Key Applications & Benefits of SIMS-Based End Point Detectors
Advanced semiconductor manufacturing necessitates control at every stage of the fabrication process, with etch processes being among the most critical to perform with precision. Even a microscopic deviation at a material interface can impact device performance, yield, and long-term reliability. Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS)-based end point detection has emerged as a dependable way to determine…
Optimising Thin Film End Point “Recipes” Through Data Replay
Timing is everything in thin film etching. Having the process halt at the right moment is critical to protecting underlying layers, maintaining uniformity, and maximising yield. This level of control hinges on thin film end point recipes, logical frameworks that interpret real-time secondary ion mass spectrometry signals to detect when a target layer has been removed….
Palladium-Silver Membranes for Hydrogen Isotope Control in Fusion Fuel Cycles
Efficient management of hydrogen isotopes is critical for the operation of future nuclear fusion reactors. A fusion machine’s fuel cycle requires the precise separation, rebalancing, and removal of protium to maintain an optimal deuterium-tritium (D-T) mix. While cryogenic distillation and temperature swing adsorption are the current reference technologies for these tasks, both approaches involve a high…
Using HPR-20 EPIC to Investigate Coke Formation during Propane Dehydrogenation
The development of efficient and sustainable catalytic processes is a key challenge in modern chemical engineering. As global demand for chemical building blocks such as propylene continues to grow, new technologies are needed to optimize their production. One promising method to produce propylene is the direct dehydrogenation of propane (PDH). However conventional heterogeneous platinum-based catalysts used…
