INFICON Announces Expansion of Combination Vacuum Gauge Line with TripleGauge for Semiconductor and Industrial Coating Applications
Three Technologies in One Compact Gauge Reduces Cost and Complexity of Process and Base Pressure Measurement
Syracuse, NY - 23 June 2003: INFICON Holding AG (SWX Swiss Exchange and NASDAQ: IFCN), a leading provider of vacuum instrumentation, critical sensor technologies, and process control products for analysis, measurement and control of semiconductor and other advanced processes, announces the expansion of the technology-proven Combination Vacuum Gauge line to include the TripleGauge Bayard-Alpert Capacitance Diaphragm Gauge. Designed to take the place of three sensors (hot ion, convection-enhanced Pirani, and vacuum switch), the unique TripleGauge reduces the complexity of installation, set-up, and vacuum measurement on the semiconductor tool for processing and transfer chambers.
The TripleGauge BCG450 combines the advantages of three technologies in a single, economical package to measure process and base pressures from 3.75 x 10 -10 to 1125 Torr. Above 10 Torr, the TripleGauge BCG450 measures gas-type-independent and solves venting problems with different gas types such as argon or helium. The integrated Pirani sensor protects the hot ion filament from burn-out and contamination by automatically switching emission off at high pressures.
