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 and…

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 intelligent…
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 field…
Off-the-chart speed with an off-the-shelf solution
Chances are, you can point to a few key processes in your industry where timing is especially critical – where precise execution is essential to the quality and quantity of your output. When every microsecond matters, even the most powerful PLC can be pushed to its limits. B&R’s reACTION Technology delivers ultrafast response times with the low cost and effort…
