APIX δQ & APIX Quattro Gas Analyzer
Thermo Scientific
Continuous bulk gas analysis ensures the purity standards required for QA/QC in semiconductor manufacturing processes.
The APIX δQ and APIX Quattro gas analyzers utilize atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry (API-MS) to connect to one or multiple ultra-high purity (UHP) gas pipelines, enabling immediate and continuous analysis. In the API-MS technology, sample gases are ionized in a reaction chamber maintained at atmospheric pressure, and both positive and negative ions are detected with high precision by the mass spectrometer. This process maximizes ionization efficiency while reducing background noise, resulting in exceptionally high detection sensitivity. This system can identify trace impurities at levels of 10 to 50 ppt, making it ideal for continuous monitoring of UHP gases in fields that require stringent quality control, such as semiconductor manufacturing. Additionally, it offers superior flexibility compared to chromatography, allowing for the immediate measurement of a wide variety of impurities, including moisture, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane.
