Semiconductor Diffusion Furnaces

Semiconductor device processing is highly demanding of film uniformity and low defect density. Expertech has over 25 years of experience providing innovative equipment and process support for semiconductor applications. Whether you need to introduce a new film type or need to augment production capacity for an existing process, Expertech can provide a solution.

Expertech can provide one or more horizontal or vertical furnace systems configured for doing the following semiconductor device processing steps:
