    • Alternatively, a kit of core components can be offered for skilled users interested in building their own system.
    • This general system type enables growth of nanocrystalline. polycrystalline, or single crystal diamond (SCD) depending on configuration and operating conditions.
    • 1.5kW to 5kW microwave power input.
    • 3 stage options: Cooled, Heated, or Thermally Floating.
    • Integration with computer controls is strongly recommended.
    • Chamber designs vary by vintage, but can be confirmed at the time of quotation.
    • Please note that the chamber shown in the attached image is a new chamber.  The most typical configuration involves the use of a used, professionally-refurbished double-jacked, water cooled chamber of the same general AX5000 design.

Buying Guide

Deposition Equipment Buying Guide

Choosing the right deposition equipment ensures optimal performance in semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Consider these factors when selecting surplus deposition systems:

  • Verify the condition and functionality of E-Beam systems via operational logs and calibration history.
  • Check compatibility with existing vacuum setups to ensure seamless integration.
  • Examine the type and size of crucibles to match your material deposition needs.
  • Review documentation and manuals for precise configuration and operation guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an E-Beam Evaporator?
An E-Beam Evaporator uses electron beams to vaporize material, forming a thin film on substrates.
How do graphite crucibles function in deposition systems?
Graphite crucibles hold materials to be evaporated in deposition systems due to their heat resistance and durability.
What role does a sweep control play in deposition equipment?
Sweep control assists in the accurate positioning and movement of the electron beam over the target material to ensure uniform film deposition.
What is a magnetron sputtering cathode used for?
Magnetron sputtering cathodes are used to deposit thin layers of material onto substrates by sputtering target material.
