PVD PLD/MBE 2300 with high pressure RHEED capabilities

  • A duel position load lock minimizes pump down times  to ~15 minutes between depositions.
  • The target-to-substrate separation is adjustable between 50 mm and 100 mm
  • RHEED capabilities allow the characterization of film growth. Two-stage differential pumping permits the RHEED to be used up to 200 mTorr pressure
  • An inductively coupled 13.65MHz RF generator can   be used to create a plasma in the vicinity of the substrate    for either in situ pre-cleaning of the substrate for plasma assisted deposition
  • Both oxygen and nitrogen are currently available for plasma processing and deposition
