E-beam Evaporator - Manufacturer:
Denton Vacuum U.S.A. - Operating Instructions
Description
The Denton Explorer® 14 e-beam evaporator is a customized system equipped with an elongated chamber for increased film uniformity. The system has a PID temperature control system, providing the ability to heat and control process temperatures. The system has a water-cooled, flux shield / aperture plate that can be used to minimize substrate heating and film migration. Endpoint detection is implemented through the Inficon XTC/2 quartz crystal rate controller interfaced to programmable logic controller.
In addition, the Denton has a Physik Instrumente (PI) E-710 digital piezo controller installed. It is designed for NanoPositioning applications and its associated three-axis flexure stage is capable of sub-nanometer positioning, which allows research in fields such as litho-free patterning.
Film types available: Al, Al2O3, Ge, Ni, SiO2, W, Hf, Ti, Cr, Si, Mo, and p-doped Si.
