FractallFill™ Products

The Tres-Ark Liquid Dispense Module (TAKLDM) & the Tres-Ark Liquid Dispense Module Plus (TAKLDM+) are turnkey solutions for implementing real-time closed loop control of multi-variant chemical blends to meet today's exacting (International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors) requirements in advanced semiconductor wafer cleaning & etching processes.

Both the TAKLDM & the TAKLDM+ contain FractalFill™ Blending, Tres-Ark's patented blending control.

The TAKLDM+ contains the same features as the TAKLDM but with the ability to supply chemical solutions to multiple tools. Both systems result in enhanced wafer yield, reduced process time & reduced cost of ownership.

    10. CE, Semi S2 & S8, IEC, EN, F47 Certified

  1. Additional Info

    Autolytics Tech Drawing
    1. The wetted path components are all PVDF or PFA, and all tanks and manifolds are constructed with appropriate materials suitable for organic or inorganic chemistries.
    2. Closed loop control is continuous and the control scheme allows the user to set very tight control actions.
    3. A unique blending technique, the patented pending method is used to fill the reservoir so that exact blending is achieved during the volume fill sequence.
    4. For spray systems, replenishment of the reservoir is handled "on-the-fly" with no interruption for processing.
