サーモニックENG Product Lineup

This is a multi-atmosphere electric furnace specialized for the sintering process of electrostatic chucks (ESC). It supports a high-temperature range of 1600°C (Max 1650°C) and can operate in N₂ and N₂ + H₂ reducing atmospheres. Additionally, it achieves dry/wet switching (optional) through gas humidification by Wetter, enhancing the reproducibility of surface condition adjustments through dew point (pH₂O) control. Since the atmosphere can be switched within the same chamber, it reduces waiting, transportation, and exposure to outside air associated with process segmentation, thereby minimizing the risk of reattachment of particles and moisture. This contributes to reducing the labor required for establishing ESC sintering conditions and stabilizing quality.

The carbon furnace material reacts with residual oxygen, featuring a design and manufacturing know-how that ensures it does not "leak." It removes air from inside the powder using a vacuum pump and replacement method. With a high emissivity graphite heater, a uniform heating hot zone, and high insulation, it efficiently heats while avoiding local overheating, making it possible to stably reach temperatures up to 3000°C. 【Features of the Small Carbon Furnace】 ■ Capable of reaching temperatures up to 3000°C: Quickly achieves ultra-high temperatures through the radiant heat of the graphite heater. ■ Easy to sinter in low oxygen: The carbon inside the furnace reacts with residual O2. ■ Air inside the powder is also replaced: Reduces O2 between particles through repeated vacuum and inert gas cycles. ■ Suppresses temperature variation: Reduces differences in the center, edges, and thickness direction with a "uniform heating zone" that warms evenly. *For more detailed information, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.

The small carbon furnace is characterized by its ability to maintain an extremely low oxygen environment and ultra-high temperatures (around 3000°C). In this explanation, we will simply clarify "why this is possible" from a fundamental perspective. 1) Why does it become "extremely low oxygen"? ■ The furnace material itself is an "oxygen getter." The hot zone of the furnace is composed of carbon (graphite). Residual O2/CO2/H2O reacts with carbon and is reduced and fixed as CO/CO2, effectively lowering the oxygen activity. As a result, even materials that are sensitive to oxidation can be processed in a mild atmosphere. ■ Built-in vacuum system + replacement Before heating, the system is evacuated, and by repeatedly purging with inert gas (such as Ar/N2), the air inside the sample can be expelled in advance. This is effective for gas replacement in pores and powder gaps that cannot be reached by simple "ventilation." 2) Why is "3000°C" possible? ■ Heating element = high-temperature stability of graphite Graphite exhibits extremely high heat resistance under inert atmospheres and vacuum, allowing for efficient heating of the hot zone through resistance heating. *For more detailed information, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.

While the demand for dry reduction heat treatment is increasing, the following challenges are prominent on-site. ■ Challenges in Research Environments - Limitations on maximum achievable temperature (recipe design is constrained by material and structural upper limits in tubular furnaces) - Limitations on sample preparation volume (effective heating area is narrow, making it unsuitable for scale considerations) - Difficulty in maintaining extremely low oxygen levels (ppm to ppb range) (due to leaks, residual O2, and fine cracks from heat shock, etc.) ■ Directions for Solutions (Required Specifications) - Uniform heating in a short time: rapid temperature rise, high temperature uniformity, and good response - Flexible scaling: continuous support from small sample sizes to small-scale mass production - Atmosphere control: stabilization of extremely low oxygen levels with Ar/N2 (with small amounts of H2 as needed) and low residual O2 design ■ Concept Graphite heating element × high insulation structure × low leak design. A compact carbon furnace optimized for prototyping and condition setting, enabling faster and more reproducible dry reduction processes. *For more detailed information, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.
