Gasonics AWO-1-3 Optical Window

Introduction:
The Gasonics AWO-1-3 is an optical viewport assembly with a specific dimension (likely 1.3 inches or a corresponding flange code). It bridges the gap between the smallest and medium-sized viewports, offering a balance of optical access and mechanical robustness.

Technical Specifications:

  • Optical Element: Fused Quartz
  • Clear Aperture: Specific to AWO-1-3 (e.g., 1.375 inches)

Detailed content

  • Transmission: >90% in visible spectrum
  • Vacuum Level: UHV compatible (< 1 x 10^-9 Torr)
  • Flange Type: ISO-K or Custom Bolt Circle
  • Pressure: Atmospheric differential
  • Outgassing: Low outgassing elastomers or metal seals

Functional Features:

  • Optical Clarity: High-quality polish for distortion-free viewing.
  • Mechanical Strength: Sufficient thickness to withstand pressure differentials and handling.
  • Chemical Inertness: Resistant to plasma etching and chemical byproducts.
  • Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward mounting on chamber walls.

Application Scenarios:

  • Process Monitoring: Standard viewing port on etch and deposition chambers.
  • Diagnostic Access: Housing for optical emission spectroscopy fibers.
  • Chamber Cleaning Verification: Visual check for residue after dry clean cycles.
  • Safety Observation: Monitoring for abnormal arcing or sparks.
