MKS Vision 2000-A family
Research Quality: 40% complete

The MKS Vision 2000-A is a residual gas analyzer designed for atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes. The Vision 2000-A achieves a minimum detectable partial pressure of less than 2.7e-10 Pa (2e-12 Torr). The Vision 2000-A features a modular UniBloc inlet with all metal seals and field serviceable parts.[1]

How it works

The instrument continuously measures gas composition at the low partial pressures typical of ALD and CVD processes. The modular design of the UniBloc inlet allows field replacement of components without breaking the vacuum seal, reducing downtime. The analyzer reports concentrations and can be integrated into process control systems for real-time feedback.[1]
