HALO KA MAX H2O
PPT-Level Moisture Detection CRDS Analyzer
ppt-level moisture detection CRDS Gas Analyzer
ENABLING PPT MOISTURE DETECTION IN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING
As the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS) drives the semiconductor industry beyond Moore’s Law and sets the requirements for the next decade, we deliver our TIGER OPTICS™ HALO KA Max™ H2O ppt-level moisture detection CRDS gas analyzer.
Built upon our customer-acknowledged and our renowned time-based technology – Continuous-Wave Cavity Ring-Down (CRDS) Spectroscopy—users can verify moisture impurity levels down to 100 ppt in semi bulk gases, with drift-free stability and virtually instant response to moisture upsets. Our HALO KA Max H2O offers exceptional speed and further improved usability in an all-inclusive and compact form factor. The analyzer is fast to install, easy to use and effortless to maintain, with built-in zero verification. The HALO KA Max H2O excels in trace-level moisture detection in bulk gases and specialty gases used in semiconductor manufacturing.
