MiniLab 125 Modular PVD System
Optimised for multi-technique applications, a modular magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporation PVD system for substrates up to 11″ diameter.
Deposition sources are typically mounted on the chamber baseplate, but sputter-down configurations are also available.
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.
