Semiconductor Process Pressure Measurement Solution – MKS 852B-13384 | Baratron® Series
The MKS 852B-13384 Baratron® Capacitance Manometer is the precision pressure transducer of choice for engineers designing and maintaining semiconductor fabrication, thin-film deposition, and high-vacuum process systems. When process repeatability and measurement accuracy are non-negotiable, this instrument delivers.
Where This Product Is Used
- Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication (CVD / PVD / Etch): Precise chamber pressure control during deposition and etch steps directly impacts yield. The 852B-13384 provides the stable, drift-free readings required for process repeatability at sub-Torr pressures.
- Vacuum Furnace & Annealing Systems: Thermal processing chambers demand accurate pressure monitoring across wide temperature ranges. The Baratron® capacitance sensing technology is temperature-compensated for consistent performance.
- Flat Panel Display (FPD) Manufacturing: Large-area glass substrate coating lines use this transducer to maintain uniform process pressure across the chamber, ensuring coating homogeneity.
- Solar Cell & Photovoltaic Production: PECVD and sputtering tools for thin-film solar cells rely on Baratron® sensors for real-time pressure feedback in reactive gas environments.
- Research & Development Vacuum Systems: University labs and R&D facilities specify the 852B series for its wide dynamic range and compatibility with corrosive process gases.
- Leak Detection & Vacuum Qualification: System integrators use this transducer as a reference standard during chamber qualification and leak-up rate testing.
