EBARA CORPORATION will launch the Model LPCMN combustion-based exhaust gas abatement system, engineered to safely neutralize process gases in semiconductor manufacturing. Sales are set to begin in January 2025.

1．Background

The semiconductor manufacturing industry increasingly employs a variety of specialized gases, making it essential not only to abate them safely but also to minimize reactive byproducts that can hinder continuous operation. By addressing these needs, EBARA has developed the new Model LPCMN, which enhances processing and durability performance over its predecessor, Model TND.

2． Key Features

The Model LPCMN incorporates the following four key features：

① Reduction of Byproduct Adhesion and NOx/COx Emissions
Achieving a high Destruction and Removal Efficiency (DRE) of over 95% for hard-to-decompose gases like CF4, Model LPCMN utilizes a newly developed dual-stage combustion burner. This innovation reduces byproduct adhesion within the gas processing chamber while also lowering NOx/COx emissions.

②Compact Design for Space Efficiency
The unit’s height has been reduced by approximately 50% compared to previous models, allowing for more effective use of upper space in facilities.

③Hydrogen Fuel Option
In addition to conventional fossil fuel, the Model LPCMN lineup now includes a hydrogen fuel option for customers seeking more sustainable energy choices.

④Maximum Airflow Capacity of 600L/min
Despite its compact form, the Model LPCMN maintains the same high airflow capacity of 600L/min as the Model TND, ensuring optimal performance.
