INFICON Introduces Transpector XPR3L Gas Analysis System at Intersolar North America 2008

Optimizing Solar and LCD Process Yield by Monitoring Gas Pressures,
Detecting Contaminants and Locating Leaks

Syracuse, NY - July 8, 2008: INFICON will showcase its new Transpector® XPR3L Gas Analysis System, used for PVD process monitoring to gain real-time data on process gas pressures, gas ratios, contamination levels, impurities and leaks, at this year's Intersolar North America, July 15 - 17 in San Francisco. Transpector XPR3L provides dual-purpose functionality, process monitoring and base vacuum assurance by operating from ultra-high vacuum (UHV) up to 10 mTorr (20 mTorr optional).

Transpector XPR3L improves process yield, reduces scrap, and improves product quality through continuous and automatic monitoring of process gas partial pressures and gas ratios, as well as detecting and identifying possible contaminants. Transpector XPR3L operates across a 1 to 100 amu mass range, protecting the investment and reducing risk by providing the ability to detect a broad range of materials, contaminants or by products.

Transpector XPR3L is compatible with Tware32 process characterization software to facilitate gas analyzer control, data collection and display. The system is also compatible with FabGuard, the suite of software products to provide reliable advanced diagnostics and process control.
