Malema LFC-7650 Series Ultrasonic Flow Controller Wins 2025 Best of West Award

SEMICON West – PHOENIX – October 9, 2025 – SEMI and Semiconductor Digest today announced that the LFC-7650 Series Ultrasonic Flow Controller from Malema, Part of PSG, a Dover Company (Booth 665) has won the Best of West award to be presented at SEMICON West 2025, October 7-9 at the Phoenix Convention Center (PCC) in Phoenix, Arizona. 

Presented by SEMI and Semiconductor Digest each year, the Best of West award recognizes innovative new products or services that are significantly advancing the electronics manufacturing supply chain or a particular manufacturing capability. 

The Malema LFC-7650 Series Ultrasonic Flow Controller with integrated pressure transducer and state-of-the-art control algorithm provides ±1% metering accuracy with superior performance and repeatable control in all operating conditions. Offering a wide range of flow control from 50–4,000 mL/min, these closed-loop flow control modules are ideal for wet clean tools and post-CMP cleaning applications. 

The LFC-7650 Series, made of all polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) wetted part construction to ensure compatibility with Ultra High Purity (UHP) liquid chemicals and Deionized (DI) water, features ultrasonic technology suitable as a drop-in upgrade for competing differential pressure flow controllers. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology used in the LFC-7650 Series ensures reliable performance even with a certain degree of bubbles present in process fluids. This flow controller also eliminates the issue of measurement drifts caused by environmental and temperature changes. 

“Malema’s LFC-7650 Flow Controller is a game-changer for precision chemical delivery in semiconductor manufacturing, setting new benchmarks for accuracy, reliability and smart process control,” said Pete Singer, Editor-in-Chief of Semiconductor Digest. “Congratulations to Malema for winning the Best of West competition.” 

The Best of West Award winner will be honored at SEMICON West 2025 today at 1 p.m. MST at the Smart Mobility/Smart MedTech Theater in the North Building, Level 300 of the PCC.
