Ultravákuumig
Ultravákuumig, also known as ultra-high vacuum (UHV), refers to a vacuum with a pressure level lower than 10^-6 mbar (10^-8 Pa). This extreme level of vacuum is achieved through various techniques such as diffusion pumps, turbo molecular pumps, and ion pumps, which remove gas molecules from the chamber. Ultravákuumig is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications, including semiconductor manufacturing, where it ensures a clean environment for depositing thin films and growing crystals. In research, UHV is essential for studies in surface science, materials science, and fundamental physics, as it allows for the observation and manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. The creation and maintenance of ultravákuumig require specialized knowledge and equipment, as even small leaks can significantly affect the pressure level. The term "ultravákuumig" is commonly used in German-speaking countries, reflecting the historical and cultural context of vacuum technology in those regions.
