Summary of system capabilities

Vendor: Angstrom Engineering Inc.
Model: Nexdep System with Glove box
Purpose: PVD of thin films via resistive-heating thermal evaporation. Chamber is connected to a multi-glovebox assembly. Two options exists for loading samples into the system: path #1 is from air directly into the evaporation chamber; path #2 is from the inert atmosphere glovebox into the evaporation chamber.

PROHIBITED depositions

The possibility of depositing the following films has been studied. Our research has concluded that the risk of chamber contamination is too high. Thus, these materials are NOT ALLOWED in this system:
