A User’s Guide to Vacuum Technology

Choose and understand the vacuum technology that fits your project’s needs with this indispensable guide.

Vacuum technology is used to provide process environments for other kinds of engineering technology, making it an unsung cornerstone of hundreds of projects incorporating analysis, research and development, manufacturing, and more. Since it is very often a secondary technology, users primarily interested in processes incorporating it will frequently only encounter vacuum technology when purchasing or troubleshooting. There is an urgent need for a guide to vacuum technology made with these users in mind.

For decades, A User’s Guide to Vacuum Technology has met this need, with a user-focused introduction to vacuum technology as it is incorporated into semiconductor, optics, solar cell, and other engineering processes. With an emphasis on otherwise neglected subjects and on accessibility to the secondary user of vacuum technology, it balances treatment of older systems that are still in use with a survey of the latest cutting-edge technologies. The result promises to continue as the essential guide to vacuum systems.

Readers of the fourth edition of A User’s Guide to Vacuum Technology will also find:

  • Expanded treatment of gauges, pumps, materials, systems, and best operating practices
  • Detailed discussion of cutting-edge topics like ultraclean vacuum and contamination control
  • An authorial team with decades of combined research and engineering experience

A User’s Guide to Vacuum Technology is essential for those entering emerging STEM programmes, engineering professionals and graduate students working with a huge range of engineering technologies.
