Basic Seminars

In microelectronics, solar technology, surface coating and metallurgy, many of the production processes take place under vacuum conditions. In order to manage these processes in a safe manner, knowledge about the basics and principles of vacuum creation and measurement are required. For many surface analysis methods and in the elementary particle research, vacuum is a prerequisite.

We offer tailored seminars for technicians as well as commercial employees dealing the basics of vacuum.

• B1 Fundamentals of Vacuum Technology

  Code: B1.1 to B1.10

  Target group: Users of vacuum technology

  Seminar goal: The purpose of this seminar is to provide you with the basics and principles of vacuum technology to help you understand the processes in your vacuum system in a qualitative and quantitative way.

  Topics:

  • Physical and vacuum technology
     - Definitions, units, calculations
     - Vapor, vapor pressure, desorption
     - Flow types, pump down times, conductances
  • Design and operation principle of vacuum pumps:
    - Fore vacuum pumps: rotary vane pumps, roots pumps (Roots blowers),scroll and screw pump
    - High vacuum pumps: Turbo molecular pumps, oil diffusion and cryopumps
    - Pump systems
  • Connection elements in vacuum technology
  • Introduction in total pressure measurement for the pressure range 1000 to 10^-12 mbar
  • Leak detection 
    - leak detection methods and practical examples

  The seminar presents theory and experiment by means of practical experiments, cutting models, videos and operational pumps and components.
