LAUDA-Noah

What LAUDA-Noah does

LAUDA-Noah, headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, designs and manufactures thermoelectric chillers, heat exchangers, and temperature control systems for semiconductor wafer-processing applications. Originally founded in 1985 as Noah Precision and later joining Germany's LAUDA Dr. R. Wobser GmbH & Co. KG, the company pioneered the integration of solid-state Peltier devices into fab-level temperature control and has grown into the largest installed base of thermoelectric temperature control systems in the semiconductor industry, with more than 10,000 units fielded globally.

The company's core technology platform is the Point-of-Use (POU) thermoelectric architecture, which uses solid-state Peltier devices with no compressor or refrigerant, only one moving part (a magnetically-coupled pump), and achieves dynamic temperature control at the chamber level. The product portfolio spans the Semistat series of solid-state recirculating chillers (S1200, S2400, S4400) operating from -20 to 90 °C, the PSC series of power supply controllers (1200, 2400, 4400), the POU 3300 and 3500 thermoelectric temperature control systems, and accessories including the Remote Communication Module and PSC2-POU controller. The platform is qualified under ISO 9001 and REACH/RoHS, and is purpose-built for etch and other advanced wafer-processing steps where temperature stability directly drives critical-dimension control and yield.

LAUDA-Noah generates revenue through direct enterprise sales of capital equipment to semiconductor device manufacturers and equipment OEMs, supplemented by a Time & Materials service, repair, and support business with an RMA evaluation fee of $750 minimum. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with factory startup and turn-key installation services bundled into each shipment, and a global service network delivered through authorized partners in the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan, China, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, France, and Italy. Pricing is quote-based on specialized industrial equipment with a 1-year standard warranty against an MTBF of approximately 4 years for POU units.

Core offering

LAUDA-Noah manufactures and services thermoelectric (Peltier-based) chillers, heat exchangers, and point-of-use temperature control systems used by semiconductor wafer processing fabs and equipment makers. Its product portfolio spans the Semistat solid-state recirculating chiller line (S1200, S2400, S4400), PSC power supply and controller units, and POU 3300/3500 thermoelectric temperature control systems, supported by accessories such as the Remote Communication Module and the PSC2-POU controller, plus a Legacy Products line for installed-base support.

Product overview

LAUDA-Noah offers a unified portfolio of thermoelectric temperature control products for semiconductor wafer processing. The core offerings include three product lines: the Semistat series (S1200, S2400, S4400) are energy-efficient solid state recirculating chillers operating from -20 to 90 °C; the PSC series (1200, 2400, 4400) are power supply controllers that support the systems; and the POU series (3300, 3500) are point-of-use thermoelectric temperature control systems that provide dynamic cooling at the chamber level. Supporting accessories include the Remote Communication Module (RCM) for remote system monitoring and the PSC2-POU Power Supply and Controller for integrated power management. The company also maintains a Legacy Products line for ongoing support.
