This marks the first successful deployment of an ultra-large MCZ furnace in the semiconductor industry and highlights SCEC’s growing expertise beyond its established presence in photovoltaic applications.
The SC-1600 MCZ SEMI furnace represents a deliberate step forward for SCEC as it leverages its extensive experience in crystal growth technology to meet the unique challenges of semiconductor manufacturing. Unlike photovoltaic-grade equipment, semiconductor-grade furnaces demand precise defect control, higher levels of automation, and exceptional stability. The SC-1600 MCZ incorporates advanced features such as ultra-high-precision dual-axis transmission for exact speed control and enhanced vacuum sealing to achieve lower leakage rates.
The furnace also employs optimized vacuum and temperature control systems, intelligent software, and visual monitoring technologies, ensuring stability in crystal growth. These innovations allow for improved control of crystal defects, meeting the stringent quality requirements of semiconductor-grade silicon wafers while maintaining operational reliability.
As the semiconductor industry evolves toward larger wafer sizes and higher efficiency, the SC-1600 MCZ furnace offers clients a solution that balances performance and cost. By enabling precise control over production processes, it helps manufacturers reduce wafer fabrication costs while achieving consistent quality. This capability positions the SC-1600 MCZ as a pivotal innovation for the semiconductor supply chain.
This achievement reflects ATW Technology’s strategic focus on expanding its expertise into semiconductor applications, building on its legacy in photovoltaic manufacturing. Moving forward, ATW Technology and SCEC remain committed to delivering solutions that address the specialized demands of the new energy industry, advancing the efficiency and sustainability of high-precision manufacturing.
