Used PHILIPS / FEI DB835 #9147194 for sale

PHILIPS / FEI DB835 Ion Milling Equipment is a state-of-the-art machining tool used for precision etching and ablation of materials in nanotechnology and microfabrication applications. Using an accelerated beam of argon ions, the system provides a high rate of ion etching and superior material removal rates with controllable depth profiles. The unit consists of an ion source, acceleration chamber, precision mechanical stage, vacuum machine, and various table-top components. The ion source creates an intense, low-energy beam of argon ions. The beam is then accelerated and focused in the vacuum chamber by a series of electrodes. The chamber also contains an adjustable slit which further allows for precise adjustment of the ion beam size, allowing for a variety of depths and resolutions to be achieved. The precision mechanical stage allows for precise scan control, and the positioning of the material within the beam in three-dimensional space. Three-dimensional motion is caused using air bearings and an encoder tool which produces sub-micron positioning accuracy. The vacuum asset maintains a pressure of 0.2- 50 Torr and allows for a contamination-free environment. The beam energies of FEI DB-835 Ion Milling Model range from 0- 800 eV, allowing for a wide choice of ion etching rates. The ion beam size is adjustable depending on the desired etch depth, from a few nanometers to a few microns, and etch depths up to a few hundred nanometers can be achieved consistently and accurately. PHILIPS DB 835 Ion Milling Equipment offers uniform removal depths without an accumulation of residue material, giving extremely repeatable etches and reject-free results. The system is optimized for use with a variety of industrial materials, including carbon, metals, and semiconductors, and can be set to provide exceptionally low profile etching. Integrated ERS detectors in the unit ensure safe operation and protection of the material during etching. The compact machine operates quietly and in a minimal space, making it ideal for industrial and laboratory settings.
