Leak Testing Meets - New Semiconductor Industry Needs

From Alcatel Vacuum Products, Inc.
 

 

Helium leak detectors have evolved quite dramatically in recent years. Thanks to the electronics revolution, expanded features and interface capabilities have become more user friendly and more suitable for advanced applications, such as those found in the semiconductor industry.

Manufacturing integrated circuits requires many complex steps that use high-purity gases inside process chambers under vacuum conditions. To maintain the purity of these gases and the integrity of wafer surfaces during each manufacturing step, the semiconductor industry began switching to so-called "dry" vacuum pumping packages in the early 1990s.


Products & Services
Mechanical vacuum pumps and systems contain devices such as pistons, claws, scrolling spirals, and diaphragms to isolate and compress air. Search by Specification | Learn more about Mechanical Vacuum Pumps and Systems
