Vac Coat High Vacuum Systems Upgraded by the Electric Valve

News
[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=""] Vac Coat High Vacuum Systems Upgraded by the Electric Valve Vac Coat has upgraded all its high vacuum coating systems with an electric valve installed on the line from the backing pump to the turbomolecular pump. This feature helps prevent backstreaming of backing pump oil to the turbo pump and vacuum chamber, which can cause serious problems for any vacuum coating system.

Vacuum Coating Chamber Maintenance

Vacuum Coating Chamber Maintenance

Report
[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=""] Vacuum Coating Chamber Maintenance Vacuum chambers are the heart of a vacuum coating system. Maintenance of the vacuum coating chamber used in physical vapour deposition (PVD), including sputtering or thermal evaporation methods, is critical to ensure layer quality, repeatability, device uptime, and equipment lifespan. The main considerations in vacuum chamber maintenance include vacuum chamber cleaning from contamination, leak detection, inspecting O-rings and seals, and vacuum pump(s) servicing. A vacuum coating may also contain other parts like film thickness monitor, gas flow controller (MFC), cooling system, etc., that require frequent inspection and calibration.

The Best Conductive Coating Thickness for EM and Microanalysis

The Best Conductive Coating Thickness for EM and Microanalysis

Report
[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=""] The Best Conductive Coating Thickness for Electron Microscopy and Microanalysis Coating an insulating specimen with a thin conductive layer is one of the common sample preparation steps prior to the surface analysis techniques engaging electrons. A thin coating of a conductive material with proper grain size enhances charge dissipation on the sample surface that is bombarded by the electrons. Choosing the proper conductive coating thickness for electron microscopy and microanalysis, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS/EDX), and wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy (WDS), helps to achieve a high-resolution imaging and precise examination of the sample’s surface.

Bias Sputtering

Bias Sputtering

Report
[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text css=""] Bias Sputtering Bias sputtering, or substrate biasing, involves applying an electric voltage to the substrate, which increases the ion bombardment of the substrate and the subsequent coating during the sputter deposition process. The main aim of substrate bias sputtering is to minimise film contamination by the process gas atoms, and it helps produce more condensed films with lower electrical resistivity compared to those formed without substrate biasing.
