What it is

The Tytan 1600 is configured as a carbon nanotube (CNT) growth system. The system includes a complete set of process quartzware capable of processing up to 32 sheets of 200 mm by 200 mm substrates. The system has a six-zone resistance heating furnace with process temperature capability up to 900 degrees Celsius. Mass flow controlled gas lines provide five gas lines with individual flow rate controls. The system operates at low pressure, controlled from 50 Torr to 700 Torr, and includes a dry vacuum pump and capacitance manometers for 10 Torr and 1000 Torr. Control is provided by CVDWinPrC PC-based process control software.[2]

How it works

The Tytan 1600 uses a six-zone resistance heating furnace for precise temperature control. The process tube is heated to temperatures up to 900 degrees Celsius. The system has five mass flow controlled gas lines with individual flow rate controls. A pre-heated gas line heats the gas to 150 degrees Celsius before entering the process chamber. The system operates at low pressure using capacitance manometers for 10 Torr and 1000 Torr, and low pressure control is possible from 50 Torr to 700 Torr. A dry vacuum pump and vacuum bypass valve allow for atmospheric operation. An air pump removes carbon deposits from the process tube. The system includes a rolling resistance furnace for rapid heating and cooling.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Tytan 1600 is available in configurations for different substrate sizes. One variant processes 150 mm wafers with a 50-wafer capacity and an 18-inch flat zone. Another variant processes 200 mm by 200 mm sheet substrates for carbon nanotube growth.[3][2]
