Un analizzatore di massa ed energia per la diagnostica dei plasmi

Misura lo spettro di massa di ioni, neutri e radicali in un plasma

Le sonde per plasma della Hiden misurano alcuni dei parametri chiave dei plasmi e forniscono informazioni dettagliate sulla chimica delle reazioni che vi avvengono.

 

Overview

A wide range of industrial processes use electrical plasmas, and new applications are developing rapidly. In the microelectronics industry the demands of higher yields and shrinking device geometries mean that process reproducibility and understanding is vital.

Detailed understanding of the reaction kinetics of plasma ions and neutral species plays a key role in the development of advanced surface engineering processes such as HIPIMS.
