ImageProduct Briefing Outline: Emerson Process Management has formed a strategic alliance with MSP Corporation to incorporate Brooks Instrument flow control technologies into the design of the MSP Model 2800 Turbo-Vaporizer. The Model 2800 Turbo-Vaporizer is an enabling technology that has already demonstrated proven performance for depositing hafnium-based high-k dielectric films in commercial DRAM production. Two Brooks mass flow devices in the vaporizer make this capability possible.


Problem:
Today's leading edge dielectric and metal films require delivery of complex liquid molecules to the process chamber. Current vaporization technology can destroy these complex molecules due to longterm exposure to high temperatures, braking the internal bonds of the precursors. Problems also exist in controlling the liquid mass delivery with a high level of accuracy independent of fluid properties.

Solution:
This unique new vaporization system solves many of the quality and yield issues attributed to traditional liquid vaporizers used in and ALD semiconductor processes. The result is a high performance solution that can be used to vaporize new Brooks MSP Model 2800 Turbo-VaporizerTM precursors needed in the semiconductor industry to create advanced films. The Model 2800 Turbo-Vaporizer is a direct liquid injection (DLI) vaporizer that uses fine droplet technology to vaporize temperature-sensitive liquid precursor chemicals. It virtually eliminates particulate formation when compared to conventional flash vaporizers, where precursor thermal decomposition leads to degraded film quality, contaminated wafers, loss of product yield, and unreliable vaporizer operation. The MSP Turbo-Vaporizer uses a Brooks QUANTIM Coriolis mass flow controller for precise delivery of precursor liquids and a Brooks thermal mass flow controller (MFC) for the carrier gas assist system. The Coriolis sensor at the heart of the QUANTIM flow controller measures fluid mass directly, independent of physical properties of the fluid, making it more versatile for use with a wide range of liquid precursors.

Applications:
CVD & ALD processes.

Platform: The model 2800 is now standard equipped with Brooks Instrument liquid and gas MFC's. The 3 stage vaporizer uses VCR fittings for inlet and outlet. A
liquid shutoff vale is provided and closely located to the atomizer tp provide positive liquid shutoff.

Availability: July 2005 onwards.
