P376 – 2″ UHV sputter deposition IFW

Application

UHV sputter deposition system for thin film and multilayer deposition at 2″ substrates

Year of delivery

2013

Installation site

IFW, Dresden, Germany

Design Features

  • UHV magnetron sputter deposition system with confocal sputter up configuration.
  • Up to four 2″ magnetrons with manual in situ tilting.
    • All magnetrons with easy changeable magnetic system for use with ferromagentic or non-ferromagnetic target materials.
  • Fully motorized 2 axes sample manipulator with integrated sample shutter, DC Bias potential option and maximal sample temperature well above 800°C.
  • Sample wedge shutter installed at chamber wall.
  • Integrated bake out system.

Special Features

  • Adding of moveable thickness monitor for sputter rate measurement before starting a deposition process possible.
  • Adding of load lock chamber with heating lamp option possible.
  • Adding of residual gas analyser system possible
  • System is prepared to be added to a cluster tool via second transfer port at the sputtering chamber.
