A boat carrier for accommodating multiple width integrated circuit (IC) boats is provided. The boat carrier comprises a base member and opposed guide faces which abut side surfaces of IC boats of multiple widths. In a first embodiment, the boat carrier includes a first guide having a first guide face affixed to the base member, and a movable guide having a movable guide face releasably affixed to the base member. The movable guide face has a first position and a second position, whereby a narrower IC boat is receivable in the first position and a wider IC boat is receivable in the second position. In a further embodiment, the boat carrier comprises a base member, a fixed guide assembly having a fixed guide face, and an opposed guide assembly having an inner and outer guide face, whereby a boat having a first or second width is receivable. In yet another embodiment, the boat carrier comprises a further fixed guide assembly and a further opposed guide assembly, thereby forming dual sets of guides, wherein each set of guides is capable of receiving a boat having a first or second width.

Multiple width boat carrier for vertical ovens

A vapor processing system which has a vessel for containing a processing vapor generated by heating electronic fluid contained within the vessel. A selected saturated vapor zone level is devined for work product delivered to the vapor zone by generating a signal representative of the actual temperature at one of a plurality of spaced locations within the vessel, generating a signal representative of the desired temperature at the selected location for a saturated vapor zone having a level selected for the work product being conveyed to the saturated vapor zone, and comparing the signals representative of the actual and desired temperatures at the selected location and for varying the output of the heater to change the actual sensed temperature to the desired temperature so that the actual saturated vapor zone level will conform to the desired saturated vapor zone level.

Vapor level control for vapor processing system

A vapor processing system which has a vessel for containing a processing vapor generated by heating an electronic fluid contained within the vessel. A selected saturated vapor zone level is defined for work product delivered to the vapor zone by generating a signal representative of the actual temperature at one of a plurality of spaced locations, generating a signal representative of the desired temperature at the selected vertical location for a saturated vapor zone having a level selected for the work product being conveyed to the saturated vapor zone, generating data concerning product to be processed, and operating on the data for setting the means for generating a signal representative of the actual temperature and for setting the means for generating a signal representative of the desired temperature at the selected location, and comparing the generated signals representative of the actual and desired temperatures at the selected location and varying the output of the heater to change the actual sensed temperature to the desired temperature so that the actual saturated vapor zone level will conform to the desired saturated vapor zone level.
