REACTOR GOLD
Gold components are used in Epitaxy reactors due to low emissivity and reflective properties as well as corrosion resistance. Degraded, or low quality, gold can reduce emissivity and cause thermal anomalies. Many fabs must continually augment their recipes directly correlated to gold degradation.
Additionally, new, stricter requirements of Epitaxy films require greater temperature control and focus.
If your gold is worn, degraded or suffered a catastrophic incident, Helios is here to service you. We manufacture high quality replacement gold in many configurations, and can often refurbish your existing gold components.
There are many gold configurations in Epitaxy reactors due to reactor vintage and specific configurations created for enhanced process performance. Multiple gold configurations in a Fab make consistent manufacturing a challenge and often lead to ‘one reactor’ only per recipe – limiting manufacturability and consistency.
Let Helios create a standard gold configuration to meet your specific Fab requirements. We manufacture high quality multiple configurations. A standard configuration reduces your on-site spares components, and ensures you have the correct components / pieces when you need them.
Proper and thoughtful spares reduce costs, improves consistent performance, and reduces reactor downtime. Additionally, a full standard gold set on hand allows for immediate component replacement of the right part and that component can be easily replaced to keep a full set in spares. And if a catastrophic event occurs, you will have a complete set on hand, saving an immense amount of downtime.
Helios can also recondition your gold components, which is a great option for pieces that are degraded but are still serviceable.
