Bake-Out

Bake-out refers to the process of heating components of a vacuum device to release absorbed gases or contaminants that may affect the device’s performance. This heating is typically done under vacuum conditions to ensure that the released gases can be evacuated from the system effectively. The purpose of bake-out is to achieve and maintain a high vacuum level within the device, which is crucial for its proper functioning, especially in applications such as vacuum chambers, particle accelerators, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
