Pulsed Laser Deposition PLD (chamber 1)

The Neocera Pioneer 18 is an MBE-like pulsed laser deposition system. It is capable of fabricating epitaxial films, with thickness ranging from a few to several hundred nanometers. The system is equipped with a radiative heater capable of producing temperatures up to 850 degC. The working gas pressure is controlled via the turbo pump speed and gas flow rate, in the range of 1 to 500 mTorr.
A variety of substrates can be used. Substrates with a size up to 10x10 mm are required for a uniform thickness of the fabricated film. Rectangular double side polished substrates of 10x10 mm, 20x20 mm, or circular substrates of 2-inch diameter can be accommodated.
Target - A maximum of 6x 1-inch diameter or 3x 2-inch diameter targets can be used. A wide variety of target materials can be used, especially ceramics, and metals. Targets should be dense and have low vapour pressure. The use of powder targets is strictly forbidden.

DEP-019 Ion Beam Assist Sputter

Sputtering is a physical vapor deposition process in which positively charged ions generated in plasma are accelerated by an electrical field to strike the negative target with sufficient energy to dislodge and eject atoms from the target. The ejected atoms condense on substrate to form a thin film. Sputter machine is capable of depositing thin metallic and insulation layers less than 300 nm. The sputtering system has three magnetron sputtering cathodes which accommodate 2 inch diameter targets and can be used with DC or RF sputtering.
Sample - a wide range of metal materials, not applicable for powders, polymers, organics, carbon or toxic materials. Substrate maximum diameter is 8 inches and thickness 1 cm.

DEP-008 High Performance Ebeam EvaporatorTF

E-beam evaporator is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique, where an intense electron beam is emitted from a filament to strike a source material and vaporize it within a vacuum environment. The vaporized atoms condense on the substrate to form a thin film. The e-beam evaporator has the capability to deposit up to four different materials (metal and oxide) without opening the chamber. The lab provides standard materials such as Zirconium, Indium, Tungsten, Copper, Titanium, Iron, Aluminum and Rhodium.
Sample - a wide range of solid materials, not applicable for polymers, powders, organics and toxic materials. Maximum sample diameter is 200 mm, maximum substrate temperature is 400 degC.

DEP-022 Inkjet Printer

Microfabrication technology to print polymer patterns on a substrate by using an inkjet printing system for MEMS and microelectronics applications. This bottom-up fabrication method uses small fluid droplet sprayed directly on the substrate to build microstructures. The printing fluids are often UV-curable, heat-sensitive or conductive polymers for various applications. The resolution of the structure is limited by the size of droplet or nozzle, usually within a range of 25-125m diameter. The quality of the printing system determines the speed and precision of the spray and stage control. This technology has various applications including optical interconnect, electrical devices, microfluidic structures and assembly.
Sample - a wide range of inks.
