Stainless Steel (SS & SST)

Stainless Steel (SS & SST)

Tiger Tank—for today’s advanced deep-submicron wafer cleaning. PCT’s Tiger Tank Constant Temperature Bath construction exceeds the most stringent demands of today’s wafer fabrication facilities. The Tiger Tank series of baths delivers unequalled performance, stability, reliability, and safety. They are available in all standard sizes and are compatible with existing standard bath controllers. Custom-size units are available on request. The combination of a time-proven heating system and improved design and manufacturing techniques makes Tiger Tank the longest-life unit available today. Book a Demo

PCT offers virtually any standard size stainless steel process tank as well as custom sizing for virtually any substrate. In combination with the rest of the PCT technology, PCT stainless steel tanks are fabricated from a single sheet of material providing the smoothest and purest material surface available. PCT knows that critical processes require the highest quality electropolished surface finish and purity to ensure optimum processing results. Easy integration for replacement and maintenance for virtually any wet bench system

Tiger Tanks™ Constant Temperature Baths

Designed for today’s advanced deep-submicron wafer processing, PCT’s Tiger Tank Constant Temperature Bath construction exceeds the most stringent demands of today’s wafer fabrication facilities. Tiger Tanks deliver unequaled performance, stability, reliability, longer life, and incorporate improved safety features.

• A time-proven, rugged, high efficiency heater features low watt densities for extended life. The Tiger Tank heater is intimately contacted to the vessel and covers a larger area of the vessels external surface for greater heat transfer efficiency and temperature uniformity.

• The superior insulation used in Tiger Tanks further enhances the overall thermal efficiencies of the unit, reducing external heat generated in operation and reducing electricity consumption.

• Standard fire-retardant polypropylene housing construction, FM 4910 enclosures available

• An improved and proprietary flange / seal design further extends bath life and protects against capillary action induced leakage that would normally cause corrosive heater failure

• Tiger Tanks include dual redundant over temperature sensor protection; a thermocouple and thermal switch bonded to the outer wall of the vessel for optimal safety
