One single lamp fails, a quartz tube bursts, and suddenly you&rsquo;ve got shards and chemical gunk everywhere. Just like that, an entire batch of wafers is scrap. It&rsquo;s a nightmare. We build our infrared heaters to make sure that doesn&rsquo;t happen. It comes down to two things: better wiring and smart containment.</p> <h2 id="why-were-obsessed-with-teflon-ptfe">Why we&rsquo;re obsessed with Teflon (PTFE)</h2> <p>Most standard insulation just can&rsquo;t handle the constant heating and cooling of a semiconductor environment. It gets brittle. It cracks. That&rsquo;s why we use high-grade Teflon (PTFE) for the electrical leads. It stays flexible and doesn&rsquo;t off-gas when things get hot. Here&rsquo;s the real danger: if your wiring burns out, you get an electrical arc. And an arc is basically a detonator for a quartz envelope. Using PTFE keeps that from happening.</p>
