What Does XHV Stand For?

XHV stands for Extremely High Vacuum

XHV, or Extremely High Vacuum, refers to a state of vacuum where the pressure is reduced to extremely low levels, typically below 10^-9 torr. This environment is essential for various scientific and industrial applications, including semiconductor fabrication, surface science, and particle physics experiments. XHV conditions minimize the presence of contaminants and facilitate precise measurements and reactions in controlled settings.
