Benefits

  • Cost-effective: Cylindrical chambers are generally less expensive and straightforward to assemble, reducing lead times and costs. The chambers can be fabricated from standard vacuum fittings or custom diameter components.
  • Strength: Cylindrical chambers are a robust solution for a wide range of vacuum applications
  • Versatile Access Methods: Cylindrical vacuum chambers offer flexibility in access, with horizontal chambers having openings at both ends and vertical chambers providing options such as lifting the base or removing the top lid.

Applications

  • Semiconductor Industry: Cylindrical vacuum chambers are frequently used in the semiconductor industry, where their strength, volume, ease of manufacture, and ability to withstand high vacuum levels are essential.
  • Surface Analysis: Like spherical chambers, cylindrical chambers are also installed in instruments used for techniques such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Contact Angle Measurements, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
