[labnetwork] Hydrogen Generation

[Tom Britton]

Hello Thomas,

Whether or not this is a good buy will depend on how much Hydrogen you are going to use. We've placed hydrogen generators in the past in place of gas cabinets, but they were much larger than the 600 ccs mentioned here. Will 600 ccs meet your needs now and when your lab is built out? Does it give you adequate pressure for your needs? Where does it need to be located in relation to the tool to deliver adequate pressure and flow? If this provides all the H2 you will need, and it's only $12K, it will probably work fine. If you think you'll need more down the road, you'll probably eclipse the capacity of the generator and have to go the gas cabinet route anyways.

We offer reconditioned gas delivery and abatement systems, so we could probably come in between the two and give you capacity for future expansion at a cost more in line with your budget. If you want to discuss, please let me know.

I'll check this unit out and see what the industry is saying about it.

Enjoy the day,

Tom

Colleagues,

We're in the process of designing our gas cabinet and abatement layout for our fab.

I just met with the sales representative from Proton and we're looking at Hogen GC600 (99.9999%) purity hydrogen delivery system (600cc a minute)

I can't find any holes in the argument for Hydrogen generation for ~$12k, when a gas cabinet will cost me ~$20K

Does anyone have any thoughts on this unit or Hydrogen generation in general ? (primarily for PECVD)

Thanks...
