously run a multitude of processes. The TS series V is future proof: process capabilities can be improved and extended over time with its upgradeable and configurable soft- and hardware and the wafer handling can be fully automated.

One furnace, multiple processes.

  • Range of processes combined in one tool
  • Modular designed
  • Upgradable, ​configurable hard- and software
  • Extended process capabilities and improvements

Optimized cleanroom footprint.

  • Wafer size capability​ up to 300 mm​
  • Stack flexibility ​ 1 to 4 tubes​
  • Flat zones​ up to 1250 mm​

Higher process stability and yield.

  • Tempress proprietary and well proven Digital Temperature Controller (DTC) for temperatures upto 1350 degrees Celsius delivers unprecedented temperature stability over long time.
  • Each tube has an individual DTC for optimum temperature control.

Long economic lifetime, ready for the future.

  • Modular design
  • Reliable industrial​ components

  • ​Upgradable and​ configurable hard- and ​software

  • ​Self-diagnostics​ capabilities​
