Modular PVD thin film deposition system optimised for thermal evaporation

MiniLab 080 Modular PVD System

The MiniLab080 offer tall chambers ideally suited for thermal, LTE and e-beam evaporation techniques requiring longer working distances for optimum uniformity.

The tools are ideally suited to evaporation techniques where long working distances are required for best uniformity, and where evaporant incident angles close to 90° allow for optimal results for lift-off applications. However, as well as thermal, LTE and e-beam evaporation, the tools can also be fitted for magnetron sputtering (commonly as a multi-technique system).

Substrate stages, usually at the top of the chamber, can accommodate substrate sizes up to 11” diameter. Substrate heating, rotation, bias and Z-shift are available, together with planetary stages and source and substrate shutters. Configurations range from a manually operated thermal evaporation system up to a multi-technique tool with fully-automated process control.
