Product Description
Verteq ST600-C1-MC2-PVDF Megasonic Wash Basin – Semiconductor Wet Processing Station
This used Verteq ST600-C1-MC2-PVDF is a specialized megasonic wash basin designed for semiconductor wafer cleaning and wet processing applications. The PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) construction provides exceptional chemical resistance against the aggressive acids, bases, and solvents used in semiconductor manufacturing.
Verteq (now part of Akrion Technologies and supported by SITEK Process Solutions) was a leading supplier of wet processing equipment for surface preparation applications, including wafer cleaning, rinsing, and drying systems .
About Verteq Megasonic Technology
Megasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves (typically 0.8-2 MHz) to enhance chemical cleaning processes on silicon wafers. Verteq’s Sunburst™ megasonic technology provides:
-
Variable frequency control for optimized cleaning
-
Precise power delivery to transducer arrays
-
Chemical-resistant PVDF construction for wet environments
-
Consistent, repeatable results for critical cleaning steps
A Verteq focused beam, chain drive bath operating at 922 kHz with 300W maximum input power (supplied to two flat transducers) has been documented in semiconductor research applications .
