Front-mounted Dual Sensor
The front-mounted dual crystal sensor not only features proven reliability and durability, but also outperforms any other sensor head on the market in thermal stability. The dual crystal configuration provides a backup wafer, which is essential for critical processes in vacuum chambers where a secondary wafer is highly recommended.
The front-mounted design enables easy insertion of the wafer holder in applications with insufficient lateral clearance for side insertion. All components are mechanically assembled (as opposed to being welded), allowing convenient on-site replacement when necessary. Sensors can be ordered individually or as sensor/feedthrough combinations, available in either welded or compression-fitting configurations.
Sensor Configuration
The front-mounted dual crystal sensor comes standard with a configuration where water pipes run parallel to the crystal plane. A pneumatic wafer baffle is included to protect the backup wafer while the primary wafer monitors deposition rates. Featuring a pull-down design, the baffle allows easy wafer replacement.
The exposed wafer electrodes are fully grounded, effectively eliminating issues caused by RF interference.
