Recommended vacuum and pressure measurement products for semiconductor applications:


SMARTPIRANI™ transducer, an ultra-wide range Pirani transducer

Pirani vacuum gauges are used in many semiconductor applications. The SmartPirani™ transducer offers improved measurement performance compared to traditional convection Pirani, wire Pirani and MEMS Pirani transducers. The extended measurement range enables use in a pressure region where cold and hot cathode vacuum gauges are commonly used.   

The SmartPirani™ is available with a user-cleanable integrated particulate baffle system specially designed for PVD applications. The innovative baffle feature can increase time between service intervals and increase equipment up-time.

SmartPirani™ is available with pre-configured settings according to customer specifications that reduce installation time for OEM semiconductor equipment manufacturers. 


  • Measurement range 1.0x10-6 to 1333 mbar (7.5x10-7 to 1000 Torr)
  • StableZero™ technology offers unmatched stability of zero-point and extended measurement range
  • Reliable and high performance UL listed, CSA recognized, and EN/IEC 60950-1compliant solid-state relays for setpoint controlling 
  • Compact and robust stainless steel design with optional baffle protection
  • Plug-and-play compatible with other vendors of MEMS Pirani, wire Pirani and cold cathode products


Ceramic and stainless steel diaphragm vacuum & pressure transducers

The corrosion resistant pressure transducer and transmitter product portfolio from Sens4 offers gas independent vacuum and pressure measurement. Capacitance manometers with Ceramic or Inconel diaphragm are often used in the semiconductor industry for vacuum and high-pressure measurement. The diaphragm based transducers from Sens4 can in some applications be a cost-attractive alternative to unheated Capacitance manometers.

  • Vacuum and high-pressure measurement up to 50 bar
  • Corrosion resistant stainless steel and ceramic diaphragm sensor technology
  • Absolute and gauge pressure measurement
  • Reliable solid-state relays for setpoints controlling
  • Compact and robust stainless steel design with IP67 enclosure.
  • Cost-attractive alternative to traditional Inconel and ceramic capacitance manometers and transducers used in Semi-conductor industry.
