Used COMTECH SST 5 #199747 for sale

COMTECH SST 5 is a popular sputtering equipment capable of creating thin films of various materials on substrates. This system is used in a variety of industries, ranging from the automotive industry to nanotechnology applications. The primary components of the unit include a high-vacuum chamber, a power supply, and a sputter target cathode. Inside the vacuum chamber, the environment is maintained at a very low level of pressure for creating films of very high quality without contamination. The power supply delivers high-current pulses directly to the sputter target, which vaporizes material from the target onto the surface of the substrate. The target consists of a rectifier, filaments, connectors, and electrodes on a plate. The rectifier converts the electrical voltage into a DC current that is then sent through the filaments, electrodes, and connectors and creates an arc in between the target and substrate. This arc sputters off material on the substrate. The intensity of the arc can be adjusted to meet sputtering needs. The cathode has a high rotational speed, allowing for the sputtering of high-quality coatings in a variety of materials. This is achieved due to the fact that the rotational speed creates turbulence within the working chamber and reduces the number of collisions between the ions and the substrate material. The substrate and target materials used in this sputtering machine depend on the specific needs of the user. Possible materials may include thin films of oxides, metals, alloys, organic materials, and other materials that must remain in close contact with the substrate surface. SST 5 is capable of depositing thin films up to 3 nanometers with a low possibility of oxidation due to the high vacuum environment. This makes it a very useful tool for applications such as automotive coatings, nanofabrication, micro-fabrication, and other various thin film applications. Overall, COMTECH SST 5 is a very reliable sputtering tool with robust capabilities for a variety of applications. It provides precision sputtering with excellent film uniformity. Its specialized design ensures that surfaces remain clean and contamination free. The asset is easy to maintain with no need for regular recalibration, making it a popular choice for many businesses.
