Specifications

Hardware Specifications
  • Typical base pressure: <5E-9 Torr
  • All dry pumping system (cryo & scroll pumps)
  • Load-lock-equipped system with automatic wafer transfer
  • Evaporation Source: 1x single emitter, 6-pocket e-beam evaporation source
    • Pockets 1-4 allow in-situ crucible exchange through dedicated secondary load lock, allowing for crucible swap without breaking UHV chamber conditions.
  • Accepts up to 1x 150mm wafer or smaller wafers/pieces
  • Optional lift-off dome holds 4x 100mm wafers for batch processing
  • Camera for E-Beam/Crucible observation during process
  • Inficon CrystalSix(TM)
    • 6-crystal QCM with automatic crystal switching in event of crystal fail or low Q. Enables long periods of maintained UHV conditions without requiring venting to exchange crystals
  • Programmable deposition processes
