Total Pressure Measurement
Total pressure instruments – Made by VACOM®
As our partners you can benefit from our long-term experience. Our well established product line is distinguished through its high accu-racy, robustness, safety, quality, and long life-time as well as through its user-friendliness in various industrial and research processes.
We are happy to customize our devices according to your specific requirements.
In general, it is essential to decide if an active (also called transmitter) or a passive one should be used. The transmitter is a gauge with integrated measuring and control electronics. It provides standardized analog voltage (e.g. 0…10 V), current (e.g. 4…20 mA) or digital output signals (e.g., via RS232, Profibus DP). BARION® atm II is one example of transmitters. A passive gauge consists only of one sensor head. The power supply and data processing is provided by an external controller. The advantage of using a passive sensor is the possibility to use higher operating temperatures in applications, where bake-outs cannot be avoided. BARION® pro II is an example of the passive gauge.
An exact definition of the measured value is important since most gauges measure the absolute pressure. These sensor suit well in applications and processes dependent on the ambient pressure such as valves opening only when there is no pressure gradient.

Hot Cathode Ionization Vacuum Gauges
With decreasing absolute pressure levels it is difficult to measure the pressure as force per area unit. The force differences become so small that they are no longer resolvable. A very practical but indirect method of measuring high vacuum is the "counting" of gas particles. Thus, the particle number density n (gas density) is determined, which is proportional to the gas pressure p according to the relation p=nkT.
The idea is to ionize the gas, since ions can be easily detected with a collector electrode. Therefore, electrons are accelerated to cause collision ionizations. This is possible in a wide pressure range from medium up to extreme high vacuum, where the particles have a sufficiently high mean free path. Regarding the generation of ions, there are two different types of ionization vacuum gauges:
Hot cathode: Thermal emission from a hot cathode generates electrons. Those leave the filament because their thermal energy ishigher than the characteristic work function of the filament material (or coating).
Alternative method: Gas discharge in a cold cathode, see section cold cathode ionization vacuum gauges.
The electron emission from the cathode is restricted to a constant current Ie, e.g. 1 mA. The cathode is brought to a temperature of 1500° C releasing several watt of electrical power in form of heat. This heat causes electrons to leave the metal. The electrons accele-rate to an anode grid where most electrons pass through and ionize the gas inside the grid (Fig. 2). The ions are directed towards the collector and neutralized there. The neutralization generates a current Ic, which can be measured. The collector current is proportional to the particle number density, hence to the pressure (Fig. 3). The fundamental equation for hot cathode gauges is
p = Ic / (Ie x S)
with S describing the sensitivity of the gauge (i.e. the ion detection rate). It has to be taken into account that the sensitivity depends on the gas composition as well, due to the different ionization probabilities for different chemical species.

Hot Cathode Ionization Vacuum Gauges
The pressure range of a hot cathode, where the pressure is proportional to the collector current, is limited. Depending on the design of the gauge the upper limit varies between 0.1 mbar and 10-4 mbar (Fig. 3). This constraint is imposed by space-charge effects and a small mean free path of the electrons. The lower limit ranges between 10-8 mbar and 10-13 mbar, since the collector current contains a residual component which cannot be totally eliminated. The residual current sums up the contribution from various effects (Fig. 4). The so called x-ray limit is generally used as a synonym for the residual current in hot-cathode pressure gauges (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3: Physical effects in a hot cathode (schematic, plan view with cylindrical anode grid)
Physical Effects, Limiting Factors
Contributions to the collector current:
Measurement 1. Gas phase ion current. (The current is proportional to
the particle-number density, hence to the pressure.)
Error effects (not proportional to pressure)2. X-ray effect
(Bremsstrahlung from an electron impact on the anodewith following photoemission at the collector)
3. Electron stimulated desorption (ESD) from particles atthe anode (local pressure increase)
4. Outgassing of heated sensor parts(local pressure increase)
5. Inverse x-ray effect(Bremsstrahlung generated by electron bombardmentof the anode; following photoemission of electrons fromthe outer wall; electron absorption at the collector, i.e.inverse to the x-ray effect)
Hot cathode gauges are available in various designs (see below). They offer high stability, accuracy, and reproducibility. However, the sensitivity is influenced by several factors:
their changes which affect the electron trajectories (e.g. external magnetic fields, geometrical changes of the electrodes or thesurrounding wall – especially for nude gauges);
contamination of electrodes, e.g. by material from the vacuum system
gas type (specific ionization probabilities can be considered with a gas type correction factor).
The lower range of hot cathode gauges is limited by the residual current. Therefore, the measurement has an increasingly large uncertainty if the pressure is smaller than 3 to 4 times the x-ray limit (Fig. 3).
The life time of the hot cathode gauge is usually limited by the contamination from the vacuum system or by the depletion of the filament coating layer. For coating applications it is recommended to use a baffle in order to slow down the contamination process. Under harsh industrial conditions (e.g. sputtering processes at relatively high pressures), problematic glow discharges or electric flashovers between the electrodes can occur. In those cases, grids or baffles help to protect the sensor from charge carriers and electromagnetic fields.
The established iridium-cathodes with yttrium oxide coating are stable in oxygen environments (air intrusion) and demonstrate a very high life time. Most hot cathode gauges have a second cathode, in case the first one breaks down.

Cold Cathode Ionization Vacuum Gauges
Determination of the particle-number density of a gas through gas discharge
In a cold cathode, the gas is ionized by collisions with electrons in the measurement volume, moving in crossed electric and magnetic fields in spiral paths. If a high voltage potential is applied between cathode and anode, all charged particles are accelerated towards the the corresponding electrode. During this process, other molecules can be ionized through inelastic collisions and secondary electrons can be generated. The accelerated particles initiate the gas discharge. The ionization of the residual gas is mainly achieved via electron ionization. Therefore, it is important to preserve those electrons in order to increase the ionization probability and to assure the discharge as long as possible, especially at low pressures. This is achieved with the additional external magnetic field.
As shown in figure 8, a Penning cell contains two parallel cathodes with a ring anode between them. A strong permanent magnet encloses the cell. The magnetic field lines point perpendicular to the electric field vector and have typical strength of 100 up to 200 mT. The voltage difference between the cathodes and the anode is around 2 kV. In this configuration the potential energy surface reaches a saddle point in the middle of the anode ring, where all electrostatic forces are nearly cancelled out. Electrons are emitted from the cathode and accelerate towards the ring anode. As soon as one component of the velocity vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the Lorentz force holds the electron on a spiral trajectory inside the anode, where the ionization occurs.
Fig. 8: Schematic sketch of a cold cathode gauge (Penning type).
Cathodes
Anode ringS
N
Positive charged ions follow the electric field to the cathode. The impact of the ions generates a discharge current that can be measured. Ions are influenced by the magnetic field only slightly because of their high mass as compared to electrons. The correlation between the pressure and the discharge current is described by p=const·Im, where m varies between 1 and 1.4 depending on the design of the gauge. Hence, the discharge current is proportional to the pressure over a wide range. The ionization energy and the ionization probability are typically different for different atoms and molecules. Therefore, pressure measurement with cold cathodes is gas-type dependent.
Typically, cold cathodes are used for pressure ranges below 10-3 mbar. Starting with this pressure the mean free path length is sufficient to keep the recombination probability low and the power needed for their operation reasonable. The lower pressure limit is given by the smallest detectable ion current, which is typically reached if the pressure drops to 10-11 mbar. Another physical bound-ary is the ceasing of the plasma-discharge in the cell, which can be to some extent prevented by improving the sensor geometry. Another type of cold-cathode ionization vacuum gauges, are magnetrons or inverted magnetrons. For more detailed descriptions of their principle the reader is referred to the literature, however, the physical principle of their operation is similar to the Penning cell.

Heat Loss Vacuum Gauges
Use the pressure-dependent heat transfer properties of the gas for the pressure measurement
Heat conduction is another characteristic feature of gases which is closely related to the particle density. The thermal energy is transferred by molecule collisions. The efficiency of the transfer depends on the mean free path length of the particles. At a certain pressure range, the thermal conductivity is proportional to the pressure, but disturbing effects such as heat flow, thermal radiation, heat conduction from the contacts, etc. are to be expected.
Fig. 10: Cut through a Pirani vacuum gauge
The basic concept of a Pirani vacuum gauge relies on a thin wire (Fig. 10) heated to a constant temperature, which is significantly higher than the temperature of the surrounding gas in the vacuum. The wire (typical diameter: 5 - 25 µm; length between 50 and 100 mm) transfers the heat to the gas and is simultaneously part of an electrical circuit, for example of a Wheatstone bridge. The pressure dependent temperature can be derived from the monitored wire resistance. The actual parameter (the electric power that is required for the temperature stabilization) is pressure-dependent due to the proportionality of the thermal conductivity of a gas to the pressure.
With a Wheatstone bridge, which is used for temperature stabilization, the difference between the heater voltage and a defined reference voltage can be measured at the same time. The difference between the actual and the reference voltage is adjusted to zero at a pressure value, where heat conduction does not play a role anymore. This calibration mainly eliminates the unwanted effects of heat radiation and thermal conduction at connector pins of the wire. In general, the reference voltage corresponds with the heating voltage that has to be applied when the pressure in the system is far below the lower measuring limit.
Advantages of the Pirani vacuum gauge are the wide measuring range from 10-4 mbar up to atmospheric pressure, as well as the high accuracy of ±10 % in a range below 1 mbar.

Heat Loss Vacuum Gauges
Since the thermal conductivity of a gas is also a function of the average speed of the molecules and thus a function of the molar mass of the gas, thermal conductivity vacuum gauges measure the pressure dependent on the gas type. Therefore, the display is usually calibrated for nitrogen and air. Other gases like argon or helium will lead to a pressure reading significantly different from the real pressure (Fig. 11). For example, chamber venting with argon can generate a slight overpressure in the chamber which cannot be displayed by a Pirani gauge.
Fig. 11: Pressure display of a Pirani vacuum gauge with various gas types.
Furthermore, it is essential to ensure the installation of the vacuum gauge in the correct mounting position and to follow the manufacturer's instructions. The reason for this is that in pressure ranges is 10 mbar gas convection increases and the movement is influenced by gravitational forces. Figure 12 schematically shows the displayed pressure for different installation positions of the Pirani sensor. Improvements in accuracy in the range of 500-1300 mbar are obtained with convection Pirani sensors in which the housing wall temperature is also measured in a similar way as the Pirani filament. This compensates not only the variations in the heat loss caused by varying conditions; it also improves the accuracy up to 2 % via the regulation of the convection and the defined mounting position.
Fig. 12: The influence of the mounting position on the measuring signal in the convection range
Low-priced versions of heat-loss vacuum gauges are thermocouples. Those heat the wire with a constant power and determine its temperature. An advantage of this setup is the simple design. However, thermocouples are limited in their measuring range and their accuracy.

Capacitance Diaphragm Gauges
Capacitively determine the deflection of an elastic membrane
Diaphragm vacuum gauges are particularly suitable for gas type independent pressure measurements from atmosphere up to high vacuum. They measure the elastic deformation (Δs) of a membrane, which is a result of different forces acting on different sides of the membrane (Fig. 13).
Fig. 13: Principle of a capacitance diaphragm vacuum gauge. The recipient has the pressure p1.
The capacitance diaphragm vacuum gauge measures the relative pressure. A reference volume in the gauge is evacuated to a defined value p2, p2 being much smaller than the smallest pressure that has to be measured in the recipient p1. Thus, a total pressure measurement takes place with a negligible error, given by the residual pressure p2.
In the capacitance diaphragm vacuum gauge the pressure sensible membrane acts as one of the electrodes of a capacitor. The deformation (Δs) as a function of the pressure difference causes a change in its capacity, which can be directly and accurately mea-sured. The membranes are manufactured either out of stainless steel with a small thermal expansion coefficient or out of metal coated ceramics. In practice, ceramic based membranes have proven to be less sensitive to thermal temperature fluctuations and zero point stable due to improved relaxivity. Furthermore, they offer improved corrosion resistance and can be used under harsh conditions. The membrane should be insensitive to length changes triggered by temperature variations, since this could affect the measurement. The thickness of the membrane is a crucial factor determining the smallest measurable pressure. Typically, a membrane with a given thickness can cover a pressure range of approximately 4 decades.
The accuracy can be improved by temperature-stabilized sensors that are regulated at 45° C constantly. Thus, the influence of the tem-perature on the measurement results is minimized. The advantage of the capacitance diaphragm vacuum gauge is the independence on the gas type, a high accuracy (typically 0.2 % of the measured value) as well as the resistance against corrosive gases.

Relative Pressure Gauges
Determination of the deformation of an elastic tube
Pressure is the force, acting on unit area. In many cases, applying a force leads to a deformation of the object under study. The resulting deformation can be measured and is proportional to the applied force (Hooke's law). Hence, the deformation can be used to determine the pressure. This deformation is especially significant in the upper pressure range (up to atmosphere conditions).
In the simplest case (e.g. Bourdon gauge), the deformation of a metal ring is directly displayed on a stamped scale. This type of gauge measures the relative pressure (relative to the atmospheric pressure). Thus, the upper limit of the scale corresponds to 1000 mbar. Taking this value as the absolute pressure would yield in a high systematic error due to oscillation of the atmospheric pressure.
Fig. 14: Bourdon gauge. The mechanical deformation of a metal ring is directly transferred to a scale via a lever system
Piezo-resistive determination of the deflection of an elastic membrane
Piezo-resistive diaphragm vacuum gauges can achieve higher accuracy than Bourdon gauges. They work similar to the ca-pacitive diaphragm vacuum gauges: the pressure is derived from the mechanical deformation of a membrane measured with a piezo-resistive element. The specific resistivity of the piezo element depends on the deflection of the membrane and thus it provides information about the pressure difference on both sides of the membrane. The accuracy of the pressure determination is typically around 0.5 % FS, i.e. the useable measurement range is about 3 decades.
Regular piezo-resistive diaphragm vacuum gauges have a full scale deflection between 1300 and 1500 mbar (slightly above atmospheric pressure). The long-term and temperature stability as well as the resolution are slightly lower than the ones of capacitive diaphragm vacuum gauges. However, piezo-resistive diaphragm vacuum gauges are considerably cheaper.
