Used LAM RESEARCH Autoetch 490 #175570 for sale

LAM RESEARCH Autoetch 490 is an automated etching machine that is designed for applications in wet and dry chemical etching processes. The machine is specifically designed to perform precision etching and ashing on a variety of materials and substrates. It features a sequential, fully-automatic operation that uses a high frequency alternating current to cause the particles in the material or substrate to move and be exposed to focused chemicals. The machine is equipped with a variety of features designed to improve its performance and accuracy. These features include a precision gas valve, which is used to precisely control the flow of gases, as well as a compact, enclosed vacuum system to ensure that the etching process takes place in a controlled environment. Additionally, Autoetch 490 features a computer-controlled microprocessor-driven system, which enables the machine to accurately and precisely control the process parameters. The etching process is initiated by using the computer-driven controls to start the process, where the etching and ashing parameters are set to achieve the desired properties. Once the process is initiated, an alternating high-frequency voltage is applied to the material or substrate to cause the ions within the material to vibrate, which causes etching to take place. During the etching process, the etchant gases are introduced into the chamber. These gases are then spark ignited, causing the material to be exposed to the chemicals and allowing the etch to occur. Once the etching process has been completed, the etch product is then analyzed to check for product quality. LAM RESEARCH Autoetch 490 is equipped with a phosphor screen that allows the etch product to be seen in real-time, allowing the user to see how the etch process is progressing and how the etched material looks. Once the etch process has been completed, the etch product can either be cleaned or disposed of. Overall, Autoetch 490 is an efficient and reliable etching and ashing system that is designed to provide a highly accurate and consistent quality of etched products. The machine is equipped with a variety of features that enable it to perform both wet and dry etching processes with a high degree of accuracy and precision. The machine is also suitably equipped to analyze the etched product to ensure that it meets the quality standards that have been set for the etching process.
