Mass analyzers are systems designed to identify and measure materials according to their molecular weights. The technique has been adapted for many other applications ranging from physics research and the identification of complex molecular structure to assuring the integrity of the fuel systems on the space shuttle and routine helium leak detection. While the uses of mass analyzers in the microelectronics industry include some exotic applications, such as SIMS, the greatest number of systems are used for various types of gas analysis. Applications for mass analyzers include process monitoring, process engineering and control in such areas as evaporation, MBE, sputter etch and deposition, plasma etch and deposition, ion, implantation, LPCVD, CVD, and diffusion furnaces. Another important application is high purity gas certification and electronic gas mixture verification.  2, record 7, English, - mass%20analyser

Micromanipulators are devices for positioning and manipulating microminiature objects such as surgical tools, electrical probes, and fiber optics. To see and contact microminiature objects, micromanipulators must be used in conjunction with microvisualization equipment(high-magnification microscopes). In the field of microelectronics, very-high-resolution optical microscopy is combined with mechanical micromanipulators to provide systems capable of visualizing and positioning electrical probes on elements of 1 micron dimension. Optical components with resolution approaching the limits of visible light(1000X) are used with manipulators of the leadscrew, ball-joint design, and 100-thread-per-inch resolution to provide X-, Y-, and Z-axis positioning sensitivity of about 0. 7 microns per degree. Micromanipulator systems may be used to perform a broad range of functions including electrical microprobing of integrated circuits(ICs).  2, record 11, English, - micromanipulator

Lapping and polishing machines are used in microelectronics work for grinding and polishing such products as semiconductor blanks in order to obtain precise thicknesses or extremely smooth, flat, polished surfaces. The machines are designed for maximum resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. Some are fitted with hoods to reduce atmospheric contamination of the plate and sample during polishing. Lapping and polishing machines can be DC electric motor driven for variable lapping plate speed. Some units are capable of a speed range of 0 to 70 rpm.  1, record 12, English, - lapping%20and%20polishing%20machine
