L : equivalent standard leak rate
V : internal volume of the device package cavity
Po : atmospheric pressure absolute
Pe : pressure of exposure absolute
t1 : time of exposure to Pₑ
t2 : dwell time between release of pressure and leak detection

Tracer gas


Tracer gas is used for pressurization and detection. It is assumed not to be part of cavity initial content.

Partial pressure of {{ Pe_gas }} forced in during pressurization = {{ D(Pt1) }} {{ Pe_unit }}
Partial pressure of {{ Pe_gas }} remaining after dwell time = {{ D(Pt2) }} {{ Pe_unit }}
