Hiden Analytical

Hiden Analytical designs and manufactures quadrupole mass spectrometers and plasma diagnostic instruments at its headquarters on Europa Boulevard in Warrington, Cheshire. For the semiconductor industry, its instruments are used for residual-gas analysis, process-gas monitoring, plasma characterisation and etch-endpoint detection across processes including atomic layer deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapour deposition and plasma etching. The product range extends to secondary-ion mass spectrometry surface analysers and Langmuir probes for plasma diagnostics. These tools support contamination control and process understanding in both semiconductor research and production environments. Founded in 1981, the company remains based in Warrington, where it designs, builds and supports its instruments for customers worldwide.
