MAGNETRON SPUTTERING DEPOSITION SYSTEMS

Using all known sputtering sources including RF, DC, pulsed DC and HIPIMS power supplies, VST sputter deposition systems can be used in reactive and non-reactive modes. Sample translation and rotation can be combined with sophisticated load lock sample manipulation.The sample temperature can be controlled from room-temperature to as high as 800˚C during thin film deposition.

VST sputter deposition systems can contain up to 6 sources in a co-planar or co-sputtering sputter-up or sputter-down modes, with adjustable sputter angles and substrate to source distances. They feature customized RF biased substrate holders, with or without a load lock chamber and linear transfer mechanism. They can be fitted with Ion beam sources for pre-cleaning or ion assisted deposition. A completely automated process control system is furnished to ensure a reliable, repeatable and high-quality coating process.

Our sputtering systems may be designed to include in the same chamber additional electron-beam/thermal evaporation sources. Our systems support also sputtering and evaporation in two adjacent chambers...

MAGNETRON SPUTTERING IS AVAILABLE ON:

We obtained quite immediately excellent process results on all layers that we had planned to grow using this equipment. The equipment has been running on a daily basis, and we have so far encountered no failure, and this is explained by the fact that the components of the system are of very high quality.
