Tempress develops and manufactures equipment to produce solar cells and semiconductors. The company’s diffusion furnaces generally consist of three large modules: the load station, where the loading of the wafers occurs; the furnace section, which is comprised of one to five thermal reactor chambers; and the gas distribution cabinet, where the flow of gases into the reactor chambers is controlled; and is often customized to meet the requirements of the customers’ particular processes. Tempress’ main customers are solar panel manufacturers.
