The K650X Large Sample Coater with Triple Head Sputtering

There are three magnetron target assemblies in the K650X, positioned to give coating over a large diameter which, together with a rotating sample table, K650X Sputter Coater | Image Pop Upensures even depositions. This method allows standard targets to be utilised, and avoids the necessity of special large profiled targets.

This triple sputter target system is particularly useful in the Semiconductor Wafer Industry.

The magnetron target assemblies employed on this system enhance the efficiency of the process using low voltages, and giving a fine grain, cool sputtering, without the need to cool the target or the specimen stage.

The Instrument is fitted with three 60mm diameter and 0.1mm thick gold (or Customer choice) quick change targets, giving optimum consumable cost performance.

The integrated instrument panel and plug-in electronics, maximise 'up-time' and, with user friendly designs, ensure satisfactory multi-user discipline.

The sputtering parameters can be pre-set, including the gas bleed needle valve which has electromagnetic valve back-up which, together with automatic control, gives defined and repeatable film thickness depositions.

The sputtering head is interlocked, and the system can easily accommodate the K250 Carbon Coating Attachment.

The independent vacuum pump is controlled by the instrument throughout the fully automatic coating cycle.

K650XT Turbo Unit is as detailed above but has turbo pumping at 60L/Second for a higher & cleaner vacuum.
