OEMs: adapt quickly to your customers’ challenges and maintain your competitive edge

A range of power controllers designed by engineers, for engineers

«Within the semiconductor fab community… with fierce competition… ratcheting up efficiency efforts and taking a 20% to 30% bite out of annual energy costs can offer competitive advantage and improve profit margins».

Source: Mckinsey-Bringing energy efficiency to the fab

Semiconductor fabrication owners need visibility into how energy is used throughout the fab plant if they are going to accomplish their energy reduction goals. Eurotherm contributes through improved power control performance, helping machine builders, fabs and foundries to meet these demands.

Energy performance

Accurate, repeatable, multi zone temperature control aids energy optimization
Heat cycle optimization reduces processing time
Specialized control algorithms and EtherCAT communication enable fast response to temperature disturbances with minimal overshoot

Power factor optimization

Advanced control and firing modes allow harmonic noise reduction and power factor optimization
Lower or eliminate power factor penalties on the energy bill

Energy usage diagnostics

EPack™ compact SCR power controllers offer monitoring and diagnostics for improving energy efficiency and up-time

Optimize production output

Numerical control aids precision and repeatability which allows the EPack controller to achieve greater thermal uniformity of wafers during heat/cool processing, for sustainable performance and durability.
