Features

Applications

The PPCMA can be configured for 10 to 1000 Torr Full Scale pressure with a control range from 5 to 100% of Full Scale. The PPCMA pressure controller is suitable for transport chamber pressure control, critical backside wafer pressure control and process gas panel pressure balancing as well as run-vent pressure control applications. The valve and flow meter can be configured for Full Scale flow rates from 5 to 5000 sccm Full Scale depending on process conditions.

Digital I/O

The PPCMA is available with either digital (DeviceNet™ or EtherCAT®) I/O allowing for straightforward integration into new or retrofit applications. In-situ tuning and component diagnostics are enhanced through the device’s micro USB user interface accessible via virtually any PC with a web browser.
