SC20FAST Product Description

SC20FAST Magnetic Field Canceling Factor

The SC20FAST is a new version of our established SC20 field cancelling system that has been optimised to cancel the high frequency fields, typically at 9kHz, from robotic wafer transports in 300mm wafer fabs. These fields limit the performance of electron beam tools in the fab and are a barrier to achieving the next semiconductor device CD node.

Where there are also bad DC fields, an SC20/DCMR sensor can be added to the system. The outputs from the AC and DC sensors are combined with a 25Hz crossover frequency in a small adapter box that plugs into the back of the control unit. When the DC sensor is added, the cancelling factor is increased at low frequencies. The cancelling factor at 9kHz is unchanged.

The SC20FAST also works with the remote monitor designed for the standard SC20 to remotely monitor the status and measure field levels.
