Temperature measurement for hydrofluoric acid production
Application Report 112 Application: Production of hydrofluoric acid for the semiconductor industry Temperature measurement for hydrofluoric acid production The GA 2600 clamp-on resistance thermometer with replaceable Pt 100 sensor The semiconductor industry employs an etching process using hydrofluoric acid (HF) to create the minute conductive pathways or ‘traces’ on printed circuit boards (PCBs). This acid is corrosive to most metals, exce
