Brooks GF120 Thermal Mass Flow Controllers Now Available with a Safe Delivery System Option


HATFIELD, Pa. - Brooks Instrument, a world-leading provider of advanced flow, pressure, vacuum and level solutions, now offers a new Safe Delivery System (SDS®) option for its GF120 mass flow controllers. The GF120 SDS is a low-pressure drop mass flow controller that delivers sub-atmospheric SDS gases used in implant and etch processes.

Sub-atmosphereic SDS gases are adsorbed onto a solid medium within the gas cylinder, remaining below atmospheric pressure despite containing up to 15 times more dopant than conventional pressurized sources. Most mass flow controllers require a 50 Torr differential pressure at flow rates of 5 sccm; however, with that pressure drop, only about 65 percent of the dopant can be extracted. The GF120 SDS low-pressure operation enables a further 30% of the dopant to be extracted. This drives significant cost-savings in SDS gases and equipment.

The GF120 SDS models may also be used in other challenging applications that require low pressure drop. These devices are available in full-scale flow ranges from 4 sccm to 1 slpm. For more information about the GF120 SDS, visit brooksinstrument.com.
