The Basics of Process Gas Analysis in Chemical Vapor Deposition

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes rely on process gases for the transport of volatile precursors and byproducts. Performing process gas analysis on exhaust streams in CVD applications provides insight into the chemical reactions that occur at the surface of the substrate, enabling CVD processes to be monitored and optimized. In this article, we’re looking at the fundamentals of CVD…

Hoe een octrooi mijn kerstverlichting redde

Ooit wel eens geprobeerd een Ikeakast in elkaar te zetten? Zo een met een montagehandleiding zonder tekst en alleen maar plaatjes? Dan kent u de frustratie die daarmee gepaard kan gaan. Ook bij de verlichtingsset zat zo’n reeks plaatjes, maar we kwamen handen tekort en het riep toch wat vragen op.

Hainbuch clamping technology and Cellro automation

In order to flexibly produce small series of diverse products unmanned with CNC turning and milling machines, everything must be right on the machine side and automation side, explains Jan Paul van Veenendaal. As Sales & Business Development Director Germany, he is happy to explain why Hainbuch GmbH clamping technology and Cellro automation have much…

What are the challenges and trends in sewer robotics?

The machines and devices that work in the sewer require sturdy and durable technology on the smallest possible footprint. Standard solutions are rarely feasible, which is why we develop most of the components ourselves. In terms of operation, we are expecting an increasing shortage of expert personnel. So the idea is to replace humans with…

Modeling the Pulsed Laser Heating of Semitransparent Materials

It’s quite common to use focused laser light to rapidly heat materials for various purposes, including within the semiconductor processing industry. Here, we will look at a Gaussian profile laser beam with periodically pulsed intensity, heating up two different semitransparent materials deposited onto a silicon substrate. To model this, we will solve a multiphysics modeling problem using the temperature…
