Used KURT J. LESKER Sputtering system #293749636 for sale

KURT J. LESKER Sputtering equipment is an advanced thin film deposition tool used in the semiconductor, optics, and research industries for the precise deposition of materials onto substrates. This system utilizes the sputtering technique, a physical vapor deposition process in which atoms from a target material are dislodged and deposited onto a substrate to form a thin film. Key components of Sputtering unit include a vacuum chamber, magnetron sputtering sources, power supplies, gas handling systems, substrate holders, and process control software. The vacuum chamber provides a controlled environment with low pressure to allow for efficient sputtering deposition. The chamber is typically made of a non-reactive material such as stainless steel to prevent contamination of the deposited films. The magnetron sputtering sources in KURT J. LESKER machine use a magnetic field to enhance the sputtering process and improve the uniformity of the deposited films. These sources consist of a target material, typically a metal or alloy, and a magnetron that generates a plasma to dislodge atoms from the target surface. The power supplies deliver the required electrical energy to create the plasma and control the sputtering process parameters such as sputtering rate, power density, and target material utilization. The gas handling tool in KURT J. LESKER Sputtering asset controls the deposition environment by introducing and regulating the flow of process gases such as argon or oxygen. These gases can be used to create a reactive sputtering process, where the deposited film composition can be modified by the addition of reactive gases during deposition. The gas flow rates and pressure are crucial parameters to optimize film properties such as composition, adhesion, and stress. The substrate holders in KURT J. LESKER model securely hold the substrates in place during the deposition process and provide efficient heat transfer to ensure uniform film growth. The substrates can be rotated or tilted to improve film thickness uniformity across large areas or complex geometries. Additionally, substrate heating or cooling capabilities may be integrated into the equipment to optimize film properties such as crystallinity or stress. The process control software of Sputtering system allows for precise control and monitoring of the deposition process parameters. Operators can set deposition recipes, monitor real-time process data, and adjust parameters such as deposition rate, film thickness, and substrate temperature. The software also provides diagnostics and maintenance tools to ensure optimal unit performance and reliability. Overall, KURT J. LESKER Sputtering machine is a versatile and reliable tool for thin film deposition applications requiring high precision and control. Its advanced features and capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of research and industrial applications in the fields of semiconductors, optics, and materials science. By providing a robust and user-friendly platform for thin film deposition, Sputtering tool enables researchers and manufacturers to achieve high-quality thin films with tailored properties for their specific needs.
