Johnson Matthey Delivers Two Vpurge Systems To The
Institute Of Electronic Materials Technology (ITME) In Poland
WEST CHESTER, PA, January 19, 2007 - Johnson Matthey Gas Purification
Technology (GPT) group, a global leader in the design, manufacture
and distribution of highly reliable bulk and point-of-use purifiers,
announced today that they have supplied two HP-480 VPurge Systems
to ITME in Warsaw, Poland. The Johnson Matthey systems will
be used to purify hydrogen for epitaxial growth of n-type and
p-type Silicon Carbide layers for high-power and high-frequency
devices.
ITME (www.itme.edu.pl and www.epi-lab.com)
is a research, development and consultancy institution offering
a unique combination of scientific and technological capabilities.
The two principal activities of ITME are -- research, development
and production of electronic materials and research and development
of electronic components based on these materials. ITME was
founded in 1979 by merging the research laboratory of the Electronic
Materials Research and Production Centre as a separate organization
-- it is now the leading centre devoted to electronic materials
in Poland.
Dr. Wlodek Strupinski, Director of the Semiconductor Compounds
Epitaxy Laboratory at ITME said, “ Johnson Matthey’s
hydrogen purifiers are capable of providing 99.9999999 percent
pure hydrogen for Silicon Carbide Reactors. That coupled with
JM’s extensive knowledge and experience in palladium
membrane technology made them the purifier of choice for ITME*in
fact, we have been using JM purifiers since 1980, due to their
quality and reliability.”
Johnson Matthey’s VPurge system is an innovative product
for rapid and complete purging of hydrogen from palladium (Pd)
membrane purifiers. The patented VPurge design ensures total
hydrogen removal in the event of power outages and emergency
shutdowns. The system was designed specifically to meet the
needs of today's largest MOCVD production platforms. Palladium
purifiers provide the highest purity of hydrogen and the VPurge
ensures its' durability and performance in production environments.
