DELTA Flow Ratio Controllers

Optimizing process performance just became easier with the DELTA™ Flow Ratio Controller (FRC). Widely used in a variety of flow splitting applications such as etching, stripping, and PECVD, the DELTA™ Flow Ratio Controller (FRC) provides users with the ability to distribute gas or gas mixtures to different zones in a process chamber. Send the DELTA™ Flow Ratio Controller (FRC) a gas - or any mixture - and a ratio set point and the DELTA™ Flow Ratio Controller (FRC) will divide the gas into separate output channels automatically.

Products

GE50A DELTA™ II Flow Ratio Controller

Process Optimization through Precise Ratio Control

DELTA™ II Flow Ratio Controller is a critical process control instrument in the MKS line of digital control, web-enabled products providing the latest in gas flow ratio measurement and control technology necessary to meet the demands of multi-channel flow distribution. It divides and controls mixed process gas flows to either multiple chambers or zones within a process chamber at ratios specified by the user maximizing process uniformity and repeatability. Send DELTA™ II a gas - or any mixture - and a ratio set point and it will split the gas into two separate output channels automatically and precisely.

  • Patented control algorithm for faster response-to-ratio set point
  • Wider dynamic control range for ratio control down to 5% of flow channel Full Scale flow
  • Bright LED display for easy viewing of flow ratio, temperature and Ethernet address

Applications

DELTA™ II mass flow ratio controller is used in a variety of flow splitting applications such as etch, strip, and CVD.

DELTA™ II "Stretch Body" Flow Ratio Controller

Drop-in Replacement for the Original DELTA™ FRC

DELTA™ II "Stretch Body" FRC has the same capabilities as the widely-used DELTA™ II, with significantly improved performance versus the original DELTA™ FRC. This "Stretched" version differs from the standard DELTA™ II only in its mechanical interface - it "fits" the space where older DELTA™ FRCs are used without tool plumbing changes. All DELTA™ FRCs share the same DeviceNet™ profile - no changes to host software are needed.
