6.1.1.1  Hex Block Process Connections
6.1.2  Calibration Option
A single source of gas mixture will accomplish two calibration functions: 
 Mass scale calibration
 Partial pressure reference levels
NOTE: Selection of the appropriate gas mixture components is dictated by the 
mass range desired. 
Test Mix 1 composition is listed in Table 6-2. The method of delivery is a flow 
reference with a remote on/off valve (V5). The gas flow rate is calibrated at the 
factory and is kept small (typically 1x10
-4
 Torr-L/s) by a sintered leak. Flow through 
the leak element is viscous, therefore the gas composition in the reservoir is not 
altered by sampling. The pumping system does not allow other valves to be opened 
with the calibration reference to ensure that no calibration mix enters the tool. 
NOTE: Refer to the software operating manual for more information regarding 
Mass Tuning. Results using FabGuard Explorer or FabGuard with this 
calibration mixture may be different than shown above due to the 
programming of the ionization probability and material factors.
