Designed for semiconductor, MOCVD, and other gas ow control applications that require
a high purity all-metal ow path, the Brooks® GF100 Series mass ow controllers and
meters deliver outstanding performance, reliability, and exibility. Highlights of the GF
Series industry-leading features include: ultra fast 300 millisecond settling time, MultiFlo™ gas and range programmability, optional pressure transient insensitivity (PTI), local
display, extremely low wetted surface area, and corrosion resistant Hastelloy® sensor tube
and valve seat. The GF100 Series has been marathon tested to over three times the semiconductor industry standard for reliability, ensuring repeatable low-drift performance over
time. An independent diagnostic/service port permits users to troubleshoot or change ow
conditions without removing the mass ow controller from service.
The agship GF125 is a second generation multi-variable, pressure transient insensitive
mass ow controller. This product builds upon Brooks’ leadership position in pressure
transient insensitive (PTI) mass ow controller technology, minimizing process gas ow
variation due to pressure and temperature uctuations. The GF125 enables customers to
simplify and reduce the size and cost of gas panels by eliminating the need for point of
use pressure regulators, pressure transducers, and associated hardware.
MultiFlo™ gas and range programmability, a patented technology developed and rened
by Brooks over the last 10 years, has changed the mass ow controller industry by oering customers the ability to select new gas calibrations and full scale ranges without the
trouble and cost of removing the mass ow controller from the gas line. The GF Series
fourth generation MultiFlo technology continues to lead the market with the most accurate and broadest range performance through extensive renement and physical validation on critical process gases.
Product Description
The GF100 Series is a highly congurable platform based on a novel modular
architecture. Already widely adopted by semiconductor, vacuum thin lm, solar, and
related customers, the GF100 Series feature set was carefully selected to enable drop-in
replacement and upgrade of most brands of metal-seal mass ow controllers, including
the former Celerity, UNIT, Tylan, and Mykrolis brands. With the wide range of options
and features available, the GF100 Series provides users with a path to simplication and
standardization, greatly reducing spares inventory and support costs.

By combining Brooks’ patented ow sensor technology with
a high speed ARM processor and fast acting diaphragm free
valve assembly, the GF100 Series delivers up to 3 times faster
response and settling time compared to other mass ow
controllers, enabling:
• Improved wafer throughput by reducing nonproductive ow
settling steps
• Critical Etch processes requiring ultrafast 1-2 second etch
steps
• Reduced diverted gas consumption and associated
abatement costs
• Time-sensitive gas delivery steps in Atomic Layer Deposition
• For processes requiring a slow ramped gas turn-on or time
critical transitions between ow rates. A user programmable
ramp function is provided
MultiFlo™ Gas and Range Congurability
A major advancement over traditional single point gas
conversion factors, Brooks MultiFlo technology delivers up to
a three-times improvement in process gas accuracy. This is
achieved through advanced gas modeling optimized through
actual gas testing providing compensation for non-linear
gases. MultiFlo also allows the device to be quickly and easily
congured for another gas and/or ow range without sacricing
accuracy or rangability. Selecting a new gas automatically
creates a new calibration curve, establishes optimized PID
settings for dynamic control, automatically compensates for gas
density eects, and ensures smooth, overshoot-free transitions
between ow rates with excellent steady-state stability.
Comparison of GF vs Competitors response time
to ascending & decending setpoints
Brooks MultiFlo technology oers unparalleled exibility; a
single device can be programmed for thousands of dierent gas
and ow range congurations.
Re-programming is simple and fast; a new gas and range can
be programmed in under 30 seconds. Brooks provides a full gas
database to ensure the true value of MultiFlo is realized:
• Dramatically reduces inventory costs
• Mass ow controller full scale ow range can re-scaled down
typically by a factor of 3:1 with no impact on accuracy,
turndown or leak by specications, for optimum process and
inventory exibility
• Up to 40% fewer congurations required to support typical
etch and CVD processes verses our closest competitor
• Widest process gas coverage through extensive gas library
• Mass ow controllers can be replaced in only a few minutes
• O-the shelf spares programmability enables rapid process
recovery
• Maximum exibility for research applications

Pressure Transient Insensitivity (PTI) (GF125 only)
Cost and space constraints are driving gas panel designers
to remove point of use pressure regulators and pressure
monitoring components, placing more burden on the mass
ow controller to control accurately under dynamic pressure
conditions. Conventional mass ow controllers react strongly
to small inlet pressure uctuations resulting in unstable
performance and unpredictable accuracy (see Non-Pressure
Insensitive MFC). This drove Brooks to develop Pressure
Transient Insensitive mass ow controller technology (PTI-MFC).
The GF125 PTI-MFC is a second generation PTI-MFC utilizing
a patented control algorithm that inverts the pressure signal,
compares it to the pre-uctuation signal and drives real-time
valve position compensation to maintain stable ow. Enhanced
pressure transient insensitivity is achieved through faster
sensing, faster processing, and a reduction in internal deadvolume between the sensors and valve orice.
• Optimized temperature prole for gases prone to thermal
decomposition
• Unique orthogonal sensor mounting orientation
-Eliminates sensor drift caused by valve heating eects
-Eliminates thermal siphoning eects for the most common
mounting orientations

1.5” bodies
• Downport 80mm CS seal on 1.5” body
• 124 mm 1/4” VCR Male on 1.5” body
Enhanced Diagnostics
The mass ow controller remains the most complex and critical
component in gas delivery systems. When dealing with UHP gas
distribution or highly toxic or corrosive gases, removing the mass
ow controller to determine if it is faulty should be the last resort.
In response to this, Brooks pioneered smarter mass ow
controllers with embedded self test routines and introduced an
independent diagnostic/service port to provide the user with a
simple interface, for troubleshooting without disturbing ow
controller operation.
High Purity Flow Path
User Interface
The user interface has a high visibility LCD display that provides
a local indication of Flow (%), Temperature (°C), Pressure (PSIA/
KPa) and Network Address, selectable through the Display button.
A Zero button provides a simple means to re-zero the mass ow
controller as part of scheduled maintenance.
Communication Interface
The GF100 Series supports analog 0-5 Vdc, RS485, and
DeviceNet™ communication protocols. A range of low prole
adapter cables facilitate replacing older mass ow controllers
with the GF100 Series eliminating the need to carry mass ow
controllers of same gas/range but dierent electrical connectors.

Product Description GF120 Safe Delivery System (SDS
The GF120 Safe Delivery System (SDS®) is Brooks’ state-of-the-art low
pressure drop mass ow controller for the delivery of sub atmospheric
safe delivery system (SDS) gases used in Implant and Etch processes. The
Brooks GF120 (SDS) models are available in full scale ow ranges 4-25
sccm (option GF120XSL) or >25 sccm to 1 slpm (option GF120XSD).
These expensive, hazardous gases are adsorbed onto a solid medium
within the gas cylinder, remaining below atmospheric pressure despite
containing up to 15 times more dopant than conventional pressurized
sources.
The amount of gas that can be extracted from the SDS controlled
cylinder is highly dependent upon the nal cylinder pressure. This is
illustrated in SDS desorption species information in the SDS Gas Use Rate
Eciency Curve. Most of the gas is released at pressures below 100 Torr.
The minimum cylinder pressure that can be reached is limited by the
conductance of the mass ow controller regulating the ow. Most mass
ow controllers require a 50 Torr dierential pressure at ow rates of 5
sccm. At this 50 Torr limit, only ~65% of the dopant can be extracted
from the adsorbent medium at normal operating temperatures. The
GF120 (SDS) low pressure operation enables a further 30% of the
dopant to be extracted, driving signicant cost savings in SDS gases
and equipment OEE.
