Nanofab Sputtering System #4
Overview
This system is the fourth generation of five-target sputtering machines built in-house. It features five 5" targets in a sideways sputtering configuration with up to five substrates mounted on a water-cooled table with programmable positioning. Pumpdown is operator controlled via a switch panel. Substrates may be 1", 2" or 3" wafers. A wide variety of materials can be deposited using RF or DC Magnetron sputtering, and a separate power supply provides power to the substrate table for bias sputtering or sputter etch. Argon is the standard sputtering gas, while nitrogen and oxygen are available as secondary gases for reactive sputtering. Please discuss your project with the Nanofab Director to find out which sputtering system(s) would best suit your work.
