Proprietary Magnetic Annealing Technology

FD&S's core technology focuses on controlling the most critical parameters: Temperature, Vacuum, and Magnetic Field.

1. High-Stability Furnace Design

Our vacuum furnace is engineered for maximum thermal stability and rapid cycling. We ensure temperature uniformity better than standard specifications, which is crucial for achieving consistent magnetic properties across large-diameter wafers.

2. Precision Vacuum System

The integrated vacuum pumping system achieves ultra-high vacuum levels necessary to prevent oxidation and contamination during the high-temperature annealing process. Real-time vacuum monitoring ensures process integrity.

3. Optimized Magnet Field Uniformity

Whether using Permanent, Electro, or Super-conducting magnets, the magnetic field is meticulously mapped and controlled. Specialized shimming techniques guarantee field homogeneity, directly contributing to the yield and quality .
