Vacuum Gauge Performance Under Rapid Pressure Cycling

Leave a Comment / Technical Deep Dive / By /

Rapid pressure cycling is a daily reality in atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and etch tools. Chambers swing from base pressures below 10−6 Torr to process pressures of 0.1–5 Torr and back hundreds or thousands of times per shift. Each transition stresses vacuum instrumentation, yet accurate, repeatable readings remain essential for […]

How to Protect Vacuum Gauges from Corrosive Process Gases

Leave a Comment / Maintenance & Troubleshooting / By /

In semiconductor etching, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD) tools, corrosive process gases such as chlorine and fluorine compounds rapidly degrade vacuum instrumentation. Filament corrosion, electrode contamination, and drift in pressure readings can lead to unplanned downtime, inaccurate process control, and costly sensor replacements.

MAX SPE cartridge extracting perchlorate from drinking water

MAX SPE Method for Perchlorate Detection in Drinking Water

Leave a Comment / MAX SPE Cartridges / By /

Environmental Concern of Perchlorate Contamination Perchlorate contamination in drinking water has emerged as a significant environmental and public health concern over the past two decades. Perchlorate (ClO4–) is a highly soluble and stable anion that originates primarily from industrial activities, particularly the manufacture and use of rocket propellants, fireworks, and explosives. Unlike many other contaminants,

Vacuum gauge mounted on ALD deposition chamber

Vacuum Gauge Integration in Thin Film ALD Systems

Leave a Comment / Industry Applications / By /

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) systems demand exceptional vacuum control to achieve self-limiting surface reactions, uniform film growth at the angstrom scale, and minimal contamination. Engineers and procurement specialists integrating vacuum instrumentation know that even minor pressure drifts or delayed response during precursor pulses can compromise throughput, film quality, and process repeatability.

Vacuum Gauge Drift Caused by Long-Term Electronic Aging

Leave a Comment / Maintenance & Troubleshooting / By /

Vacuum Gauge Drift Caused by Long-Term Electronic Aging Even in clean, well-maintained vacuum systems, pressure readings can slowly shift over years of continuous service. While electrode contamination and thermal effects receive the most attention, long-term electronic component aging in the signal-conditioning and high-voltage circuits is an equally important contributor to drift. For the VG-SP205 Pirani

SPE cartridge extracting herbicide residues from soil extract

SPE Workflow for Extracting Herbicide Residues from Agricultural Soil

Leave a Comment / Environmental Analysis / By /

Soil Sampling and Drying Procedures Effective extraction of herbicide residues from agricultural soil begins with proper sample collection and preparation. Representative soil samples should be collected from multiple locations within the field using a soil corer or auger to obtain a composite sample. The sampling depth should correspond to the herbicide application zone, typically 0-15

WCX SPE cartridge extracting biogenic amines from food sample

WCX SPE Extraction of Biogenic Amines in Fermented Food Products

Leave a Comment / Food Safety Testing / By /

Overview of Biogenic Amines in Fermented Foods Biogenic amines are nitrogenous compounds formed primarily through microbial decarboxylation of amino acids during fermentation processes. In fermented food products like wine, cheese, sauerkraut, and fermented meats, three key amines pose significant quality and safety concerns: histamine, tyramine, and putrescine. Histamine, derived from histidine, is particularly problematic as
