What Does TMP Stand For?
TMP stands for Turbomolecular Pump
TMP, or Turbomolecular Pump, is a type of high-speed vacuum pump that operates by using rapidly rotating blades to create a significant pressure difference and effectively evacuate gases. It is commonly used in applications requiring ultra-high vacuum conditions, such as in semiconductor manufacturing, molecular beam epitaxy, and various scientific research fields. The TMP delivers low ultimate pressures and high pumping speeds, making it essential for maintaining vacuum integrity in sensitive processes. Its design enables efficient gas compression and minimal contamination, contributing to improved performance in advanced vacuum systems.
