Titanium sublimation pumps (TSPs) are typically used as an<br />

effective way to pump getterable gases such as hydrogen and<br />

nitrogen in UHV systems. TSPs are often combined with ion<br />

pumping, since the ion pump is effective with non-getterable<br />

UHV gases such as argon and methane. The TSP can be added<br />

to the inside of the ion pump, or as a separate pumping unit.<br />

If the TSP is used in conjunction with a liquid nitrogen-cooled<br />

cryopanel, extra high water pumping speed will be achieved.<br />

<strong>Varian</strong> offers two different types of titanium sublimation<br />

pumps: filament and titanium ball sources. Filament-type TSP<br />

sources are most popular with UHV systems since they can be<br />

turned off between sublimations and thus do not add<br />

thermally-induced outgassing. The ball-type sources contain<br />

larger amounts of titanium which means longer life when<br />

operated under conditions that use more titanium, such as<br />

higher operating pressures. However, the ball sources require<br />

standby power between sublimations to prevent cracks from<br />

forming in the titanium ball.<br />

The factors affecting titanium sublimation pumping<br />

efficiency include sublimation rate, frequency, surface area,<br />

and temperature. Sublimation pumping speed is generally a<br />

constant value below 10 -7 mbar.<br />

TSP Cartridge Filament Source<br />

The popular TSP cartridge is provided on a 2 3 ⁄ 4 ” OD ConFlat®<br />

flange and contains three titanium-molybdenum filaments,<br />

each with 1.1 grams of usable titanium. The cartridge<br />

assembly is bakeable to 400° C. Maximum sublimation is<br />

achieved at 300 watts of source power.<br />
