The Importance of Measuring Oxygen Content in the Semiconductor Industry

During the encapsulation and sintering processes of semiconductor materials, trace amounts of oxygen in the environment can lead to multiple adverse effects:

  • Oxidative pollution In high-temperature processes, trace amounts of oxygen can cause oxidation on the surface of semiconductor materials, leading to the formation of defect layers that impair the electrical performance and reliability of devices.
  • Sintering furnace atmosphere control: The sintering process must be carried out in a protective atmosphere (such as nitrogen or hydrogen), and precise control of oxygen content is crucial for ensuring sintering quality and improving product consistency.
  • Improving product yield: By continuously monitoring the oxygen content in the process atmosphere, abnormalities can be detected promptly, preventing the generation of batch defects and ultimately reducing production costs.

Therefore, real-time and precise monitoring of oxygen levels in the process environment is an indispensable component for achieving advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
