Overview
Quartz fabrication / welding is a highly specialized skill and that is why IMTEC maintains it’s own fabrication facility with the specialized tools and training required to meet the demanding quartz needs of our customers.
Our fused quartz fabrication facility provides the experienced welders necessary to create custom quartz tanks and other components at reasonable prices. Anyone who has ever worked with fused quartz knows that it can be finicky and dangerous, and incorrect welding can cause the entire piece to crack or shatter during manufacturing. IMTEC is able to produce exceptionally large fused quartz tanks with intricate features to specification, thanks to our team of highly experienced fused quartz welders.

Quartz Tanks
Our core expertise is with quartz tanks. We’ve built thousands of quartz tanks to meet our customer needs and requirements. We work with you to better understand your needs and help design custom tanks.
Quartz Drains
Drains are typically placed on the side or bottom of quartz tanks. They can be used to simply evacuate the tank or to recirculate chemistry. The drain pictured demonstrates our quartz machining capabilities.
Quartz Boats
A quartz boat can come in many shapes and sizes. These quartz boat are typically designed to accommodate wafers or substrates of 4”, 6”, 8” and 12” diameters. IMTEC can suggest a design or we can build to your specifications.
Quartz Boat Adapters
This adapter was used to place 6” wafer quartz boats into a quartz bath designed for 8” wafers. Having this adapter can lead to cost reduction and increased production throughput by allowing multiple quartz boat sizes to fit in one tank.
Quartz Aspirators
An aspirator, also called a filter pump, is a device that produces a vacuum by means of the Venturi effect. In an aspirator, fluid flows through a tube which then narrows. These quartz aspirators can be used in high temperature applications along with a high purity process requirement.
Quartz Chambers
Chambers and plasma tubes are used for containing plasmas that can reach extremely high temperatures but require high purity and visual verification. The quartz used to manufacture these tubes is ideal, due to its high resistance to heat and its unique purity that can reach 99.9995%. IMTEC can work with you to manufacture these complex parts to specifications.
