    摘要: A gas analysis system and method use foreground broadband gas monitoring and background selective gas analysis. The foreground broadband monitoring indicates concentrations of a class of chemicals or contaminants in a gas sample, provides real-time warnings of contaminants, and can activate the background selective analysis. Separate broadband detectors and gas analyzers can respectively perform broadband monitoring and selective analysis. To reduce system components, a broadband detector that performs broadband monitoring switches to measure concentrations of chemicals output from a separation device for the selective analysis.

    摘要: In a plasma processing system, displacement current is removed from a current measurement by providing a secondary capacitor connected in parallel with a primary capacitor defined by an anode and a cathode spaced from one another within the plasma doping chamber. The secondary capacitor is chosen or adjusted to have a same or nearly the same capacitance as the primary capacitor. When a voltage pulse is applied to both the primary and secondary capacitors, the respective currents through the capacitors are measured. In order to remove the effects of the displacement current that is present at the leading and falling edges of the voltage pulse, and in order to measure the ion current within the doping chamber, the secondary current through the secondary capacitor is subtracted from the primary current through the primary capacitor.

    摘要: A discharge ionization detector (DID) includes a sensor that uses an alternating current (AC) discharge through a working gas as an ionization source. The sensor includes a discharge chamber, into which the working gas is introduced, and an ionization chamber, into which a sample gas is introduced. UV photons from the discharge chamber and metastable particles that enter the ionization chamber from the discharge chamber ionize molecules in the sample gas. The ions generated from the ionized sample gas are measured as a current indicating the quantity of ionizable molecules in the sample gas. For selective identification of molecules in the sample gas, one or more chemical filters can filter the sample gas to separate target gases from gases that interfere with detection of the target gases. Additionally, a supply for the working gas can change the working gas to change the maximum energy available for ionization of the sample gas. Thus, current measurements with different working gases indicate quantities of classes of molecules having different ionization potentials.
