Hi all,

In 2014, I replaced my SiLi EDS detector with an SSD detector with an ultra-thin polymer window.

My detector failed and the manufacturer says it was due to loss of vacuum and named the probable source as micro-tears in the window  Large tears or holes were not visible.



Has anyone experienced this?

If so,  did you find a cause for the micro-tears?

Did you come up with a corrective action to avoid damaging it again?



Thank you.



Best Regards,

Andy
