How it works

The YES 450PB bake ovens operate at temperatures up to 450°C. During operation, nitrogen preheated to the selected operating temperature passes in laminar flow from the roof of each chamber down over the wafer cassettes and out through the chamber base. Substrates in the preheated gas flow are washed clean of particles as the cycle proceeds. Particles are removed by exhaust during each evacuation cycle. The system supports 8 separate recipes with up to 16 ramps and dwells in each recipe.[1]
