Used ISI PS 2 #126408 for sale

ISI PS 2 sputtering equipment is a state-of-the-art tool used for advanced thin film deposition. It utilizes vacuum evaporation and sputtering methods to deposit ultra-thin layers of material onto substrates. The process of sputtering requires an inert gas (normally Ar or Xe) to be used along with an electrical current which causes intense ionization. This ionization causes energetic particle bombardment and subsequent erosion of the target material which then deposits onto the substrate as an ultra-thin layer. PS 2 is a fully configurable sputtering system that can be used to deposit a wide variety of thin film materials. It is designed for either a single-target or two-target configuration, with the latter offering greater process versatility and better throughput. Different materials and targets can be combined in a single target configuration for sample-specific deposition. Each target holder is capable of rotating up to 180°, allowing for an increased range of deposition angles. Multiple substrates can be accommodated in the unit, ranging from small pieces up to 200mm wafers. ISI PS 2 is capable of generating protective shielding screens for both the sample and the substrate, thereby reducing contamination and increasing uniformity in deposition. Sputtering pressure is adjustable from 0.5 - 6 mTorr and is monitored by a digital display. Heater elements can be utilized in the machine to allow for higher deposition rates and improved local uniformities. PS 2 also includes multiple ancillary technologies including a recessed coolant port, a quartz crystal to measure deposition rates, plus a pre-evacuation tool. The unit also includes a run-and-monitor asset for remote operation and provides a control interface with onboard computer controls for data logging and troubleshooting. Overall, ISI PS 2 is an efficient and reliable sputtering model capable of producing high-quality, ultra-thin film layers at a variety of substrate sizes. With its adjustable parameters and advanced ancillary technologies, PS 2 stands head-above in the sputtering technology industry.
