In many epitaxial processes, the deterioration and failure of the quartz sheath protecting thermocouples (TCs) dictate maintenance schedules and can lead to unscheduled maintenance. These premature TC failures cost valuable production time and impact the maintenance budget. To address this issue and extend the lifespan of TCs, Conax Technologies embarked on an 8-year project to develop an advanced TC sheath coating technology.
