Used DENTON VACUUM DESK II #9179222 for sale

DENTON VACUUM DESK II is a sputtering equipment designed for high-performance scientific coating requirements, in particular for research and development and metrology applications. It offers a superior solution for thin-film deposition on substrates like glass, ceramics, and metals. It is designed with a host of features which enable it to accurately apply ultra-thin films to a substrate with a precise thickness profile. The system utilizes an ionized gas, known as a sputter gas, which is propelled via an electric field between the anode and the cathode of the unit. The cathode is comprised of the sample substrate and the target material, typically made of platinum, gold, or an alloy. When the electric field is activated, the sputter gas atoms of the target material are accelerated by the field across the substrate and deposited on the sample surface as metal films. The machine's thin-film deposition process is precisely controlled and monitored through Closed Loop Computer Control (CLCC). CLCC controls the rate at which the substrate is exposed to the sputter gas, maintaining consistent thickness and therefore obtaining perfect reproducibility. Additionally, the sophisticated CLCC tool helps automate the entire process of setting parameters, from cleaning the substrate to giving end-of-process instructions. The asset is equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems to ensure a safe working environment for operators. These include Ion Beam Isolation Model (IBIS), which automatically deactivates the electric field between the anode and cathode when the door of the equipment is not properly closed, and controlled acceleration and deceleration of the vacuum pump to ensure safe loading and unloading of substrates. DESK II is designed with a user-friendly user interface and a wide range of additional features. It includes a data logging system, manual valve control, tooling support, and a number of built-in store and recall functions. The unit is reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use, offering optimal results when it comes to thin-film deposition. Its advanced performance and safety systems make it ideal for high-performance scientific coating applications.
