Simco-Ion 5225 Aerobar discharge bar for integration into systems and machinery

AeroBar Ionizing System 5225

Simco-Ion’s Model 5225 Digital AeroBar with Software Control is designed to handle the demanding requirements of in-tool ionization. With high ion output providing fast neutralization of electric charge on wafers, E78 compliance at the most stringent levels can be achieved.

  • Complete integration with tool control system
  • Fully adjustable parameters for each AeroBar
  • Ion current monitoring
  • Several lengths available including 3 specifically designed for EFEMs
  • Single-crystal silicon emitter points

Specifications

VoltageInput: 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1W (typ); powered by Interface Module Model 5200-IM6T Output: 0-20 kVDC, ±10% for each polarity on an individual AeroBar; positive or negative output levels can be adjusted separately through GUI
Output Current<15 µA, current and voltage limited
Control SignalRS-485 from the Interface Module
RegulationOutput and balance stability is achieved by independently regulating the ion emission current of each polarity at each ionizer
TimingBoth on and off timing for each polarity are settable from 0-10 sec @ 0.1 sec increments; LEDs on the bar indicate the polarity of the ion emission
Ion EmissionPulse DC, Steady-state DC, or standby
EmitterSingle-crystal Silicon or Titanium, replaceable
Cleanroom Class

ISO 14644-1 Class 1 (Single-crystal Silicon emitter) 

ISO 14644-1 Class 3 (Titanium emitter)

LED IndicatorIndividual red flash ON for each polarity; middle red flashes rapidly when in ALARM, all 3 blink at once when COMMUNICATION occurs; alarm relayed to tool GUI
AlarmAlarm activates when the bar is no longer able to maintain the preset ion output level; alarm is displayed visually by a red LED in the middle of the ionizer chassis as well as on GUI; settable threshold alarm limits for predictive maintenance
ConnectorRJ-11 modular jack receptacles
Ozone<0.005 ppm
EMIBelow background level
MaintenanceAnnual, semi-annual or quarterly emitter point cleaning depending on process sensitivity and presences of AMCs in environmen
EnclosureABS plastics, fire retardan
