JONSN Precision Gear Pump – Precision Photoresist Delivery Solution

1. Overview

Photoresist (PR) is the key medium determining pattern transfer quality in semiconductor manufacturing. Its delivery system must strictly stabilize the flow rate, viscosity and temperature of photoresist for nanometer linewidth processes. Slight flow fluctuation or bubble entrainment will trigger linewidth deviation, pattern defects or scrapped wafer batches.

4. Core Advantages of JONSN

  1. Magnetic Seal-free Drive, Zero Leakage & Zero Bubble EntrainmentMRA series adopts magnetic coupling transmission to completely avoid wear and leakage risks of traditional mechanical seals. Fully enclosed flow channel prevents air intake, realizing bubble-free photoresist delivery, an essential requirement for sub-10nm advanced processes.

  2. High-precision & Consistent Flow, No Batch DeviationPrecision meshing gear cavity ensures fixed displacement per rotation. MRA flow accuracy reaches ±0.3%; flow attenuation less than 0.1% after 72h continuous operation, batch-to-batch consistency ±0.5%, realizing closed-loop control of wafer film thickness uniformity.

  3. Full Chemical Compatibility, Single Pump for Multiple MediaThree material systems (PTFE/PEEK/SS316L) cover all semiconductor process liquids including photoresist, TMAH developer, HF/H₂SO₄ etchant and CMP slurry without cross-contamination, supporting multi-process switching with one pump.

  4. Low-shear Design to Protect Medium Molecular StructureOptimized gear profile and clearance reduce internal shear stress, preventing fracture of photoresist polymer chains and agglomeration of CMP slurry particles, maintaining original medium performance during delivery.

  5. Integrated Temperature Control for Viscosity Closed-loop LockingOptional heating jacket and temperature sensors integrate temperature control on pump body with ±0.5°C accuracy to stabilize photoresist viscosity, eliminating extra external temperature control modules and simplifying system layout.

  6. Cleanroom Design Compliant with ISO Class 5Internal pump surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.4μm, dead-space-free flow path supporting full CIP cleaning coverage. Output particle standard meets ISO 14644-1 Class 5, suitable for 10nm and below process nodes.
