Syft Technologies
Enabling Detection of Virtually all Airborne Molecular Contaminants in Semiconductor Fabs
Alexander Fala, CEOEnter Syft Technologies. The company is driving a change in the semiconductor industry—from labor and resource-intensive offline monitoring tools to online SIFTMS instruments requiring minimal handson time. SIFT-MS, a form of direct mass spectrometry to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic gases in the air with typical detection limits at parts-per-trillion levels, provides realtime trace gas analysis with the broadest range of compound detection available in semiconductor applications.
SIFT-MS utilizes the Syft compound library, which boasts over 1500 compounds and methods, to analyze each analyte’s absolute concentration. Contrast this with cheaper sensors that can only detect a single compound and require integration with other sensors to form a full test array.
SIFT-MS also provides real-time data output. Meaning, contamination events are seen as they happen. In contrast, legacy technologies like GC-MS are slow and require analysis time post-data collection. Syft instrumentation is also user-friendly, does not require prior expertise, and needs very little hands-on time.
“Our customers love being able to measure both volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic airborne molecular contaminants (AMCs) with one real-time system. The capability to consolidate contamination monitoring to a single instrument ultimately reduces customers’ cost of ownership and operating expenses,” says Alexander Fala, the CEO of Syft Technologies.
Syft is proud to have a vibrant team with a diversity of backgrounds and over 20 years of expertise in real-time mass spectrometry. This translates to being able to respond to customer challenges with innovative solutions. Syft’s team is encouraged to think holistically in order to understand the root cause of customers’ pain points. As a result, the company’s service and support teams can provide customers with indepth consultation and troubleshooting when it is required. Syft has support offices across the world, including New Zealand, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Germany, and the U.S.
Syft always puts customers’ needs first. The company has worked alongside leaders in the semiconductor industry to develop contamination monitoring systems that meet their specific workflow requirements. The company has been able to leverage the flexibility of the deep compound library to easily construct methods that target their most problematic contaminants. Its customers are now able to see contamination events as they occur instead of retrospectively as they did with legacy technology. Syft has also innovated a mobile solution that enables contamination control teams to pinpoint significant and hazardous gas leaks before they become widespread. Its key customer accounts include Samsung and Micron.

Syft Technologies Announces Commercial Release of Next Generation SIFT-MS, Syft Tracer™
Monday, March 27, 2023
Syft Tracer™ is the latest advancement in real-time, direct injection mass spectrometry (MS) built to solve the most difficult analytical challenges faced within a variety of industries and applications.
PHILADELPHIA: Syft Technologies announced the release of its next generation Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) technology, Syft Tracer™, at Pittcon 2023. This innovation of real-time, direct injection mass spectrometry (MS) offers platform advancements such as greater sensitivity, unparalleled performance stability, and high reproducibility and repeatability that make the system an industry-scalable solution. Analytical workflows that require fast time to data, high throughput, and continuous operation will benefit significantly from Syft Tracer capabilities.
Syft Technologies Announces Commercial Release of Next Generation SIFT-MS, Syft Tracer TM
SIFT-MS is a form of direct mass spectrometry. It applies precisely controlled chemical ionization reactions to detect and quantify trace amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic gases. SIFT-MS delivers real-time, chromatography-free direct analysis of compounds that traditionally require intensive sample preparation. No sample preparation is required for even complex matrices and high-humidity samples. It analyzes compounds that cannot be easily targeted by traditional chromatographic methods such as formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, ethylene oxide, and nitrosamines. SIFT-MS is designed to be accessible to non-technical users and generates data that is easy to interpret.
"Syft Tracer is the culmination of the past few years of product development intended to address specific industry needs," commented Alex Fala, Chief Executive Officer of Syft Technologies. "We are excited to witness the breakthroughs that our customers experience in their workflows that allow them to make critical decisions sooner."
Traditional chromatography-based methods require extensive sample preparation, long run-times, and expertise to interpret the data. In addition, sample preparation leaves the potential for some volatile product contaminants to escape detection. SIFT-MS systems eliminate the need for sample preparation, thereby enabling quantitative analysis of volatile compounds in real-world settings. Syft's technology also provides instant results to non-technical users in a user-friendly format.
"We have already seen the impact that SIFT-MS has had to making consumer and pharmaceutical products safer," stated Alex Fala, "I expect Syft Tracer to revolutionize how products and environments are tested beyond those markets. The speed, simplicity, and robust performance of this system make it an obvious choice for a wide range of industries."
