    Abstract: An ionization gauge to measure pressure, while controlling the location of deposits resulting from sputtering when operating at high pressure, includes at least one electron source that emits electrons, and an anode that defines an ionization volume. The ionization gauge also includes a collector electrode that collects ions formed by collisions between the electrons and gas molecules and atoms in the ionization volume, to provide a gas pressure output. The electron source can be positioned at an end of the ionization volume, such that the exposure of the electron source to atom flux sputtered off the collector electrode and envelope surface is minimized. Alternatively, the ionization gauge can include a first shade outside of the ionization volume, the first shade being located between the electron source and the collector electrode, and, optionally, a second shade between the envelope and the electron source, such that atoms sputtered off the envelope are inhibited from depositing on the electron source.

    Abstract: The PID includes an ultraviolet lamp for transmitting UV light through an optical window into an ionization chamber to ionize volatile gases. The UV lamp comprises a sealed envelope containing inert gases and a pair of driving electrodes disposed outside the sealed envelope to induce a glow discharge of the inert gases. An ion detector is disposed in the ionization chamber to detect the produced ions.
    During operation of the PID, the effectiveness decreases due to contamination formed in the ionization chamber. To remove the contamination, the pump is turned off while maintaining the transmission of the UV lamp. Thus the UV light creates an ozone discharge which accumulates in the ionization chamber. Ozone is a strong oxidant which etches and removes the contamination from the ionization chamber.
