FTIR Gas Analyzer,

Overview

The FG-100A series of FTIR gas analyzers enables the detection and measurement of a wide variety of substances, such as PFCs, greenhouse gases and semiconductor / flat panel display (FPD) process gases. Legislation / guidelines encourages industry to act to reduce these substances due to their contribution to global warming. To provide effective on-site gas measurement, we have developed compact single cell and dual cell models, their portability makes for easy transportation, along with its ease of set up, making them suitable for a diverse range of gas measurement applications
The FG-100A Series is available as a total system, including software, ideal for semiconductor/FPD process gas analysis, an extensive library, and a portable sampling unit. With expertise in environmental gas analysis built up over a period of 50 years, HORIBA technology provides gas-monitoring support for  your semiconductor and FPD processes.

Features

  • Data sampling possible down to intervals of 0.6 seconds*
    "Speed Priority Mode" can be selected at the time of measurement to perform data sampling at a cycle of less than one second. This is effective for recipes that are completed in a short time and for precise verification of the behavior of exhaust gas when conditions are changed.
    *Depending on measurement conditions.
  • Compact and ease of use makes it ideal for those environments where space is a premium.

The FG-100A Series can be easily carried and installed in small spaces for efficient analytical performance.

  • Single and dual cell models available.
    Dual cell models enable continuous monitoring, with single-touch changeover, ideal for situations where sampling is done at two points that vary widely in concentration, such as at the inlet and outlet of an abatement system. This eliminates the need to purge and contributes to rapid and efficient gas analysis.
  • A line up of five cell optical path lengths for optimal matching to your gas-density sampling situation.
    Five cell optical path lengths (0.01, 0.1, 0.8, 2.4, and 10 m). Depending on the concentration in the sample, simply swap in a cell unit of appropriate optical path length to enable highly precise measurement. Cells are also available for measuring gas concentrations in a decompressed state immediately following the processing chamber.
  • Continuous monitoring with an optimal liquid-nitrogen-free detector
    Electronically cooled MCT detectors are used to eliminate the complications of providing liquid-nitrogen inside the clean room. Continuous monitoring can be smoothly implemented.
  • Extensive library
    More than 38 types of spectra and calibration curves for semiconductor and FPD processes are provided as a standard library. In addition, efficient gas analysis is supported with a lineup of more than 260 types of spectra.

  • Measurement condition:
    Liquid-nitrogen-cooled MCT detector with 10 m cell optical path length
    *By optimizing the conditions of analysis, it may be possible to obtain even greater precision.
  • User friendly software
    A variety of functions are provided as standard features, including concentration trend display which is ideal for real-time analysis, automatic spectra storing, and automatic storing of concentration log files. A navigation function supports the procedure for creating calibration curves, making it possible even for first-time users to create calibration curves by multivariate analysis. The operation can be accomplished on a Windows® notebook computer.
