DPS JMF ESC for 150mm (6-inch) Wafer Processing
The DPS JMF ESC in its 150mm configuration is a direct equivalent for the Applied Materials DPS JMF chamber, engineered by ESC Technology to clamp and temperature-control 6-inch wafers during conductor etch. It mounts on the same cathode, power supply and gas connections as the original — a true drop-in with no chamber modification — and, unlike the OEM part, it is fully repairable.
Why a 150mm DPS JMF?
Built specifically for the DPS JMF conductor-etch platform in 150mm, this equivalent delivers consistent electrostatic clamping and helium-cooled temperature control so 6-inch conductor etches stay uniform run to run. Because it is a maintainable part rather than a consumable replacement, it simplifies spares planning for fabs still running 6-inch DPS lines.
Design & Compatibility
The ESC clamps the wafer electrostatically via DC bias and cools the backside with helium across a mesa field and seal band sized for the 6-inch wafer, holding tight temperature uniformity through the process. It is offered in coated-ceramic (alumina) and CP (Ceramic Plate) constructions — the denser CP giving higher breakdown voltage and improved thermal control. Mechanically and electrically it matches the Applied Materials original, so it installs on the existing cathode with no requalification of the wider tool.
Repair & Reconditioning
Coated-ceramic ESCs support Level 1 surface reconditioning and Level 2 strip-and-rebuild, and can typically be returned to original specification up to three times. CP variants are Level 2 only. Compare L1 and L2 repair in detail.
Lower Cost of Ownership
Because the same ESC can be reconditioned repeatedly rather than scrapped, the 150mm DPS JMF equivalent materially lowers lifetime cost versus buying new OEM parts each cycle. ESC Technology supplies and services these ESCs across North America, Europe, South-East Asia and Japan.
OEM Cross-Reference (150mm)
This 150mm DPS JMF is a direct equivalent to Applied Materials part number(s) 0041-88046. All known revised numbers are listed so both legacy and current part searches resolve here. It is a direct equivalent, not an OEM part, and is not affiliated with Applied Materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 150mm DPS JMF ESC an original Applied Materials part?
No. It is a direct equivalent manufactured independently by ESC Technology to fit and function identically to the Applied Materials DPS JMF ESC. It is not an OEM part and is not affiliated with Applied Materials.
Will it fit my DPS JMF chamber without modification?
Yes. The 150mm ESC mounts on the same cathode, power supply and helium/gas connections as the original, so it is a drop-in replacement with no chamber modification or requalification of the surrounding hardware.
Can the ESC be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. Coated-ceramic ESCs support a Level 1 surface recondition (indicatively ~25% of a new ESC) and a Level 2 full strip-and-rebuild to frame (~70%), and can typically be returned to original specification up to three times. CP (Ceramic Plate) variants are Level 2 only.
Which OEM part number does the 150mm DPS JMF replace?
It is a direct equivalent to Applied Materials part number(s) 0041-88046. Where the OEM has revised the number over time, all known equivalents are listed so legacy and current part searches both resolve here.
What wafer size and applications does it suit?
It is built for 6-inch (150mm) wafers, used on power devices (MOSFET, IGBT), analog and mixed-signal, MEMS, sensors, automotive and RF silicon.
