Industry Specific Applications For UV Technology TOC Reduction in microelectronics, pharmaceuticals and power industries

Reduction of total organic carbon (TOC) is critical for a number of industries who use ultrapure water, such as microelectronics, pharmaceuticals and power industries.

UV applications in microelectronics includes UV disinfection, TOC reduction, chlorine & chloramines reduction and ozone reduction.

As critical dimensions for integrated circuits continue to decrease, transistor capacities continue to increase, line widths become tighter, contaminants in the ppb levels can produce yield-impacting defects.

ESCO International has developed a range of UV processes that specifically address the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels coming from a wide range of organic compounds, such as Isopropyl alcohol, Acetone, Chloroform and others to reduce them to sub-ppb levels. 

ESCO International uses highly efficient, high power low pressure amalgam UV lamps. These lamps deliver the crucial 185 nm wavelength necessary for TOC reduction.

Effective TOC reduction using UV technology has been shown to have significant benefits in integrated chip manufacturing and improved life cycle costs of critical process equipment components.

For complex refractory organic and volatile compounds, high TOC concentrations (ppm levels) and water treatment for reclaim & reuse purposes, ESCO International offers Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs).

Our AOP treatment solutions include:

• UV/Ozone
• UV/H2O2
• UV/Ozone/H2O2
• Ozone/H2O2

ESCO International provides a comprehensive selection of advanced treatment technologies and solutions which include high output amalgam and medium pressure UV systems and engineered ozone & advanced oxidation processes (AOP).
