Measuring H2O and HF Impurities in NF3 Gas
Nitrogen Fluoride (NF3) has several important industrial uses today, including manufacturing of semiconductor chips, flat panel displays, and solar cells. With increasing demand for LED / OLED displays, the global market for NF3 is expected to continue to soar over the next several years.
In the electronics industry, the main use for NF3 gas is for cleaning process chambers in the manufacturing of silicon chips. The benefits of using NF3 compared to other cleaning agents include safety, stability at room temperature, ease of handling, and lower greenhouse gas emissions than its predecessors.
Tiger Optics HALO product family can detect down to single-digit parts-per-billion (ppb) levels of H2O and HF in NF3, guaranteeing product purity for the end-users. The main advantages of Tiger’s CRDS over incumbent technologies like FTIR, for this application, are:
- Significantly lower gas consumption
- Excellent accuracy
- Long term stability
- Ease of use

GASES & CHEMICALS
Measuring Ammonia and Moisture in Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing for the diffusion and deposition processes, where the purity requirement for semiconductor grade N2O is typically greater than 99.999%. Due to chemical reactivity, ammonia (NH3) and moisture (H2O) are two of the most critical impurities to control in the N2O product. To ensure sufficient product purity for end-users, gas manufacturers must monitor these contaminants to ensure their concentrations are below sub parts-per-million (ppm) levels.
Tiger Optics’ HALO analyzers are the perfect solution for trace NH3 and H2O analysis in N2O product. They are ideally suited for ppb-to-ppm range measurements, with extremely fast response time (T90 < 3 minutes). The calibration-free advantage of Tiger analyzers also significantly decreases maintenance cost and total Cost-of-Ownership. Please visit our website or contact us for more information.

LABORATORY & LIFE SCIENCE
Leading Labs Turn to Tiger
Tiger Optics is a standard bearer in a growing number of national metrology institutes around the globe. Since its first sale to the Dutch VSL in May, 2001, Tiger has gained acceptance at 22 national metrology institutes. Many of the institutes use Tiger instruments as a transfer standard to calibrate their own gas standards for research and industrial use. Some institutes also employ Tiger analyzers in their research of such problems as acid rain and global warming. Prized for their proven precision, excellent repeatability, and rapid throughput, as well as their extraordinary dynamic range (four+ orders of magnitude), Tiger’s CW-CRDS analyzers serve foremost institutes in these nations.
