VE-160 PVD Coating System |
|
This thin film tool has a wide range of uses, including solar, optical, battery, fuel cell, semiconductor, and nanotechnology applications. It is ideal for laboratories, university instruction, research & development, prototyping, and production. With a small footprint, it is compatible with cleanroom operation and maintenance. Features ■ Multiple sources all available in the same chamber: • e-Gun electron beam evaporation • Sputtering • Resistive deposition ■ Sources and utilities mounted on a single flange for simple swap and maintenance. ■ Source-to-substrate distance up to 24”, ideal for high-uniformity and liftoff processes. ■ PC Control System ■ Less than 15 minutes from atmosphere to process pressure of 10e-6 Torr. ■ Modular, expandable design with choice of “standard options.” ■ Easy access through 20” X 19” door to large 16” X 16” X 35” work space. |
