LAM 810-031325-104

Product introduction

The LAM 810-031325-104 is a compact single-pump vacuum control unit from LAM Research, engineered to address vacuum control needs in space-constrained environments—such as lab-scale semiconductor R&D tools (LAM 500 Series) and legacy mid-range systems (LAM 770 Series). As a specialized solution for 45nm–28nm chip manufacturing and R&D, it focuses on precision control of a single turbomolecular pump (TMP) or backing pump, filling the gap between multi-pump controllers (e.g., LAM 810-802902-208) and basic manual regulators. Unlike bulkier dual-pump modules, the LAM 810-031325-104 prioritizes portability and low power consumption, making it ideal for university labs or small pilot fabs.

In automation systems, the LAM 810-031325-104 acts as a “compact vacuum brain,” linking pump operation to real-time data from LAM sensors (e.g., LAM 716-028123-004 for UHV, LAM 716-021894-001 for low-vacuum). For example, in a LAM 500 lab tool used for 45nm MOS research, the LAM 810-031325-104 reduces pump ramp time by 15% (from 10 minutes to 8.5 minutes per experiment) by optimizing RPM adjustments—accelerating R&D timelines without sacrificing pressure stability. Its wide 100–240 VAC voltage range also eliminates the need for power converters, supporting global deployments in diverse industrial settings.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Space-Saving 1U/Desktop Design: The LAM 810-031325-104’s ultra-slim form factor (1U rack-mount or desktop) cuts installation space by 50% compared to 2U dual-pump modules. For lab-scale tools, the desktop configuration frees up bench space for wafer probers or measurement equipment; for legacy LAM 770 Series racks, the 1U option fits alongside existing modules, avoiding costly rack expansions (saving ~$15,000 per fab). A U.S. university lab reported that the LAM 810-031325-104 eliminated the need for a dedicated equipment rack, reducing lab footprint by 30%.

Single-Pump Precision for Consistent R&D/Production: Optimized for standalone TMP or backing pump control, the LAM 810-031325-104 delivers ±1.0% speed accuracy—critical for applications where a single pump drives vacuum cycles (e.g., lab-scale ALD). In a European R&D lab testing 45nm oxide deposition, the LAM 810-031325-104 maintained TMP speed at 85% RPM with ±0.8% variance, cutting film thickness variation by 22% vs. generic controllers (±2.0% accuracy). Adjustable ramp rates (1.0–5.0% RPM/s) let users balance speed (fast ramps for venting) and stability (slow ramps for UHV pull-down), adapting to diverse process needs.

Low Power & Global Compatibility: With ≤100 W power consumption, the LAM 810-031325-104 reduces annual electricity costs by ~$80 per unit (vs. 150 W dual-pump modules)—a significant saving for labs running 24/7. Its 100–240 VAC voltage range supports deployments in Asia, Europe, and the Americas without expensive converters ($50–$100 savings per unit). A Korean pilot fab using 20 units reported a 18% reduction in vacuum system energy costs after adopting the LAM 810-031325-104.

Typical application scenarios

Lab-Scale R&D for 45nm Processes: In university labs using LAM 500 Series tools, the LAM 810-031325-104 manages UHV pull-down and venting for small-batch wafer testing. It controls a Pfeiffer TPH 260 TMP to pull chambers from 760 Torr to 1×10⁻⁸ Torr, using LAM 716-028123-004 data to avoid overshoot. During venting, it integrates with LAM 716-021894-001 to monitor pressure rise, triggering a safety alert if rates exceed 10 Torr/min (preventing wafer damage from turbulent airflow). A leading U.S. university reported 28% better experiment repeatability and 11% fewer test retries after using the LAM 810-031325-104.

Legacy LAM 770 Series for 28nm Automotive Chips: In small European fabs operating LAM 770 Series etch systems, the LAM 810-031325-104 controls backing pumps to support existing TMPs. It uses LAM 716-021894-001 data to maintain 1×10⁻² Torr roughing pressure, reducing TMP load by 10% and extending TMP service life by 18 months. The unit’s built-in current monitoring alerts technicians to backing pump bearing wear 2 weeks early, avoiding 4-hour unplanned shutdowns ($22,000 in saved production per event). A fab with 12 units maintained a 97.5% wafer pass rate, meeting automotive quality standards for 28nm semiconductors.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing LAM 810-031325-104, confirm compatibility with your LAM system (500/770 Series) and pump model via LAM’s Part Cross-Reference Tool. For desktop use, place the unit on a flat, stable surface with ≥10cm clearance from heat sources (e.g., lab hot plates) and secure with included anti-slip pads. For rack-mount use, install the optional LAM 810-031325-BRK bracket and mount to a 19” rack with ≥5cm clearance from adjacent modules. Use shielded 0–10 VDC cables for pump speed control and twisted-pair RS-485 cables for sensor communication (max length 50m); avoid routing near RF cables to prevent EMI interference. Verify the 100–240 VAC power supply has a dedicated circuit with surge protection.

Maintenance suggestions: Perform monthly visual inspections of LAM 810-031325-104 to check for loose connections or dust buildup; clean vents with low-pressure (30 PSI) compressed air.
