What it is

The Thermo Scientific OMH 60 is an oven manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific. The OMH 60 belongs to the Heratherm series of laboratory and semiconductor ovens. The tool is classified within the thermal/diffusion equipment category.[1][3][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Heating is typically provided by electric resistance elements. The oven liner is constructed from stainless steel to resist corrosion and facilitate cleaning. Temperature sensors, often thermocouples, provide feedback to the control system.

Frequently asked questions

What are the typical temperature ranges for thermal/diffusion furnaces?General reference — not yet source-verified

Thermal/diffusion furnaces in semiconductor processing operate across a broad temperature range, typically from several hundred degrees Celsius up to over a thousand degrees Celsius, depending on the process step such as oxidation, diffusion, or annealing.

How do thermal/diffusion furnaces ensure uniform processing across a batch of wafers?General reference — not yet source-verified

Uniformity is achieved through precise temperature control along the length of the furnace tube, often using multiple heating zones. Gas flow dynamics and wafer spacing also help maintain consistent exposure to heat and reactants for each wafer in the batch.

What safety considerations are important for thermal/diffusion systems?General reference — not yet source-verified

Safety considerations include handling flammable and toxic process gases (e.g., silane, diborane), managing high exhaust temperatures, and ensuring proper interlocks for the furnace door. Operators must follow protocols for gas cylinder storage and emergency shutdown procedures.

Can thermal/diffusion furnaces be used for both oxidation and LPCVD processes?General reference — not yet source-verified

Yes, many thermal/diffusion systems are designed to perform multiple process types—thermal oxidation, diffusion, annealing, and LPCVD—by changing the gas chemistry, temperature profile, and pressure conditions. However, dedicated LPCVD systems may offer better film uniformity for specific materials.
