WATLOW
ULTRAMIC™600
ADVANCED CERAMIC HEATER
ULTRA-FAST RAMP RATES
HIGH WATT DENSITIES
NON-CONTAMINATING
Watlow’s ULTRAMIC™ 600 heaters are
designed for thermal applications where
the high performance of an advanced
ceramic heater is required to ensure
optimal effectiveness of the equipment
and process.
ULTRAMIC 600 heaters are constructed
of aluminum nitride (AIN) and incorporate
athermally matched proprietary heating
element that provides maximum
performance in challenging applications.
AIN is especially suitable for applications
requiring a clean,
non-contaminating heat source.
Additionally, the excellent geometric
stability ensures consistent part-to-part
thermal contact during heating cycles.
Watlow AIN heaters can operate up to 600°C with an ultra-
fast ramp rate of up to 150°C per second depending on the
application, heater design and process parameters. In
addition to excellent thermal characteristics, the ULTRAMIC
600 has high electrical isolation and typically provides
superior chemical resistance as compared to traditional
metal heaters.
Robust AlN ceramic
•Creates a homogeneous assembly for atmospheric and
vacuum applications
•Provides durable heater construction and thermal transfer
necessary for high temperature and long heater life
•Permits the design of a high watt density, fast responding,
heater in a very small package
•Geometrically stable due to low coefficient of thermal
expansion (CTE)
•Process temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F) depending on
application parameters
Rapid prototyping
•Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides rapid ‘virtual’
prototyping of heater performance prior to the
manufacturing process
•Custom prototypes can be delivered in weeks rather than
months with innovative design and manufacturing practices
Superior electrical performance

Why ULTRAMIC 600?
Application Examples
Semiconductor Equipment
Eutectic die bonding equipment is used in the
attachment of lead wires to the die before packaging
of the IC. Optimum bonding is achieved by ramping
the solder and lead temperature through the eutectic
state. Watlow’s ULTRAMIC 600 heater is ideal for this
application because a temperature ramp of up to
150°C/second can be achieved while also achieving a
fast cool down in preparation for processing the next
device.
•Temperature ramp rate to 150°C(270°F)/sec
•Vacuum holes and grooves
•Surface flatness 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
•Surface finish <0.8 µm (32 µ-in.)
Analytical Instrumentation
Mass spectrometers are used to determine the
presence of trace chemicals in industrial,
environmental and clinical applications. With detection
capabilities into the part-per-trillion levels, cleanliness
is of paramount concern. For use with ion sources,
the chemical compatibility, low porosity and fine
surface finish make the ULTRAMIC 600 an excellent
choice where contamination of the sample is of
concern.
•Process temperatures to 600°C (1112˚F)
•Chemical compatibility
•High dielectric strength
•Small size and light weight

Sintered Ceramic Heater Construction
ULTRAMIC™ 600 heaters are
manufactured using a proprietary sintering
process. Sintering is a method where
aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic powder is
heated at a high temperature, which
allows contacting particles to diffuse
together. This process creates a
monolithic, geometrically stable structure
with very low porosity.
Custom designs can be rapidly accommodated
including those with complex topographies such as
holes, notches and vacuum grooves. Using a Finite
Element Analysis (FEA) technique, the heater circuit is
optimized and the thermal performance simulated
prior to manufacture.
The high thermal conductivity of AlN
and an optimized circuit layout
combine to produce superb
temperature uniformity across the
heater surface.
Non-contaminating
AlN composition
The AlN matrix is constructed of two parts. The
heating element is printed on one of the AlN
parts. Then, the parts are sintered together,
making them one homogeneous assembly.
