Versum Materials Introduces Smart, Fab-wide Heat Sourcing and Control for Electronic Specialty Gases in Semiconductor Fabs

Versum Materials, Inc. (NYSE: VSM), a leading materials supplier to the semiconductor industry, announced today that has significantly upgraded its GASGUARD eV temperature control system by adding a remote-mount controller option. The system delivers smart, state-of-the-art heat sourcing and control of specialty gases that require heating before delivery to the tool in semiconductor manufacturing fabs.

“First introduced in 2016, the GASGUARD eV temperature control system has proven to reduce the cost of heating, increase performance and enhance the user experience in delivering safe and reliable temperature control,” said Kerry M. Lanza, product manager for the Versum Materials GASGUARD Delivery Systems and Services Group (DS&S).

The newly enhanced system lowers cost of ownership, improves uptime and simplifies troubleshooting with top and remote mount options and a smaller footprint. The fully certified, code-compliant eV model includes an electrochemical compression heater/controller and a gas cabinet with two 700-watt blankets and two heat traces to accommodate two A or B size cylinders. It also includes a GASGUARD AP11 controller, which provides integrated monitoring and control and offers a single power feed with optional dual power.

“Our customers reported that eV temperature control technology provides steady and precise temperature and pressure control, enhanced Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) temperature control, overheating protection and continuous monitoring. Equally important, our system ensures an uninterrupted flow of gas with no temperature peaks and valleys,” said Lanza, adding that the eV system has proven its value as an element in the “smart manufacturing” methods adopted in today’s fabs.

According to Lanza, about one-third of the gas delivery systems sold by Versum Materials use heating to flow low-temperature gases and the Company strives to improve the systems flexibility by taking temperature control technology anywhere on the floor where it is needed.

More than 60 years of experience backs GASGUARD gas and chemicals delivery systems for the semiconductor, thin-film-transistor (TFT) LCD and photovoltaics industry. These delivery systems include automatic, semiautomatic and manual versions in a variety of configurations—from a single source to a multiple cylinder source and purge system and can accommodate the full range of hazardous gases: flammable, pyrophoric, corrosive, toxic and highly-toxic, all tailored to meet specific manufacturing needs.

Built on a legacy of more than 30 years of manufacturing and supplying some 30,000 advanced materials and delivery systems, Versum Materials continues to design and build safer, more reliable delivery equipment for high-purity gas and liquid distribution.
