Swagelok® Ultrahigh-Purity Valves for High-Flow Atomic Layer Processing Applications (ALD20 Series)
Swagelok ALD20 ultrahigh-purity valves offer a high flow capacity ideal for atomic layer deposition processes that require low-vapor pressure precursor gases.
Request ALD20 Valve InformationThe high-flow Swagelok® ALD20 ultrahigh-purity valve provides the reliability and performance expected of Swagelok® ALD valves while also enabling previously unattainable temperature stability and flow possibilities. It enables manufacturers to experiment with different processes and low-vapor pressure chemistries to achieve the uniform gas deposition needed to develop advanced technology without significantly changing processes.
The Swagelok ALD20 valve can:
- Deliver a of 1.2 Cv flow rate in the same footprint (1.5 in.) as existing ALD valves, offering improved performance without requiring retooling
- Provide an even greater 1.7 Cv with a slightly larger (1.75 in.) standard variant—the highest flow rate currently available from an ultrahigh-cycle life, ultrahigh-purity valve
- Be immersed in a gas box from 50°F (10°C) up to 392°F (200°C), eliminating the need to isolate the actuator during heating and improving deposition consistency
- Provide enhanced corrosion resistance with 316L VIM-VAR stainless steel or Alloy 22 body material options
- Support clean operation over the course of an ultrahigh cycle life for process integrity thanks to a highly polished bellows with a 5 μin. Ra finish
- Deliver high-speed (<10ms) repeatable actuation for precise, consistent flow to meet dosing requirements
Custom-set flow coefficients are also available.
