Component Specifications

Definition
The chamber body is the primary pressure vessel that creates and maintains the vacuum environment required for processes like thin-film deposition, plasma etching, heat treatment, and semiconductor manufacturing. It provides structural integrity, thermal stability, and leak-tight containment for vacuum operations.
Working Principle
The chamber body operates by creating a sealed environment where internal pressure is reduced below atmospheric levels using vacuum pumps. This low-pressure environment minimizes gas molecule collisions, enabling controlled processes like material deposition, surface modification, and contamination-free manufacturing.
Materials
Stainless steel (304L, 316L), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), titanium alloys, or specialized ceramics for high-temperature applications. Materials are selected based on corrosion resistance, outgassing properties, thermal conductivity, and magnetic permeability requirements.
Technical Parameters
  • Leak Rate < 10^-9 mbar·L/s
  • Surface Finish Ra < 0.8 μm
  • Wall Thickness 10-50 mm
  • Pressure Rating 10^-3 to 10^-9 Torr
  • Temperature Range -196°C to 1200°C
  • Port Configurations CF, KF, ISO flanges
Standards
ISO 2861, ISO 1609, DIN 28400, ASME BPVC Section VIII
