Small HV Feedthrough

INOVACERA’s small high-voltage feedthrough is an electrical penetration device specifically designed for high-vacuum environments, primarily used to safely and hermetically transmit high-voltage power or high-voltage electrical signals from the atmospheric side into the interior of a vacuum chamber while maintaining system vacuum integrity and insulation performance. Our feedthroughs utilize 95% alumina ceramic as the insulator, combined with high-performance metal materials such as 304 stainless steel, oxygen-free copper (OFC), and Kovar alloy, ensuring long-term stability under demanding process conditions.

Small HV Feedthrough

Small HV Feedthrough is widely used in excimer laser systems, providing a reliable high-voltage feeding solution for the discharge cavity of the laser. Excimer lasers, as important equipment in modern high-end manufacturing, play a significant role in semiconductor lithography, display panel annealing, automotive manufacturing, and optical fiber communication, among others.

FAQ

INOVACERA’s small high-voltage (HV) feedthroughs utilize 95% alumina ceramic as the primary insulator to provide high dielectric strength and temperature resistance up to 300°C. The metallic components consist of corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, highly conductive oxygen-free copper (OFC), and Kovar alloy which matches the thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic. By precision-brazing these materials, the feedthrough achieves an ultra-low helium leak rate of ≤1×10⁻¹⁰ Pa·m³/s, maintaining stable hermetic insulation under demanding high-vacuum environments.

These feedthroughs are widely integrated into high-vacuum systems, most notably within the discharge cavities of excimer laser systems. Excimer lasers are essential in high-end manufacturing for applications like semiconductor lithography, display panel LTPS annealing, and optical fiber grating. The small HV feedthrough is critical because it safely and hermetically transmits high-voltage electrical power (ranging from 1kV to 30kV) from the atmospheric side into the vacuum chamber, preventing electrical breakdown while protecting the integrity of the vacuum system.
