Case Study: Rapid Thermal Processing Furnace for a University of Engineering & Technology in Asia

Table of Contents

Customer Background

A University of Engineering & Technology in Asia required a Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) Furnace for rapid thermal annealing research. The equipment would support laboratory studies investigating the effects of rapid heating and controlled thermal treatment on material properties.

Customer Requirements

The university needed an RTP furnace capable of rapid heating, precise temperature control, and uniform temperature distribution to meet the demands of its annealing experiments. The system also needed to accommodate different gas inputs or vacuum monitoring requirements.

ZYLAB Solution

ZYLAB provided a Rapid Thermal Processing Furnace designed for laboratory-scale rapid thermal annealing and advanced materials research.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Maximum Temperature: 1100°C

  • Working Temperature: Up to 1000°C

  • Temperature Accuracy: ±1°C

  • Temperature Uniformity: ±2°C across the temperature field

  • Heating/Cooling Rate: Up to 100°C/sec

  • Gas and Vacuum Configuration: Expansion ports available for vacuum gauges or additional gas inputs

The furnace’s rapid heating and cooling capabilities, combined with precise temperature control and uniformity, make it suitable for research requiring controlled thermal cycles and short-duration annealing.

To meet the system’s cooling requirements, ZYLAB also offered 5L and 10L water chiller options, with the customer ultimately selecting the 10L chiller.

Supporting Advanced Materials Research

Through this project, ZYLAB provided the university with a rapid thermal processing solution tailored to its laboratory research needs. The combination of rapid thermal performance, temperature control, flexible gas and vacuum connections, and a compatible cooling system supports the university’s ongoing annealing research.

ZYLAB supplies laboratory thermal processing equipment for universities, research institutes, and industrial R&D laboratories working in materials science and advanced materials development.
