Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and a method provide a modular design for a particle monitor of external design used in a vacuum process equipment. In one embodiment, the key elements, i.e. laser assembly, the detection module, the beam stop and a darkened surface opposite the detection module, can be independently mounted on a pump line. The particle monitors of the present invention can be mounted on both straight sections and bends of the pump line. Each key element can be accessed independently of other key elements for repair and service.
