Excimer lamps/Excimer irradiation unit
Excimer VUV light is the very high-energy light generated by lamps containing noble gases or noble-gas hydride compounds. Externally applying high-energy electrons to a sealed lamp containing a noble gas or noble gas hydride compound generates intense plasma discharge (dielectric barrier discharge). This plasma features high-energy electron content, and can be extinguished instantly. The plasma discharge instantly excites the atoms of the discharge gas (noble gas) to their excimer (Xe) state (high-energy orbital atoms form excimer excited molecules). The excimer-specific spectrum is emitted when atoms return from this excimer state to their original condition (ground state). This emission is called VUV light. * * * * For inquiries regarding "222 nm ultraviolet (UV-C) light antibacterial and viral inactivation device," please contact : Sales Department, XEFL BU, Light Source Business Division TEL: +81-3-5657-1016 / E-Mail: care222_sales@ushio.co.jp

-
Halogen lamp heaters
These halogen lamp heaters were developed to efficiently extract the infrared light from the halogen lamp, with more than 85% of the input power converted into heat, resulting in a very efficient energy source. Heating by halogen lamp is rich in flexibility and controllability, with excellent characteristics no other heat source can provide. Ushio's heat processing systems are used in various industrial fields such as electronic device manufacturing processes like semiconductors and LCDs, and heating of auto parts and resin materials such as CFRP.
-
Flash lamp annealer
Flash lamp annealing allows very short heating processes as quick as one millisecond. UV to visible wavelength light emitted from the flash lamp can concentrate heat on a substrate (material) surface so that the thermal influence on the underlying film or substrate can be extremely small compared with conventional heat sources. This millisecond surface heat treatment is becoming an essential technology for future device developments such as zero diffusion of semiconductor implanted layers and thermal budget reduction. Flash lamp heating is also used to produce reactions such as crystallization, bonding, peeling, decomposition and curing. These characteristics are effectively applied in various research and development applications such as Si wafers, SiC wafers, glass, plastic films and other flexible substrates, as well as in production (manufacturing) line applications. We welcome requests for experimental demonstrations. Please feel free to contact us.
