Mu-metal is a type of magnetic shielding material that is often used in electron spectroscopy chambers to minimise external magnetic interference. Electron spectroscopy techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. External magnetic fields can distort the trajectories of electrons, leading to inaccuracies in the measurements and affecting the overall performance of the spectroscopy system.
Whether it’s for the semiconductor industry, aerospace engineering or for scientific research purposes, industrial high vacuum system technology is central to many of the key operations that take place.
As the central building block in any vacuum system, the design of a vacuum chamber is inextricably linked to the design of the entire system. This which can vary widely, but a vacuum system typically consists of a vacuum pump or pumps, interconnecting piping, viewing window, the central analysis or deposition vacuum chamber...
The 'Copy Exact' (otherwise known as ‘Copy Exactly’, ‘Copy Exactly!) methodology was pioneered by Intel Corporation in the 1980s to enable semiconductor manufacturers to ramp up production of microchips quickly.
There are countless vacuum chamber builds available and, if you partner with VACGEN, you can benefit from a bespoke project that’s tailored to your exact needs – no matter how advanced the application.
Vacuum chambers are often the central point of technical research environments where test settings need to be totally clean – even at a molecular level.
