Used PHOTOMEC CZ / PTM #293645788 for sale

PTM (or PHOTOMEC CZ) is an automated crystal growing, sawing, and slicing equipment designed for the additional processing of single crystal materials. PTM systems consist of a reaction vessel, refrigeration unit, process controller, and automation package for controlling all facets of the process. As the name implies, the PTM system is divided into three main sections: growing, sawing and slicing. The growing component of the unit focuses on providing optimal environmental conditions for single crystal growth. Experiments are conducted in a temperature and pressure controlled reaction vessel, analogous to a furnace. In addition, additional parameters such as cooling rate, ramp rate, and time can be adjusted to influence the crystal migration. All of these parameters are expertly controlled by an automated machine. The sawing component is used to shape a grown crystal into specific desired sizes. The process used to saw individual pieces is diamond wire sawing. It is composed of high-tension diamond embedded wires and can excellently cut pristinely grown single crystals into thin slices. The slicing component is a further operation to produce thin foils out of the previously cut wafers. The PTM tool has been designed with a hybrid slice and dice asset to provide the best slicing capabilities. Airfoils and mechanical blades both work together and can be adjusted according to the specific thin film needs for the application. The combination of the three components enables the production of high quality single crystal materials for a wide array of applications. PTM systems are used extensively in the semiconductor industry for processing areas such as MEMS, GaN and SiC substrates, and optical filters. Other fields in which single crystal materials have been applied include energy storage, display technology and laser technology. In summary, PTM (PHOTOMEC CZ) is a robust automation model for growing, sawing, and slicing single crystal materials. By utilizing all these components in concert, PTM provides users with the highest quality, most uniform single crystal materials available.
