What Does UHV Stand For?
UHV stands for Ultra High Vacuum
UHV, or Ultra High Vacuum, refers to a pressure range in vacuum technology that is significantly lower than standard vacuum levels, generally defined as pressures below 10^-9 torr. This environment is crucial for various scientific and industrial applications, including semiconductor fabrication, surface science, and materials research, as it minimizes gas interference and contamination, allowing for precise experiments and high-quality results. UHV systems are characterized by advanced pumping technologies and specialized components to achieve and maintain these extreme conditions.
