I did a little research before I bought this book. It turns out that it paid off – this is a great book for vacuum technology. As a designer of UHV semiconductor equipment, I would highly recommend this text. I bought one more book on the subject at the same time – this one is the better overall choice for complete coverage.
I am still looking for a reference that has tips and trick of the trade – but there is enough info in this book to point you in the right direction.
I found the handbook a great reference to all types of vacuum systems. I especially liked information regarding building materials used in vacuum systems.
I’d recommend this book to anyone having basic vacuum knowledge and would like to see different alternatives / ways in creating vacuum.
