Drop-in Retention Upgrade Maintains Flow
ELKTON, MD, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 - - W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) has announced an addition to their line of high-performance cartridge filters for semiconductor applications. The new 40nm-rated filter, intended for use with chemicals in wet processes and distribution systems, provides 40nm retention while maintaining the flow of next-best-in-class 50nm filters.
GORE® Filters enable semiconductor fabs to realize both improved performance and lower cost of ownership. The drop-in substitution of GORE® Filters can upgrade retention performance and reduce particle counts while maintaining desired flow rate, as well as enable reduced processing times, higher flow rates and faster bath turnovers.
GORE® Filters for Semiconductor Applications were named as a Best of West Finalist at SEMICON West 2009.
