Vendor : New Analytical Method Helps Control Hard-to-Measure Contamination
Entegris combines precision measurement with contamination control to extend the lifetime of advanced lithography optics
CHASKA (Minneapolis) MN, USA - Entegris, Inc. introduced a new solution for accurately measuring and controlling volatile organic compounds that cause contamination in advanced semiconductor lithography processes. If left uncontrolled, these low molecular weight, silicon-containing, organic compounds (such as TMS) have been shown to impact 248 nm and 193 nm exposure tools, and can lead to permanent damage of sensitive and costly optical components.
Entegris is is one of a few companies worldwide with analytical services capabilities to accurately sample and analyze these contaminants in the fab environment.
Manufacturers of scanner tools have already mandated the measurement of high molecular weight contaminants, but until now, there has been no means for fabs to reliably identify and quantify the presence of the low molecular weight variety.

Vendor : ABB launches new water analyzers at Automation & Power World 2009
Aztec range sets the new standard for colorimetric monitoring
Orlando, FL -- ABB Instrumentation introduced the first of three new products in the ABB Aztec 600 range of online analytical analyzers for potable water treatment at Automation & Power World 2009 in late March. Built on ABB's new analytical instrument platform, the ABB Aztec 600 Manganese colorimetric monitor offers enhanced accuracy with simple operation and maintenance for potable water treatment applications.
The Aztec 600 analyzers use an LED and detector to measure the passage of light through a sample. A single precisely controlled piston pump provides all the sample and reagent fluid handling for measurement, mixing and disposal.

Vendor : QualiScope II Advanced Automatic Brinell Measurement System
Ft Lauderdale FL, USA -- Qualitest presents QualiScope II, the latest technology in handheld automatic Brinell measurement systems.
QualiScope II is designed to make your testing program faster and more accurate. It also improves quality control management - it automatically stores data and is network capable.
Although the Brinell test is widely known as one of the most accurate test methods for hardness testing of metals, error in the reading of the indentation size results in measurement errors of 0.1 mm between operators - the range is even greater between labs. This error can take up your entire tolerance specification.
The QualiScope II will virtually eliminate operator influence on test results. Repeatability and reproducibility will be greatly improved using the QualiScope II measurement system; test results will no longer change with every shift change.
