Before & After: How SMART-Spray Transforms Your Leak Detection Process
From bulky equipment to wireless efficiency - discover a faster, safer, and more precise way to perform leak testing in semiconductor manufacturing
Leak testing in semiconductor manufacturing
Leak detection is critical for ensuring quality control in semiconductor manufacturing - but it doesn’t have to be cumbersome. Traditional helium leak detection often means struggling with large cylinders, managing long hoses, and handling complex equipment. These challenges not only slow the leak checking process but also increase the risk of errors and safety hazards
Enter SMART-Spray from INFICON: This wireless, mobile helium spray gun changes the game - improving leak testing efficiency, speed, accuracy, and operator comfort. But how big is the difference? Let’s take a closer look at helium leak testing with and without SMART-Spray.
Leak Detection: Traditional vs. SMART-Spray
Before SMART-Spray:
🚫 Bulky helium cylinders that are hard to maneuver
🚫 Long, tangled hoses limiting mobility and increasing trip hazards
🚫 Manual spray adjustments prone to user error
🚫 Time-consuming setup for semiconductor leak detection and limited reach to all test points
🚫Remote Control required to read leak rate, where you spray
Operators often find themselves navigating tight spaces within complex and large equipment, all while trying to maintain precision - a challenging combination that leads to inefficiencies and potential safety risks.
After SMART-Spray:
✅ Wireless and Mobile: Move freely without being tethered to hoses or cylinders
✅ Precision at Your Fingertips: Select from 4 different pre-adjusted helium flow settings directly on the device for consistent leak testing results
✅ Real-Time Data: The built-in display shows leak rates and device status at a glance
✅ Enhanced Safety: No hoses on the floor means fewer trip hazards
✅ More Space: Making the helium cylinder unnecessary means space gained for other operations
✅ Extended Use: Refillable, exchangeable Helium cartridges (HeliCan) and rechargeable/exchangeable batteries ensure seamless leak checking
By eliminating the physical and logistical challenges of traditional leak detection, SMART-Spray enables faster leak tests with greater accuracy. Operators can now access hard-to-reach areas without struggling with equipment, reducing both testing time and operator fatigue.

Why the Difference Matters:
In semiconductor manufacturing, where leak rate thresholds can be as stringent as 1 x 10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s, accuracy is non-negotiable. SMART-Spray ensures that operators can perform leak tests quickly and reliably - even in complex systems with numerous test points.
And it’s not just about speed - it’s about safety, efficiency, and ease of use. With fewer moving parts and a simplified leak checking process, SMART-Spray minimizes both physical strain and the risk of operational errors.
