Simco-Ion’s Model 5635M AeroBar MP ionizing bar is specifically designed to eliminate static charge in semiconductor and other ultra-clean manufacturing processes where fast discharge time, low swing voltages and precision balance are required, but exposed metallic surfaces are not permitted. The Model 5635M utilizes MP technology, combining a high frequency sine wave with modulated pulses (MP) for high ion output and delivery. This breakthrough technology enables AeroBar mounting within 150 mm of the wafer. MP technology, combined with ultra-clean silicon emitter points and precision adjustment, provides ISO 14644-12 ionization (0.01 mm particles or nanoparticles) and ISO 14644 Class 1 (0.1 mm particles) cleanliness, critical for smaller technology nodes. For processes that do not require extreme cleanliness, the optional air-assist accelerates ion delivery, providing faster discharge times and performance over longer distances. MP technology is easy to adjust and features the ability to fine-tune voltage, frequency and balance to meet differing environmental and product sensitivity requirements. Shorter bars (<600 mm) feature 50 mm spacing between nozzles, to improve ion distribution in close applications.

Simple Installation
The Model 5635M ionizing bar is quickly installed by simply plugging into a 24 VDC source and connecting an air line, (if air-assist is desired). Set the DIP switches for general power levels as defined in the user’s manual to activate factory settings for a base discharge performance. Users can then fine-tune the control parameters from the bar or through the easy to use software GUI for installations where optimized balance, swing voltage and discharge times are desired. An alarm connection in the Signal and Power Junction Box enables a signal output to the tool or central computer for FMS monitoring.
Cleanliness
Model 5635M is designed to operate in and maintain ISO 14644-1 Class 1 cleanliness (10 particles or less per m3 for particles of 0.1 micron and larger). Model 5635M will also perform to ISO 14644-12 cleanliness (1200 particles or less per m3 (34 particles per ft3) for particles of 0.01 micron and larger) when operated at 45-50% output voltage setting and OpenJet nozzles with single crystal silicon emitters.
ISO 14644-1 (1999) establishes 9 particulate class limits. A class is met when airborne particles-per-cubic-meter (or particles-per-cubic-foot) do not exceed the class limit. The following graph summarizes the class limit lines for particles between 0.1 micron and 5 microns.
The Model 5601 Power Distribution Box can be used to centralize power and software control for up to 8 MP AeroBars.
