Why are Vacuum Systems Essential in Nanotechnology?
In nanotechnology, the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale requires an environment free from contaminants such as dust, moisture, and other particles that can interfere with nanofabrication processes. Vacuum systems help achieve this by removing air and other gases, thereby providing a clean and controlled environment. This is essential for processes such as electron beam lithography, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and physical vapor deposition (PVD).
