HERAEUS 101888-01/C 36607 3870-04597 0020-76852 Quartz Boat – High-Purity Fused Silica Diffusion Furnace Component
When a quartz boat fails mid-process in a semiconductor diffusion furnace, the consequences extend far beyond a single wafer batch. Contamination events, thermal shock fractures, or dimensional inconsistencies can halt an entire production line, triggering costly downtime, yield loss, and re-qualification cycles that can take days to resolve. In high-temperature processes where purity is measured in parts per billion, there is no acceptable substitute for a precision-engineered quartz boat that meets exact OEM specifications.
The HERAEUS 101888-01/C 36607 3870-04597 0020-76852 Quartz Boat is a high-purity fused silica carrier component manufactured by Heraeus Quarzglas, the world’s leading producer of synthetic and natural quartz glass for semiconductor and industrial applications. This specific part number is engineered for use in horizontal diffusion and oxidation furnace tubes, where it serves as the primary wafer carrier during high-temperature thermal processing steps including oxidation, annealing, and dopant diffusion. Heraeus quartz components are trusted by leading semiconductor fabs, research institutions, and equipment OEMs across Asia, Europe, and North America for their unmatched purity, dimensional stability, and thermal performance.
