The Chemical Process and Nuclear Measurements Group is seeking a semiconductor-grade Process Residual Gas Analyzer (RGA) for use on flow systems, including an ALD reactor, as part of a CHIPS R&D Metrology program. This program focuses on developing digital twin technology for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The flow systems, equipped with in situ and inline sensors, are used to acquire process data on thin film growth characterization. The RGA will serve as an online process diagnostic. The RGA must be compatible with low-volatility organometallic and metal halide precursors and process gases. The data and models generated by this project will lead to improvements in process optimization and control, ultimately resulting in cost savings for the US semiconductor industry.
