Model AX6550/AX6560

AX6550/AX6560 are the reactors in a series that incorporates former ASTeX newest development in microwave reactor technology. The AX6550/AX6560 enable the user sufficient production capacity to capture a significant market share in the rapidly expanding thermal management and the highly competitive tool markets.

 

Figure 1 shows silicon wafer in a 4-inch diameter loading platform. The AX6550/AX6560 is designed to provide clear and easy access to substrates, making loading and unloading a simple operation.This design also allows the straightforward implementation of robotics for loading operations.
