Detailed Description
The medium size chamber offers additional space for more sources and optional deposition tools such as substrate heating and masking. The rectangular chamber design also offers additional pump configurations such as more powerful turbo-molecular and cryo-pumps.
Uses/Applications
Thin film deposition under an inert environment
Surface coatings and functionalisation
Material layering, alloying and diffusion studies.
