Application Notes

Radiation Curing Application Note

Related products: Oxygen analyser Series 800; Oxygen analyser Series 900 - Complete range;

Oxygen inhibits the reaction of radiation cured chemistries. In some cases the oxygen inhibitation is not important and thus the process can happen in air. Most chemical suppliers try to supply chemistries that will react in air.

Rapid Thermal Processing

Related products: Oxygen analyser Series 800; Oxygen analyser Series 900 - Complete range;

In Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) of semiconductors wafers, different metal compounds, such as tungsten, cobalt, platinum, aluminium or gallium, can be deposited onto the wafer by essentially baking the wafer in the presence of different gases.

Wave and Reflow Soldering Ovens Application Note

Related products: Oxygen analyser Series 900 - Complete range;

Wave soldering and reflow soldering ovens are designed to automatically “solder” the components on a printed circuit board (PCB). They consist of a varying number of thermal chambers where the temperature can be independently controlled depending on the type of PCB. Since oxygen causes oxidation of the solder, resulting in poor, weak connections, nitrogen is used to inert the oven’s environment prior to soldering.

RACE Sensor/IC Manufacturing Application Note

Related products: Oxygen analyser Series 900 - Complete range;

Past methods of applying interconnects in IC (integrated circuit) manufacturing have included chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and ion implantation. A new method in the industry uses low-k, spin-on dielectrics which allows for faster interconnection delays and higher throughput. This method is thought to be better than previous methods because during the spin-on process, a more uniform layer is applied. Also, no additional equipment is needed such as polishers. Therefore, the total cost is less and the equipment has a smaller footprint where floor space in a clean room is limited.

Monitoring O2 and CO2 in Fermentation Processes

Fermentation processes are used in the manufacturing of countless products from simple yeasts to complex enzymes and pharmaceutical products. Without fermentation we would have very few of the modern foods and health products we have come to enjoy. There are a very large number of manufacturers involved in fermentation around the world.
