Getter Pumps Gas Surface Solid Bulk G. Franchetti
Definition of NEG Getters are materials capable of chemically adsorbing gas molecules. To do so their surface must be clean. For Non-Evaporable Getters a clean surface is obtained by heating to a temperature high enough to dissolve the native oxide layer into the bulk. T = Ta T = RT T = RT Native oxide layer -> no pumping Heating in vacuum Oxide dissolution -> activation Pumping P. Chiggiato NEGs pump most of the gas except rare gases and methane at room temperature
Sorption Speed and Sorption Capacity C.Benvenuti, CAS 2007 G. Franchetti
Choice of the coating technique for thin film: sputtering substrate to coat: vacuum chamber target material: NEG (cathode) driving force: electrostatic energy carrier: noble gas ions NEG composition • The trend in vacuum technology consists in moving the pump progressively closer to the vacuum chamber wall. • The ultimate step of this process consists of transforming the vacuum chamber from a gas source into a pump. • One way to do this is by “ex-situ” coating the vacuum chamber with a NEG thin film that will be activated during the “in situ” bakeout of the vacuum system.
