Lab Combinatorial Plasma Sputtering Coating Coater Machine With Three 2'' Magnetron Sputtering Sources
VTC-600-3HD-LD is a combinatorial plasma sputtering system with three 2“ magnetron sputtering sources and three RF/DC power supplies. Such a sputtering system is capable of co-sputtering up to three different target materials and create various composition profiles across the substrate (e.g. ternary materials for Li-ion rechargeable battery). This system is also suitable for sequential coating of multiple layer films such as ferroelectric, alloy, semiconductor, ceramic, dielectric, optical, oxide, hard, PTFE, etc.

Application Notes
|
-
A two-stage pressure regulator (not included) should be installed on gas cylinder to limit the gas output pressure below 0.02 MPa for safe usage
-
In order to remove oxygen from the chamber, TMAX suggest you to use 5% Hydrogen + 95 % Nitrogen to clean the chamber 2-3 times, which can reduce oxygen level to < 10 ppm
-
Please use > 5N purity Argon gas for plasma sputtering. Even though 5N purity Ar usually contains 10 - 100 ppm oxygen and H2O depending on the supplier. TMAX suggest you to use gas purification device to purify gas before filling in.
-
For best performance, the non-conductive targets must be installed with a copper backing plate. Please refer to the instruction video below for target bonding
-
Lith supplies single crystal substrate from A to Z
-
Lith Sputtering Coaters have successfully coated ZnO on Al2O3 substrate at 500 °C
-
Test the flexibility of the thin film / coated electrode with EQ-MBT-12-LD mandrel bending tester.
-
HIGH VOLTAGE! Sputtering heads connect to high voltage. For safety, the operator must shut down the RF / DC generator before sample loading and target changing operations
-
DO NOT use tap water in water chiller. Must use Rust Protection Coolants to prevent rust and corrosion.
