What it is

The iH 1000 is a five-stage base pump with an innovative cantilever rotor, claw and roots design, which improves dust handling and reduces exhaust noise (Source 2).[4]

The pump is fitted with a single stage mechanical booster pump and totally enclosed water cooled motors (Source 2).[4]

How it works

The absence of oil in the pumping chamber prevents back-migration of hydrocarbons into the evacuated system, providing a clean vacuum environment (Source 2).[4]

The pump includes a gas system that introduces purge gas into the base pump; this purge can be used in an economiser mode on light or medium duty processes to reduce nitrogen consumption (Source 2).[4]

Operation of the iH 1000 can be controlled via a Pump Display Terminal, a process tool interface, an iM Communications Module, or an iH Single Equipment Monitor (Source 2).[4]

Where it fits in the process flow

The iH 1000 operates at pressures between atmospheric and ultimate vacuum, making it suitable for processes that require clean vacuum without oil contamination (Source 2).[4]

Applications

The Edwards iH 1000 dry pump is used for harsh duty processes where particulate, condensable, or corrosive by-products are present (Source 2).[4]

The pump is also applied in load lock, transfer, metrology, lithography, PVD process, PVD pre-clean, RTA, strip/ashing, oxide etch, silicon etch, metal etch, implant source, HPD CVD, RTP, SACVD, MOCVD, and ALD (Source 3).[3]
