Introducing Modutek’s Water Ring Seal (WRS) Option in Quartz Bath Equipment

In its thirty-plus years of experience in providing semiconductor manufacturing equipment solutions, Modutek Corporation introduces another product, the Water Ring Seal (WRS).

Modutek invented the Water Ring Seal in a bid to prolong the heater life of any high-temperature quartz bath. When you choose the WRS feature, it will make any high-temperature quartz bath have a standard 30-month warranty.

One of the advantages of adding the WRS feature to your quartz bath is the 360-degree water ring seal under the quartz bath's top flange. The water ring seal provides sufficient blockage against chemical fumes from getting into the quartz bath's heater chamber. Whether you do etching, stripping and cleaning, you will have no worries for your quartz bath as it's protected by the water ring seal.

Other benefits of the water ring seal (WRS) design for your high-temperature quartz bath, aside from the 30-month warranty:

• With the water ring seal giving such added extension to your quartz bath's heater life, it should reduce inventory control
• It will reduce the need for process downtimes
• It will improve process yields
• It will reduce the likelihood of having to ship your current quartz bath off for repairs

Modutek's Qa and QFa Series high-temperature quartz baths are ideal for the water ring seal option. The company's standard quartz baths are bonded with a heating element called Inconel (a trademark name for a nickel-chromium based super alloy) that will provide fast, efficient, balanced and constant heating. Modutek's QFa series is the more recently upgraded version of the Qa series quartz bath with an extra circulation feature.

Modutek's quartz baths also come with a seamless, sloped run-off flange which contributes to its longer vessel life. They are designed to decrease the likelihood of particulate contamination while they facilitate laminar flow (making it less turbulent). The quartz baths are also secure as they come with a dual safety snap switch.

Modutek is proud of its Qa and QFa series quartz baths that have been produced during the company's more than thirty years of designing and engineering evolutionary, innovative, high-quality quartz bath designs. As with all the other Modutek products, their quartz baths have one-year warranties. As for the water ring seal option for quartz baths, it has a 30-year warranty.
