Meet the Next-Generation Cleanroom Monitors: T-I Max Series

Building on the success of our proven ambient Tiger-i air monitors, we proudly introduce the next-generation T-I Max series. Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) directly affects product yields and the performance of semiconductor fabrication tools. T-I Max monitors, designed to detect trace amounts of ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and hydrogen fluoride (HF) in cleanrooms, offer significant improvements in detection limits and speed of response.

Our well-regarded Tiger-i platform of instruments take scant minutes to respond to intrusions, yet the T-I Max NH₃ delivers even faster measurement performance and detects down to parts-per-trillion (ppt) level of the contaminant.

With T-I Max, Your Selective Catalytic Reduction Can Curb Ammonia Slip

Ammonia, an odor nuisance at a local level, is a critical atmospheric pollutant in its own right and also a major contributor to the formation of airborne particulate matter. The transport of secondary pollution, as well as ammonia itself, has a negative impact on air quality many miles from its source. It can also corrode plant infrastructure and foul equipment downstream, adding to maintenance costs and downtime at power plants, refineries, kilns, and other industrial combustion sources.  Since NH₃ is often the reducing agent added to exhaust gas to be adsorbed onto a catalyst, it is crucial to measure and adjust the input efficiently.

Tiger Optics’ Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) is ideally suited to the requirements of numerous environmental measurement applications, including process control for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for these reasons:

• Drift-free, with accuracy traceable to the world’s major national reference labs
• Freedom from interference
• No periodic sensor replacement/maintenance
• Speed of response within seconds
• Wide dynamic range

The low maintenance and calibration-free nature of Tiger’s CRDS technology also affords extremely low Cost-of-Ownership and allows users to operate with confidence and ease in the field.

The company will display its HALO QRP (quite reduced pressure) moisture analyser, developed for semiconductor manufacturers using low-temperature epitaxy (LT-Epi). With the shift to lower deposition temperatures and pressures, moisture has become the main culprit in oxide defects. The HALO QRP can monitor each process step and report real-time moisture concentration to the tool control system. The device easily operates at 1 Torr or less, in comparison to the company’ HALO RP, which is limited to 50 Torr.

Tiger Optics is equally focussed on its customers’ growing concerns with ambient molecules that lead to contamination of wafers. The company has therefore developed the new T-I Max platform for continuous AMC monitoring, designed to rapidly measure a specific analyte, with no cross-contamination or interference from other chemicals in the air.

The final product to be unveiled will be the new state-of-the-art AMC mobile cart to package its analysers for cleanroom environments. The cart can accommodate up to four T-I Max analysers and is also fitted with a top-mounted central control touchscreen.

Tiger Optics CEO Lisa Bergson, said, “Building on our decades of work with bulk and speciality gas in the sub-fab, we are also in the cleanroom, serving the industry’s tools and their micro-environments

Dopants and Specialty Gases are widely used in deposition processes in the semiconductor and solar industries. To save on transport fees, leading fabs in Asia are moving towards blending Germane at their locations, requiring on-site analysis. Our CRDS analyzers, with cost-saving low flow rates and fast speed of response, are ideal for moisture analysis in Arsine (AsH3), Phosphine (PH3), Ammonia (NH3) as pure gases, and mixture gases containing Germane (GeH4) and Phosphine (PH3) with Hydrogen (H2). 

Along with NASA scientists, Tiger Optics LLC (USA) had reason to cheer when the Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit in July, capping its five-year journey from Cape Canaveral. Prior to Juno’s launch on August 5, 2011, a Tiger Optics trace-gas analyser helped NASA keep the scientific payload in prime condition.

As demonstrated in the Juno mission, Tiger Optics’ HALO trace-gas analyser plays a critical role in detecting contaminants that could compromise the performance of scientific instruments in space. Such scientific instruments are designed to operate in the vacuum of space, in the absence of chemicals present in the earth’s atmosphere: water, oxygen, and particulate matter. Prior to launch, the space-bound instruments must be protected from earthly contaminants by storing the payload under a flow of high-purity inert gas. Nitrogen is usually the inert gas chosen for the task. Typically, the moisture level in NASA’s high-purity nitrogen must be kept under 1 ppm. Tiger Optics’ HALO H2O analyser comfortably handled that requirement for the Juno mission, because the device measures moisture in a range from 2 ppb to 20 ppm.

After Juno entered Jupiter’s orbit on July 4, NASA scientists powered up the science instruments aboard the spacecraft for its first close “flyby” of the planet on August 27. On September 2, NASA reported that all eight of Juno’s science instruments were successfully energised and collecting data. Indeed, on the first of 36 scheduled orbital flybys, six megabytes of data were collected during the six-hour transit of the spacecraft from above Jupiter’s north pole to below its south pole. While analysis of the data is ongoing, NASA quickly published the first-ever images of Jupiter’s north pole.

“Tiger Optics is honoured that its technology is trusted to support our nation’s journey into the frontiers of space,” said Lisa Bergson, Tiger Optics’ chief executive. - See more at: here.

The company’s HALO trace-gas analyser played a crucial role in detecting contaminants that could have compromised the performance of scientific instruments in space.

The space-bound sensing instruments were designed to operate in the vacuum of space without oxygen (O₂), water or particulate matter and as such needed to be protected under a flow of high-purity inert gas.

Tiger Optics’ HALO H₂O analyser was chosen to measure the quality of nitrogen (N₂) flow as it can measure any moisture in a range from two parts per billion (ppb) to 20 parts per million (ppm).

Tiger Optics Chief Executive Lisa Bergson was thrilled with the company’s role in the project and stated, “Tiger Optics is honoured that its technology is trusted to support our nation’s journey into the frontiers of space.” 

The Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit on 4^th July, capping its five-year journey from Cape Canaveral and by 2^nd September, all eight instruments were successfully energised and began collecting data. Within days, NASA was able to publish the first-ever images of Jupiter’s north pole.

When NASA’s Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit in July of this year (2016), capping its five-year journey from Cape Canaveral, and captured the first-ever images of Jupiter’s polar regions, a cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS)-based gas analyzer made by Tiger Optics (Warrington, PA) had everything to do with the prime condition of the spacecraft’s scientific payload; prior to Juno’s launch on August 5, 2011, the trace-gas analyzer helped NASA keep the scientific payload in prime condition.

Tiger Optics notes that its CRDS-based instruments gas analyzers and atmospheric and environmental monitors are used in ultraclean environments such as semiconductor fabs as well as harsh environments like coal-fired stacks.
