Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of vacuum measurement technology, and in particular to a wide-range vacuum measurement compound gauge. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum is a rarefied gas state below 1 standard atmospheric pressure. It is widely used in major projects such as semiconductors and accelerators. It is an important special environment in the field of scientific research and high-end manufacturing. In the integrated circuit manufacturing process, the dynamic range of vacuum pressure is 10 -9 Pa-10 5 Pa; accelerator vacuum pressure is lower than 10 -8 Pa, to ensure beam lifetime; high-end precision instruments and equipment, such as mass spectrometers and electron microscopes, also work under 10 -9 pa-10 5 Pa, 10 is required for each of the above fields -9 Pa-10 5 High-precision wide-range vacuum measuring instrument in the Pa range.
[0003] It is difficult for a vacuum gauge based on a single principle to achieve wide-range vacuum pressure measurement. Domestic and foreign countries usually select sensors based on 2-3 principles to achieve wide-range measurement. For example, Pirani gauges, piezoelectric vacuum sensors, or hot and cold cathode ionization vacuum gauges, etc. The most common method is to combine Pirani and ionization vacuum gauges. However, neither Pirani vacuum gauges nor ionization vacuum gauges are absolute vacuum measuring instruments. Their sensitivity to different gases varies greatly and cannot be evaluated. They can only be calibrated in a vacuum environment that simulates the conditions of the application site, which brings great resistance to high-precision, low-cost, and efficient vacuum measurement.
[0004] Paul C. Arnold et al. invented a wide-range vacuum measuring instrument (wide-range composite vacuum gauge, 2008, US7418869) that combines an ionization vacuum gauge, a Pirani vacuum gauge, a differential pressure film vacuum gauge and a pressure gauge. The vacuum gauge includes a hot cathode ionization vacuum estimation device that realizes 10 -7 Vacuum measurement in the range of Pa-2Pa, Pirani vacuum gauge measures 0.2Pa-6.5×10 3 Pa, differential pressure film vacuum gauge and pressure gauge can achieve 5×10 2 Pa-10 5 The vacuum gauge uses three sensors to measure the pressure from ultra-high vacuum to atmospheric pressure. However, the hot cathode outgassing and thermal radiation, the pressure difference introduced by the partition structure, and the temperature error make it impossible for each sensor to accurately measure the pressure in the same measurement area. On the one hand, it causes inconsistent measurement linearity in different measuring ranges. On the other hand, the design cannot achieve self-calibration and calibration during long-term operation.
