- a cylinder is one of the most popular, commercially-available configurations, which provides a convenient, point-of-use heating solution.
- the cartridge heater can be easily inserted into a tube in a manner that a passage space between cartridge heater and the wall of the tube is provided to enable a fluid stream to pass through, thereby absorbing the heat generated by the cartridge heater.
- This type of cylinder-shaped cartridge heater is often called the single-pass cartridge heater.
- a system used in manufacturing semiconductor devices typically includes, among other things, a process tool, a vacuum pump arrangement having a booster pump and a backing pump, and an abatement device.
- the process tool typically includes a process chamber, in which a process step, such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), oxidation, ion implantation, etching, lithography, etc., takes place to construct a predetermined microstructure on a semiconductor substrate placed therein.
- the vacuum pump arrangement is connected to the process tool for evacuating the process chamber to create a vacuum environment required by the process step in the process chamber.
- the gas evacuated from the process chamber by the vacuum pump arrangement is typically directed to the abatement device connected to an exhaust outlet of the vacuum pump arrangement via a tube or pipeline.
- the abatement device destroys or decomposes the harmful or toxic components of the gas exhausted from the vacuum pump arrangement, so as to make it safe to be released to the environment.
- a single-pass cartridge heater is inserted into the, tube for heating up the exhaust gas passing through the tube in the tube, the single-pass cartridge heater is air-tightly secured by a nut at a first end of the cartridge heater.
- the single-pass cartridge heater extends inside and along the tube from the first end in a cantilever manner.
- the diameter of the single-pass cartridge heater is made smaller than the inner diameter of the tube, such that a passage space is formed between the single-pass cartridge heater and the tube.
