EG&G PAR 1450 plasma monitor

Product Description

EG&G PAR Model 1450 Plasma Monitor – Optical Emission Spectrometer

This used EG&G PAR Model 1450 is a specialized plasma monitor designed for optical emission spectroscopy of plasma processes. EG&G Princeton Applied Research (PAR) was a legendary manufacturer of scientific instruments, particularly known for lock-in amplifiers, electrochemical equipment, and optical multichannel analyzers.

About EG&G PAR and Plasma Monitoring :

Princeton Applied Research (founded 1961, acquired by EG&G in the 1970s) was a premier supplier of research instrumentation . Their plasma monitors were used in semiconductor manufacturing, materials research, and plasma physics to analyze the optical emission from plasma processes, providing insights into etch rates, endpoint detection, and plasma chemistry.

The Model 1450 is likely an optical multichannel analyzer (OMA) or spectrometer system designed specifically for plasma monitoring applications, possibly including:

• Spectrograph: Disperses plasma emission

• Detector: Multichannel detector (diode array or CCD)

• Controller: Electronics for detector control and data acquisition

• Software: For spectral analysis and process monitoring
