SPUTTER COATERS / VACUUM COATING SYSTEMS - High Vacuum, Triple Magnetron Target Desk Sputter Coater with Thermal Evaporator-DST3-TA/S
High Vacuum, Triple Magnetron Target Desk Sputter Coater with Thermal Evaporator-DST3-TA/S
The High Vacuum, Triple Magnetron Target Desk Sputter Coater with Thermal Evaporator-DST3-TA/S, Triple Target Turbo Pumped Sputter Coater, is a versatile multi-vacuum coater system that combines both thermal evaporation and sputter coating capabilities within a single compact desktop unit. This high vacuum system is well-suited for depositing a wide range of materials. The triple magnetron target desk sputter coater can easily switch between evaporation and sputtering modes, although it cannot perform both simultaneously.
The DST3-T, Magnetron Desk Sputter Coater, boasts a large chamber with a 300 mm diameter and is equipped with three 2” diameter water-cooled cathodes. This design allows for extended deposition times when needed. The magnetron desk sputter coater is outfitted with both RF and DC power supplies, enabling it to sputter various materials, including semiconductors, dielectrics, and both oxidizing and noble metals.
To enhance the adhesion of thin films to the substrate and improve film quality, there is an optional feature to apply a 300 V DC bias voltage to the substrate. Additionally, the sputter coater system includes an auto-adjustable matching box, which helps minimize reflected power during the RF sputtering process.
According to state of the cathodes, DST3-T is available in two models:
DST3 – TA (Angled Cathodes):
The DST3-TA features three angled cathodes that share a common focal point. This sputter coater system has the capability to simultaneously or independently sputter from two or three (optional) targets. This flexibility allows for the deposition of alloys or multilayer coatings, depending on the specific requirements. In this model, the maximum size of substrates that can be accommodated is up to 3 inches in diameter.
DST3 –TS (Straight Cathodes):
DST3-TS with three straight 2 inches water-cooled cathodes is suitable for sputtering a single large specimen with diameter up to 20 cm or several small specimens.
Thermal Evaporation of Triple Target Turbo Pumped Sputter Coater
The DST3-T is equipped with a robust high-current power supply and a low-voltage, resistive thermal evaporation platform that's suitable for a wide range of thermal evaporation applications. This sputter coating system allows precise thermal evaporation of various materials onto a substrate. You can easily mount different types of thermal evaporation sources, such as boats, baskets, and coils, on a single holder for added flexibility.
Touch Screen Control
The Triple Target Turbomolecular Pumped Sputter Coater comes with a user-friendly 7-inch colored touch screen interface that offers semi-automatic control and easy data input, making it accessible even for inexperienced users. You can view vacuum and deposition data in digital form or as graphical curves on the touch screen. Additionally, information from the last 300 coatings can be conveniently stored in the history page.
Sputter Coater Sample Holder
The sample holder is designed to accommodate standard microscope slides, but it can also be customized to fit specific requirements. It features multiple clamps that securely hold small samples in place during rotation, offering a straightforward solution for sample handling.
Plasma Cleaner
The DST3-T triple target sputter coater also offers the option of a plasma cleaner. Vacuum Plasma Cleaning is a process that involves using ionized gas, known as plasma, to remove organic contaminants from a substrate's surface. This pre-cleaning step is essential before depositing a film to ensure that any contamination, such as carbon-based or oxide residues, is eliminated from the substrate's surface. This process enhances the adhesion between the substrate and subsequent layers.
Clean Vacuum of Sputter Coater
The vacuum chamber of the Sputter Coater DST3-T is made of cylindrical Pyrex with dimensions of 300 mm in outer diameter and 200 mm in height. This system is equipped with an internally mounted 90 l/s Turbomolecular Pump, which is supported by either a 1.4 m3/h diaphragm pump or a 4 m3/h two-stage Rotary Vane Pump.
