Minimizing residual gas is crucial for maintaining a clean and controlled environment in nanotechnology applications. Some strategies include:
Improved Vacuum Systems: Using high-quality vacuum pumps and leak detection methods to ensure a tight seal. Bake-Out Procedures: Heating the vacuum chamber and its components to drive off adsorbed gases. Use of Getter Materials: These materials can absorb and trap specific types of gases, further reducing residual gas levels.
