ALTA Series - Digital Mass Flow ControllerBrochure

WWW.MKSINST.COMFlow Measurement & Control ALTA™ Mass Flow ControllersMETAL-SEALED TYPE 1480A The all-digital MKS ALTA Mass Flow Controller (MFC) includes technology improvements in functionality and performance to help users in semiconductor and high purity thin-film applications increase tool throughput and reduce overall system costs. To increase overall system throughput, the ALTA MFC features fast gas settling times to meet the productivity demands of next generation process tools. To facilitate better chamber matching, the ALTA features improved accuracy to 1% of set point.Cost savings to users are seen through several innovative enhancements. To reduce the number of MFCs in inventory, users can recall specific MFC gas calibrations and flow ranges from up to 20 stored gas tables, configuring the ALTA MFC right off the shelf. The ALTA represents MKS’ ongoing dedication to helping customers increase productivity while reducing system costs.Features & BenefitsIncreases Throughput and Performance• Reduces process cycle times due to fast gas settling times• Enables better chamber matching through increased MFC accuracy • Increases tool uptime through reduction on “No Problem Found” MFC replace- ments — DeviceNet™ versions include embedded diagnostics software that allows users to check MFC function- ality without removing the MFCReduces Overall Costs• Reduces MFC inventory through multi- gas, multi-range capability• DeviceNet configuration significantly reduces MFC cabling• Open standard DeviceNet protocol provides accessibility to key MFC functions, including flow totalizer and selected trip pointsUS Patent No. 5,314,164, 5,461,913 Foreign Patents, Patents PendingWhere Technology Meets ProductionAs a technology leader in MFCs, the ALTA represents what users want most – cost effective technology and innovation that meets their production needs and is easy to use.To enable ease of integration into next generation or existing process tools, a variety of mechanical configurations exist, including surface mount and VCR®. Coupled with its compact size, the ALTA MFC provides an ideal way to migrate from existing analog MFCs where reducing MFC inventory and improving process repeatability are important. Afraid of MFC downtime? Reliability has also been designed into the ALTA. Proven through rigorous stressed life (STRIFE) testing, the ALTA is indeed a production- worthy MFC. To ensure that customers can easily use the ALTA MFC, the ALTA gas tables can be configured electronically by the customer to meet specific application requirements. For DeviceNet™ configurations, this is performed through the DeviceNet protocols. On analog I/O versions, these gas tables are modified through a separate port using an MKS interface installed on a laptop computer.Our award winning manufacturing facility is well versed in producing high quality MFCs to meet the demands of critical ultra-high purity applications. ALTA MFCs are manufactured in our Class 100 cleanroom, in accordance with ISO 9001 procedures. With short lead times to accomodate your ever changing delivery schedules, the ALTA MFC meets your business requirements as well as your technical specifications. Designed with production requirements in mind, the ALTA MFC offers process reliability and gas selection flexibility for all your gas delivery applications.Figure 1 —ALTA User Interface Screen illustrating multi-gas and multi-flow capa-bilitiesFigure 2 —ALTA Data Acquisition and Control ModeSpecificationsAnalog I/O Input Voltage Required Max. current at start-up (first 5 sec) ± 15 VDC (± 5%) @ 350 mA Typical current at steady state ± 15 VDC (± 5%) @ 250 mA 24 VDC (nominal) @ 300 mA (available on special basis) Set Point Command Signal 0 to 5 VDC Output Signal 0 to 5 VDC Output Impedance < 1 ?
