What it is

The Edwards iXL120 is a dry pump system designed for clean-duty vacuum applications in semiconductor manufacturing and other industrial processes.[3][2]

The pump has a pumping speed of 65 CFM and an ultimate pressure of 0.01 Torr.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Edwards iXL120 dry vacuum pump is used to create and maintain vacuum conditions in various semiconductor manufacturing equipment, typically positioned as a backing pump or a process pump in a vacuum system.[2][3]

Applications

The Edwards iXL120 is suitable for clean-duty applications in all stages of semiconductor processing, including load lock transfer, metrology, lithography, and etch processes.[3]

The pump is applicable in dielectric and metal etch, and in chemical vapor deposition processes such as HDP-CVD, SACVD, MOCVD, PECVD, LPCVD, and ALD.[3]
