Vibration Criteria Curves, or VC-Curves, are a standard way to report vibration. They are helpful because they allow users to compare vibration levels across locations using a standardized, widely accepted format. However, electron microscopes

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is a national laboratory located in Berkeley, CA, with a focus on bringing together multidisciplinary teams of researchers to advance scientific discovery.

Low-frequency and high-frequency vibration both have a significant impact on electron microscopy laboratories and high-tech manufacturing facilities. These two types of vibration stem from different causes and the strategy for mitigating vibration for each is also different

When purchasing or moving a new electron microscope or process tool, customers have a few options when it comes to deciding who should provide their site survey. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) will often offer the survey, and organizations sometimes attempt to conduct the survey themselves in-house. In this post,

A VEC site evaluation for an architectural firm helped make a challenging space work for vibration sensitive semiconductor tools for a new manufacturing program.

A growing semiconductor company in the USA is evaluating a new location for its cleanroom space. The company wants to ensure that magnetic fields, acoustic noise, and vibration levels will be suitable for their sensitive tools
