摘要: A method comprises: heating a flow of coolant liquid by passing the flow through one or more fluidic tubing lines, channels or conduits that are in thermal contact with a housing of a vacuum pump; apportioning the flow of heated coolant liquid between a bypass fluid tubing line and a channel within a wall of a vacuum chamber; recombining the first and second partial flows of the heated coolant liquid; passing the recombined flow of the coolant liquid through a heat exchanger that cools the coolant liquid; and recirculating the cooled coolant liquid through the one or more fluidic tubing lines, channels or conduits that are in thermal contact with the vacuum pump housing, wherein the apportionment of the flow of the heated coolant liquid is automatically performed under the control of an electronic controller or computer in response to a temperature measurement received by the electronic controller or computer.

摘要: An exemplary breath analysis system may include a sampling chamber having a molecule collector disposed therein. The molecule collector may be configured such that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in a breath sample introduced to the sampling chamber adhere to the molecule collector. A heating element may ramp heat within the sampling chamber, causing release of at least a portion of the VOCs adhered to the molecule collector, lighter and/or less bound VOCs first, heavier and/or more strongly bound VOCs later. An analysis device (e.g., a mass spectrometer or a Terahertz (THz) spectrometer) may identify one or more target VOCs from among at least the portion of the VOCs released from the molecule collector and generate an output representative of the identified target VOC(s). The output may include information that quantitates a concentration of the target VOC(s) with respect to a source of the breath sample.

摘要: A residual gas analyser (40) for analysis of a residual gas (30), in particular a residual gas in an EUV lithography system (1), includes an inlet system (41) for admission of the residual gas from a vacuum environment (27a) into the residual gas analyser, and a mass analyser (43) having a detector (44) for detecting ionized constituents (30a) of the residual gas. The residual gas analyser includes an ion transfer device (42) for transferring the ionized constituents of the residual gas to the mass analyser, the ion transfer device having an ion filtering device (45) configured for filtering at least one ionic constituent (30a) of the residual gas. Also disclosed is an EUV lithography system, in particular an EUV lithography apparatus, which includes at least one residual gas analyser configured as indicated above for analysing a residual gas in a vacuum environment of the EUV lithography system.

摘要: A mass spectrometry method comprises: (a) introducing ions and gas into a first electrode section of an ion transport apparatus along an axis, the ion transport apparatus further comprising a second electrode section including: a plurality of stacked, mutually parallel ring or plate electrodes; and an ion outlet aperture configured to receive the ions from the second electrode section and to transfer the ions to the vacuum chamber; (b) providing only non-oscillatory voltages to electrodes of the first electrode section of the ion transport apparatus that divert motion of the ions away from that axis and towards an entrance aperture of the second electrode section; (c) transporting the ions through the second electrode section to and through the ion outlet aperture to the vacuum chamber; and (d) removing a major portion of the gas through an exhaust port that is offset from the ion outlet aperture.

摘要: The present invention relates to an assembly comprising a vacuum chamber and a time-of-flight mass spectrometer wherein the time-of-flight mass spectrometer is contained within the vacuum chamber. The time-of-flight mass spectrometer comprising a first electrode and a second electrode, the second electrode being spaced apart from the first electrode at a distance defining a portion of an ion-flight path therebetween. The assembly further comprising a first support for supporting the first electrode, the first support arranged between an inner surface of the vacuum chamber and the first electrode. The first support is configured to permit relative movement between at least a portion of the inner surface of the vacuum chamber and the first electrode. The inner surface of the vacuum chamber and the first electrode are thermally coupled. The present invention also relates to a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass analyser. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for out-gassing to remove contaminants from surfaces within a vacuum chamber by heating and subsequently cooling the surfaces.
