MoSi₂, U-shaped heating elements are mounted in a vertical, hanging position in the HTF. Heat is insulated with ceramic fibre plates which are constructed in layers with a suited thickness for improved temperature uniformity. The maximum temperature of the plates is selected depending on the maximum temperature of the furnace.

Water cooling is not required as the insulation material has low heat conductance. The system is externally cooled by convection of ambient air and encased by the metallic plates. The MoSi₂ heating elements are especially suited for high temperature processes. At high temperatures, the MoSi₂ naturally creates a protective oxide layer. Outstanding temperature uniformity and compact design are unique features of the HTF chamber furnace.

Please note
- Maximum continuous operating temperature is 100 °C below maximum temperature.
