Features:

  • Long-term zero stability of less than ±0.5% full scale per year
  • Settling times of less than 1 second
  • Full-scale flow rates up to 300 slpm
  • All-metal seal flow path with a 16µ inch Ra surface finish
  • Corrosion-resistant Hastelloy® sensor suitable for gases prone to thermal decomposition, operating at lower temperatures
  • Programmable MultiFloTM capability allows for thousands of gas types and range combinations without removing the MFC from the gas line, maintaining accuracy
  • Best-in-class temperature coefficient specification with active temperature compensation
  • Embedded self-test routines and independent diagnostic/service port
  • Slimline body with VCR fittings
  • DeviceNetTM, Profibus®, RS-485, and analog interfaces

Benefits:

  • Fast settling time of less than 1 second reduces wasted gas and process variability
  • No elastomer seals that can experience oxygen permeation and require replacement over time
  • MultiFloTM simplifies and streamlines the process of changing process gases, eliminating the need to remove and recalibrate MFCs
  • Quick and easy configuration of new gases and ranges in under 60 seconds
  • Measurement accuracy remains unaffected by temperature variations
  • Convenient access to diagnostics port for maximum uptime
  • Compact size facilitates integration into tight machine spaces and makes it an excellent choice for retrofits
  • Multi-protocol communication interface simplifies integration into existing systems

Applications:

  • Cost-efficient retrofit/upgrade of legacy MFCs in refurbished semiconductor process tools
  • Reduction of MFC inventory in six-inch/eight-inch semiconductor fabs
  • MOCVD for LED and power device manufacturing
  • Solar/thin film chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems
  • Analytical OEM equipment
