Used COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC / VEECO VIII #9070908 for sale

COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC / VEECO VIII is an ion milling equipment that is used in the semiconductor industry for creating extremely thin chips. It utilizes ion bombardment to cut, mill and etch extremely thin layers of various materials including silicon, aluminum, copper and other metals and dielectrics. This allows the creation of high-density microelectronics and optoelectronics applications. VEECO VIII is a computer-controlled system that allows for precision control of the milling process. It is programmed to drive a beam of ions through the material, slicing it into thin layers which are then deposited onto a backing substrate. It features a high-energy ion source which produces ions at energies up to 70 keV, and employs a dual ion beam unit that is able to effectively improve the accuracy of the cutting operation. The machine's ion beam is capable of cutting at up to 120mA and is designed to operate in either standard and reverse stroke modes. It also features a series of adjustable parameters including angle, pressure, current, beam power, beam size and speed of the beam movement. This allows for complete customization of the milling process depending on the material, shape and size of the desired parts. The tool also features adjustable vacuum flush valves and a coarse positioning asset which allows for fine tuning of the ion beam location during the milling process. This provides an accurate and repeatable milling operation with minimal errors. COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC VIII also includes a digital image processor and a real-time data acquisition model. This equipment provides data collection and analysis which can be used for process improvement, as well as monitoring of machine performance. In terms of safety, VIII is equipped with a number of safety features including safety locks, emergency stops and ion detection sensors. This ensures user safety when operating the system. Overall, COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC / VEECO VIII is a versatile and powerful ion milling unit that is suitable for a wide range of applications and materials. It is capable of providing precise and repeatable milling operations with minimal errors and is suitable for use in laboratories, production and research environments.
