Applications

Plasma characterisation, plasma ion analysers and Langmuir probes

Hiden plasma probes measure some of the key plasma parameters and provide detailed information relating to plasma reaction chemistry.

For evolved gas analysis as a function of time and temperature

Coupling a Mass Spectrometer to Thermal Analysis techniques provides for evolved gas analysis as a function of time and temperature. The combined TA-MS data is used to characterise materials.

For the determination of surface composition, contaminant analysis and depth profiling

SIMS is a high sensitivity surface analysis technique for the determination of surface composition, contaminant analysis and for depth profiling in the uppermost surface layers of a sample.

For the determination of surface composition, contaminant analysis and for depth profiling

Hiden's quadrupole mass spectrometers provide vacuum, plasma and surface analysis in nanotechnology applications.

For the determination of surface composition, contaminant analysis and for depth profiling

The Hiden quadrupole mass spectrometers provide high sensitivity detection capability for the most demanding XHV/UHV vacuum environments. The pulse ion counting detector enables measurement of both positive and negative ions through 7 continuous decades, the integral accumulation mode being used for the capture of discreet particle events. Gating inputs and multi-channel analysis- MCA modes are included for pulsed molecular beam studies.

For routine, fast, wide dynamic range residual gas analysis

Residual Gas Analysis is a general term for the analysis of gas and vapour species in vacuum chambers and vacuum processes.

For the determination of surface composition, contaminant analysis and for depth profiling

Hiden's modular CATLAB-PCS offers a wide range of experimental tools for catalyst researchers, from rapid dynamic screening to fully automated precise investigations of active surface chemistry and optimisation of catalytic activity.

For analysis of respiratory gases, hydrocarbons and sulphides

Respiratory gases, hydrocarbons and vapour analysis in bio fuel research and ecological studies.

Plasma characterisation, plasma ion analysers and langmuir probes

Thin film processing in research, development and functionalisation of surfaces has a broad application range in microelectronics, nanotechnology, solar, flat panel, mechanics, optics, photonics, textiles, coatings, chemistry, biology, and medicine.

For molecular beam analysis

Hiden’s  3F Series / 1000 Series RGA mass spectrometers with pulse ion counting detection system and integral signal gating enable effective molecular beam analysis.

For process monitoring and leak detection

Vacuum processes require strict control of gas composition, and contamination to maintain and improve product quality and yield.
