Poppet Valves
Our poppet valves are fully
opening for high conductance
a
nd to prevent bellows contami
nation while the valve is in the
open position, reducing particle
contamination when the valve
is cycled. Our bodies are dieformed from 304 stainless steel
to eliminate sharp inside corners
and improve conductance.
The valves are electropolished
f
or lower outgassing and better
corrosion resistance. The welded
bellows are made from AM-350
stainless steel to provide excellent
corrosion resistance and flex
ibility. They are designed with
additional segments to provide
extended life.

acuum pump to isolate traps
or abatement tools. A stainless
steel body and Teflon seat make
these valves ideal for corrosive
environments. Other applica
tions include vacuum and other

Genesis Valves
The Genesis modular vacuum
valve system provides semicon
ductor equipment designers with
unlimited possibilities for down
stream vacuum subassemblies.
Nippleless valve bodies and
block fittings can be assembled
by two attachment methods
using universal ISO-KF centering
ring/ O-ring hardware, provid
ing maximum flexibility and
the smallest footprint possible.
Additionally these valves feature
million cycle reliability, integrated
low-cost soft start circuit and
modular heaters.
Linear Gate Valves
Our linear gate valves have
an ultra-slim profile, which makes
t
hem perfect for applications
where space is limited, and their
smaller volume results in lower
outgassing and faster pump
down. Larger sizes have a
unique feature in the actuator,
w
hich dampens the vibration,
which can arise when the
gate is opened. This makes
these valves ideal for semiconductor and other vibration
s
ensitive processes.

New Products
N-Series Poppet Valves
The new N-Series poppet valves are an
innovative, compact design with an MTBF of
3
million cycles. A bellows-sealed stem and
electropolished stainless steel body provides
long life even in the most demanding applica
tions. Standard pneumatic actuation is normally
closed. N-series valves are available in right angle
or angle-in-line body styles with tube ends, NW

Poppet Valve General Information
Construction
Bodies are die-formed from 304 stainless steel to eliminate
sharp inside corners and improve conductance. The valves
are electropolished for faster pumpdown, lower outgassing
and better corrosion resistance. The welded bellows
are made from AM-350 stainless steel to provide corrosion
resistance and excellent flexibility. The bellows fully retract
from the side port when the valve is open, eliminating
buildup of by-products on the bellows and subsequent
particle generation during operation. They are designed
with additional segments to provide extended life.
Nor-Cal valves can be operated in any position and
actuators can be removed quickly for routine inspection
without disassembling the system.
Models
Our poppet valves are available in most port configurations with CF, NW, ISO or ASA flanges. Valves through 3 inch (76mm) OD’s
are available with manual or pneumatic actuators and Viton or copper bonnet seals. Valves over 3 inches (76mm) are available
with pneumatic actuators only. Custom port lengths, flange configurations and bellowless valves are also available.
Vacuum Range
Poppet seals have helium leak rates of

range.
Copper Bonnet Seal
Copper bonnet seal poppet valves with
CF flanges provide metal seals between
t
he inside of the valve and the atmo
sphere. They are available in all standard
sizes and port configurations.
Valve Actuation
Manually operated valves utilize Acme
threads and a self-lubricating bronze nut
for fewer turns and smooth, trouble-free
operation. Pneumatic valves are normally
air-to-open, spring-to-close in port ODs
through 2 inches (50mm) for immediate
closure in case of electrical or air failure.
Larger valves are normally air-to-open,
air-to-close. This actuation option is avail
able on all valves. Most sizes are available
w
ith air-to open, air-to-close with spring
assist as an option. Operating air pressure
for all pneumatic valves is 60 to 80 psig
(4-5.5 bar).
Thermal Products
All Nor-Cal poppet valves and gate
valves can be provided with silicone
foam or fiberglass insulated heater
jackets to reduce resident time of
corrosives or par ticle buildup in semiconductor applications. These jackets are
av
ailable with PID controllers or thermo
stats with high temperature shutoffs.
-
Jacket and control specifications can be
tailored to meet your specific needs.

Bakeability
The valve’s bakeout temperature should not exceed that of the elastomer that is used in it. See chart below. Standard Viton sealed
valves are bakeable to 150ºC sustained and 204°C for intermittent periods. However, the Viton O-rings begin to take a set at 150°C.

Note:
Use 4-way solenoid option for 1.12 and 1.5 (28-38) OD STVP and CSTVP models.
All pneumatic poppet valves can be provided with air solenoids with several current
ratings for electropneumatic actuation. Valves with air-to-open, spring-to-close actuation
r
equire three-way air solenoids, while air-to-open, air-to-close actuators require four-way
solenoids. Both three and four-way air solenoids are available in four current
ratings. A pneumatic valve ordered with this option will arrive with an air solenoid
i
nstalled. 18 inch (450) long electrical leads are pro
vided for connection to the power supply.
Air solenoids can be purchased separately in
a kit complete with instructions for
i
nstallation by the customer.
When placing your order please
specify the model number of the
valve that the air solenoid will be
installed on, so that our sales staff
can confirm whether a three-way
or four-way solenoid is required.

Genesis Modular Valves
The Genesis modular vacuum valve
system provides equipment designers with unlimited possibilities for
d
ownstream vacuum subassemblies.
Nippleless valve bodies and block
fittings can be assembled by two
attachment methods using universal
I
SO-KF centering ring/O -ring hardware,
providing maximum flexibility and the
smallest footprint possible.
Simple and robust, Genesis valves are
rated at one million cycles before service.
During testing, these valves were cycled
millions of times while maintaining
vacuum integrity. The welded bellows
is AM-350 stainless steel for corrosion
r
esistance, longevity and flexibility.
The bellows fully retract from the side
port when the valve is open, eliminating
buildup of process by-products on the
bellows and subsequent particle genera
tion during operation. Valve center plates
have been eliminated in order to provide
precise alignment between the poppet
and valve seat. A composite stem bush
ing resists wear even at high temperatures.
Valve return springs are shot peened in
order to provide millions of cycles without
loss of force. Teflon coated air cylinders
feature a 15 micron air filter to prevent
particle migration either into or out
of the air cylinder.
For option descriptions and how to add options, see next page.

Soft Start Valve Actuator Option
For reduced particle contamination in load locks and process chambers, Genesis
valves can be provided with a patented low cost soft start actuator with no increase
in valve size. A double-acting air piston, opens a soft start circuit inside the valve
when air is supplied to the top of the air cylinder. The soft start by-pass opening
can be provided fully open or with a specified orifice, depending on the desired
pumpdown. (See diagram.) After the chamber has been pumped from atmosphere
to the desired cross over pressure, the main valve circuit is opened by supplying air to
t
he bottom of the air c ylinder. Each circuit can be operated independently and is

Finger Clamp Component Assembly
Stainless steel finger clamps allow a standard ISO-KF flange to be attached directly to a Genesis valve or
fitting using a standard ISO-KF centering ring and O -ring. Elbows, reducers, chamber ports, roughing
l
ines, or other vacuum components can be attached directly to valve bodies or fittings with finger clamps.
Unnecessary valve ports have been eliminated, shortening the gas path and increasing system
conductance. For ultimate versatility standard nipples and elbows can be attached with finger
clamps in order to make a drop-in replacement valve, such as an angle-in-line or tee valve.
Once the finger clamp bolt is loosened it can be pivoted out of the way in order to
r
emove or install the flange and centering ring. The finger clamp does not need
to be removed from the valve or fitting. The clamp is self-aligning when tight
ened, for ease of flange installation. Each kit contains four finger clamps, hex
h
ead bolts and washers for one connection.

Block Subassemblies with
Double Stud Fasteners
Stainless steel double stud fasteners allow two Genesis components to be connected
using a standard ISO-KF centering ring and O-ring. Special subassemblies, such as
diverter valves or roughing/high vacuum circuits can be assembled quickly using
double stud fasteners with valves and block fittings. These subassemblies can be
provided as a unit from Nor-Cal or you may choose to assemble them from
individual components. They are ideal for limited space
i
nstallations, such as on cluster tool frames, and provide
highest conductance, while eliminating unnecessary
hardware. Double stud fasteners can be used to make a
bulkhead attachment from a valve directly to a chamber.
Stud fasteners can be installed using a jeweler’s screw
driver and a 3/8 inch (9.53) ignition wrench. An installation
tool for stud fasteners is provided with each stud fastener
kit or assembly, or one can be purchased separately. Each
kit contains four double stud fasteners for one connection
and an installation tool.

Leak Valves
Leak valves are used for controlling gas introduction into high- and ultra-high vacuum systems. They utilize an optically flat sapphire
poppet and a metal seal seat, allowing bakeout temperatures to 450ºC. These valves are manually actuated by a cantilever arm with
precision adjustment threads. The adjustment knobs can be set to allow controlled leak rates as small as 1x10
Replacement sapphire and gasket assemblies are available. Call for pricing.

SECTION 3.10
Isolation Valve Heaters
Poppet Valve, Ball Valve and Gate Valve Heaters
Many semiconductor processes are
carried out in vacuum chambers with
internal temperatures of several hundred
degrees Celsius. Process by-products exit
the chamber in vapor phase, but subli
mate in the foreline and vacuum pump
e
xhaust when gas temperatures drop
sufficiently for them to form solids. The
resultant buildup can increase wafer
defects from particle backstreaming,
reduce throughput of vacuum lines,
impede the function of throttle valves
and isolation valves, damage some dr y
-
pumps and reduce the ef ficiency of the
scrubber. This buildup can be reduced
or eliminated by heating vacuum lines
and associated components from the
chamber to the scrubber, or by using a
combination of heaters and foreline traps,
which collect the by-products preventing
them from continuing downstream.
Heater jackets with a UL recognized
electronic thermostat for fixed set-point
applications is available for temperatures
up to 150ºC. For fully adjustable
temperature set-points up to 200 ºC,
a UR/CE certified heater with a Type K
thermocouple and PID controller can provide precise temperature control.
S
tandard ½” insulation add-on heaters
are available for all poppet valves and gate
valves. (Aluminum Genesis valves have
their own integrated heater.) These can
be purchased and installed separately
provided that the valve is fitted with the
proper high temperature seals and other
thermally compatible components.
