Large multi-zone heating assemblies showing circular hot-face construction

01Application

Semiconductor diffusion furnaces

Multi-zone ceramic fiber heating assemblies for semiconductor diffusion equipment, made to the required tube diameter, heated length, zones, supports and terminals.

02Overview

SYNTHE supplies the insulated multi-zone heating assembly that surrounds the customer's process tube; it is not the quartz process tube itself. Heated length, zones, supports, electrical circuits and equipment interfaces are stated on the production drawing.

03Equipment requirements

Set axial zones, end compensation and support points before finalizing the long heater.

In semiconductor diffusion equipment, the ceramic-fiber heater surrounds—not replaces—the quartz process tube. Its drawing must identify process-tube clearance, heated and overall length, main and end zones, section joints, supports, sensors, terminals and the direction used to install or remove each section.

Long diffusion heater sections and mechanical supports in production
01

Thermal zones

List the start position and length of every main, end or guard zone, then place the associated sensor and control channel.

  • Main and guard zones
  • Zone boundaries
  • Sensor and control locations

02

Mechanical support

Mark body sections, joints, lifting points, installed supports and insertion direction against the equipment envelope.

  • Section joints and supports
  • Orientation and lifting
  • Installation envelope

03

Electrical interfaces

Assign element type, voltage, power, circuit grouping, terminals and lead direction to each identified zone.

  • Independent zone circuits
  • Terminal and lead protection
  • Resistance and wiring checks

Diffusion furnace heater requirements

A quotation can be prepared from the process-tube dimensions, operating temperatures, heating zones, electrical supply and equipment interfaces.

05Specification sequence

Convert the equipment envelope into a zone-by-zone heater drawing.

The heater drawing records the process-tube relationship, physical sections, electrical zones and connection points rather than relying on one catalogue diameter.

  1. 01

    Fix the tube relationship

    Record process-tube diameter, heater clearance, orientation and the maximum installation envelope.

  2. 02

    Place sections and zones

    Dimension body sections, active zones, end regions, joints, supports and sensor positions.

  3. 03

    Assign circuits and terminals

    Record voltage, power, circuit, lead direction and terminal location for every identified zone.

  4. 04

    Inspect and protect the assembly

    Check drawing dimensions, circuit values and assembly condition before wooden-case packing.

Build the long heater from zone and support boundaries

Repeated diffusion furnace heater sections prepared for controlled assembly
Equipment requirement
A long horizontal heater must accommodate the process-tube relationship, axial zones, section joints, supports, service openings and electrical connections within the equipment envelope.
Product configuration
Dimension total and heated length, every zone boundary, support location, section interface, terminal direction and installation clearance on the heater drawing.
Information for quotation
The production drawing identifies every physical section, electrical circuit, support and connection point without requiring proprietary process recipes.

08Technical FAQ

Semiconductor diffusion-heater questions.

01Can customer drawings remain confidential?+

Yes. Project drawings, furnace details and process information are handled confidentially between the parties.

02Can multi-zone heating and terminals be integrated?+

Yes. Zone count, lengths, voltage, power, element system, terminal arrangement and control boundaries are designed as one electrical architecture.

03How are large assemblies packed?+

A standard export wooden case is used, with internal support and protection adapted to the assembly geometry and shipment requirements.
