0010-39883 Assy, throttle valve for Applied Materials systems

Precision throttle valve assembly for chamber pressure control, flow regulation, and process stability

The 0010-39883 ASSY, THROTTLE VALVE is a precision-engineered vacuum and flow control component used in Applied Materials semiconductor equipment to regulate chamber pressure, control exhaust flow, and maintain stable process conditions during wafer processing.

Installed within the vacuum and exhaust subsystem, the throttle valve assembly modulates gas flow between the process chamber and vacuum pumping system, enabling precise pressure control critical to plasma stability, process repeatability, and uniform wafer treatment. In semiconductor environments where tight pressure control directly impacts etch rates, deposition uniformity, and defectivity, so throttle valve performance has to be reliable.

Because throttle valves operate under continuous mechanical actuation, vacuum cycling, reactive gas exposure, and particle-sensitive conditions, wear, seal degradation, actuator drift, contamination buildup, or control instability can lead to pressure fluctuations, process instability, increased maintenance, or unplanned downtime. The 0010-39883 is engineered to support stable, repeatable pressure regulation under demanding fab conditions.

Functional role within Applied Materials systems

The 0010-39883 functions as a critical pressure control and flow regulation assembly.

Core functions include:

  • Regulating chamber pressure during process operation
  • Controlling exhaust flow to the vacuum system
  • Supporting stable plasma and process conditions
  • Enabling repeatable pressure setpoint control
  • Contributing to uniform process performance
  • Supporting uptime through reliable vacuum subsystem operation
