Visit us at SEMICON West 2016
Nye is exhibiting at SEMICON West 2016 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA, July 12 - 14, 2016. Visit booth 2604 to watch our latest testing video on ASTM E-595 Vacuum Stability and Outgassing.
The Vacuum Stability and Outgassing test is performed using a high vacuum test rig. The ASTM E-595 test method has become an industry standard in the High Vacuum world. The purpose of the test is to determine the amount of volatile content in a material when exposed to heat and vacuum in a closed system. The two parameters that are measured are total mass loss (TML) and collected volatile condensable materials (CVCM).
Outgassing is an absolutely critical design parameter in the Vacuum and Semiconductor markets. Condensable material from the outgassing onto nearby surfaces can become very problematic if they obscure optical instruments, cause a reaction, or contaminate materials in the system.
