MAGNA Replacement Heating Elements For Thermal Processing Furnaces Offered By MRL Industries
Sonora, Calif., June 30, 2000- MRL Industries of Sonora, California, announces their new Magna Series of Replacement Heating Elements designed for use in all leading models of vertical diffusion and LPCVD furnaces used for thermal processing of semiconductor wafers.
"Our Magna Series Replacement Heating Elements are the latest in a comprehensive line of high performance products for thermal processing of semiconductor wafers and other industrial materials, "said MRL President Bill McEntire. "In this specialty, MRL has earned an enviable reputation for high quality and reliability at a low cost."
Available in five different configurations, the Magna Heating Elements incorporate interlocking ceramic wire spacers to prevent coil sag. Hot face insulation, vacuum formed with proprietary surface coatings, is provided to ensure precise process control at high temperatures. An inner Zircon coating reduces insulation shrinkage and provides a cleaner operation.
Magna AMR Heating Elements feature AMR alloy wire for enhanced service life in the mid- to high-temperature applications, while Magna AZ Heating Elements utilize APM alloy wire for the ultimate in service at high temperatures.
Narrow sinuated technology is used for Magna S Heating Elements. Light gauge APM resistance alloy wire (1.0 to 2.2mm) provides fast heating and cooling rates in low- to mediumtemperature ranges.
Magna SW Heating Elements use wide sinuated technology to capitalize on the longevity advantages of heavier gauge heating element technologies while increasing performance via lowered heating element mass. Constructed of medium gauge APM resistance alloy wire (2.5 to 3.Omm) for application in mid- to high-temperature ranges.
Completing the series, the Magna STW Heating Elements are designed for use at all temperature ranges. Like the Magna SW elements, the STW uses wide sinuated technology for longevity and increased performance. In addition, STW elements incorporate an active electronic module to provide the greatest energy-radiating surface possible.
The STW element module intelligently manages maximum power versus temperature to keep the element within its optimum performance-to-life envelope at any given moment. The module can also simulate the response characteristics of slower heating technologies thus maintaining compatibility with existing processes and slower control systems when required.
