Metrology for airborne molecular contaminants II

  • Rajamäki, Timo (Manager)

    Project: EU project

    Project Details

    Description

    Improving product quality and reducing losses in clean room production.          
                
    A key challenge facing semiconductor industry is production losses due to Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) in the form of vapours and aerosols that affect microscale manufacturing. 
             
    Project develops spectroscopic techniques and reference materials to measure priority AMCs at lower concentrations and faster rates than is currently possible.       

    VTT MIKES develops and characterises a trace gas analyser allowing simultaneous sensing of HCl, NH3 and HF at the nmol/mol level.
