The Noble Furnace is mostly used for annealing and oxidation of different samples. Annealing can be done in a nitrogen or argon atmosphere. Recently (Autumn 2013) a bubler has also been installed in the furnace, so it is possible to do both wet and dry oxidations. The maximum temperature of the Noble furnace is 1000 <sup>o</sup>C.

Noble furnace

The Noble Furnace is mostly used for annealing and oxidation of different samples. Annealing can be done in a nitrogen or argon atmosphere. Recently (Autumn 2013) a bubler has also been installed in the furnace, so it is possible to do both wet and dry oxidations. The maximum temperature of the furnace is 1000 oC.

In the Noble Furnaces more dirty samples with metal are allowed in the furnace. Different sample holder are available for wafers and smaller samples.

The furnace is located in in service area 3.
