Cryofox Explorer 500 GLAD (Glancing Angle Deposition)

Overview:

The instrument consits of a load-lock chamber pumped by a turbo molecular pump, and a deposition chamber pumped by a cryogenic pump, allowing short pumping time and high throughput. The main chamber is equipped with a multi pocket electron beam evaporator and an ion gun source. The substrate holder can be tilted from 0° to 90° and at the same time rotated at various speeds. Three-dimension ordered arrays of nanostructures of various materials can be deposited by utilizing glancing angle deposition technique.

Applications:

E-beam evaporations. Ion beam assisted evaporations. Plasma (oxygen and argon) processes to clean substrates before evaporation.
