What it is

The Tokyo Electron Alpha 303 i Vertical Furnace is a vertical thermal processing furnace used in semiconductor manufacturing. The model appears in 12-inch wafer configurations.[1][2][3][4][5]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A vertical furnace processes wafers in a stacked, upright chamber so that heat reaches the wafers in a controlled thermal environment. Furnaces of this class are used for thermal treatment steps that change film properties or drive material movement into or through the wafer surface.

Thermal and diffusion furnaces generally support process steps that depend on time, temperature, and ambient conditions rather than on direct pattern transfer. A vertical layout is commonly used to handle wafers in a compact chamber while maintaining process uniformity across a load.
