Summary |
We utilize magnetron sputtering to fabricate Non-Evaporable Getter (NEG) films. After activation, these films can maintain ultra-high vacuum (10-10 Torr) without pumps, with activation temperatures below 200 °C. Once activated, the getter films absorb residual gases in the vacuum system to achieve the desired vacuum level. Common residual gases include H2, H2O, CO, and CO2. |
Scientific Breakthrough |
This technology uses advanced magnetron sputtering to fabricate NEG films with activation temperatures below 200 °C, achieving ultra-high vacuum (10-10 Torr) in a 1 meter long, 22 mm diameter chamber without pumps. |
Industrial Applicability |
Non-evaporable getter (NEG) films are suitable for accelerators, MEMS, semiconductors, optoelectronics, and medical instruments. They replace vacuum pumps, enhancing system stability, with broad application potential and economic benefits. |
