BIOTECHNOLOGY & SEMICONDUCTOR

Mott High Purity – who for years has provided porous metal filters and flow restrictors for semiconductor manufacturing – also offers these same products in IGS-compatible designs. So now you can combine the ease of installation, stick component accessibility, ease of maintenance, reduced assembly time and compatibility between components that are typical of IGS, with the selection and performance benefits offered exclusively by Mott.

Mott’s mission is to provide customers with unique filtration and flow control solutions using materials specifically designed for demanding operating conditions, 9 LRV efficiency and exacting flow control. Our full line of IGS filters and flow restrictor products is designed for compatibility with the gas system interfaces currently being specified on process tools, gas cabinets, and valve manifold box installations per SEMI 2787. As the challenges of the 300mm conversion have emerged, our technology has provided the necessary solutions.

• High flow rates – Mott porous metal media has unique properties that allow for the production of a wider range of flow, material and configuration options than our competitors. This flexibility in geometry provides filters with flow ratings of up to 100 slpm while meeting the envelope requirements of the industry.
  
  
• Complete range of product configurations – Mott’s standard IGS modular mount offerings include the 1.125" configuration with C-Seal or W-Seal, as well as the 1.5" version with C-Seal or W-Seal. We have the design you need.
  
  
• Wide choice of materials – Mott IGS filters are constructed of 316L SS, Hastelloy^® C-22 or PENTA^® Nickel, the most comprehensive offering in the industry. This translates to chemical compatibility with virtually any gas used in semiconductor production today, without elastomers or other non-metallic materials which could flex or shed particles.
  

• Flexible flow control – Flow restrictors are available in IGS designs which exhibit the same reliability, quality and performance of the Mott in-line restrictors in wide use throughout the semiconductor industry.

High Purity Porous Metal Flow Restrictors for Surface Mount Systems.

Porous metal restrictors for 1.125" surface mount applications.

Mott Corporation supports the 1.125" and 1.5" high-flow C-Seal configuration of integrated gas systems with a full line of porous metal flow restrictors. These products use the same sealing specifications as described in SEMI PR 3.1 and provide the same high-quality flow restriction presently available in our 5140 series restrictors with traditional face seal design. All GSMR restrictor products are assembled and tested in a class 100 clean room environment. For W-Seal configurations, consult factory for specifications.

GSMR-20 spool piece design.

Configuration
Our spool piece design (GSMR-20 and 30) allows the modular restrictor to be mounted between the substrate and another two-port surface mount component. Please specify at time of order which port (center or side port) requires the porous restrictor. The spool piece requires seals for both sealing surfaces on top and bottom.

Specifications

• Materials of construction: Media and housing are 316L SS with a 10 Ra surface finish on all wetted surfaces
  
• Temperature: Up to 450°C (Inert gases)
  
• Pressure: Up to 120 psig
  
• Standard downstream flow rates from 50 slpm – higher flows available
