What it is

The SVG Thermco 5204 is a diffusion furnace used in semiconductor manufacturing. The model is built at the Thermco Orange County factory with the TMX control system, the most standard control system for all furnace systems. The system handles one hundred fifty millimeter wafers and provides a forty inch flat zone.[2]

How it works

The SVG Thermco 5204 diffusion furnace includes a load station approximately ten feet long and a source cabinet of standard heroe design. One bank has a stand-alone TMX cabinet (like a Thermco) and the other three banks have modified tube drawers designed into the load station base on slides.[2]
