Mykrolis Introduces New High Flow Diffuser for Flat Panel and 300 mm Tools Specifically Designed for High Volume Throughput & Easily Customized BILLERICA, Mass., July 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mykrolis Corporation (NYSE:MYK), a leading supplier of components and subsystems to the semiconductor industry, will introduce the latest addition to the Chambergard(TM) Diffuser product line, the BGN High-Flow Diffuser, at SEMICON West (Booth# 726) from July 12-14, 2004. This new diffuser is specifically designed for use in high-flow applications such as load locks used for Flat Panel Display (FPD) and 300 mm tools. The Chambergard BGN Diffuser utilizes Mykrolis's patented nickel filter element to quickly disperse the flow of incoming gas, allowing the load lock chamber to fill at a higher rate without particle disturbance or excessive turbulence. The BGN removes submicron particle contamination from incoming gas and rapidly vents to the atmosphere, thereby decreasing cycle time. Its advanced technology allows FPD and 300 mm tool customers to retrofit the diffuser to work with their existing tool or have it built to order. "Until now, delivering large volumes of gas quickly to FPD and 300 mm tools was a challenge," says Robert Zeller, gas filtration product manager at Mykrolis, "Chambergard BGN is purposely designed to meet the needs of these customers. The large size gives them greater efficiency and decreases chamber vent time needed to meet their process objectives."
