I am chronically failing RGA (residual gas analysis) despite several hours
of vacuum bake. I vaguely remember from my sputtering days that vacuum
alone is not the best way to remove moisture - vacuum dep. machines use a
"nitrogen trap".
Does anyone know of better ways than vac. bake to remove H2O from PCB
assemblies which will later be hermetically sealed and tested for RGA?
