<p class="MsoNormal">Greeting fellow Nanofabbers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Has anyone experienced frequent failures of convectron style vacuum gauges in a Xenon Difluoride etcher? I chose to use this style because it is important for us to observe vacuum over a wide range for this process, but within 10 hours
of running time, the readout displays “bad sensor” or the gauge will not read above 3 Torr. I have been using a major vacuum component supplier’s version of a popular manufacturer’s gauge and we have an isolation valve that closes during process. I suspect
residual XeF2 is the culprit but I would like to hear from the community if there have been similar failures.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
