Principles
The CHA Solution is a high vacuum Physical Vapor Deposition System that is used to create high-quality thin films of oxides, metals, and semiconductors. The system has two sources for evaporation: e-beam and resistance source. One mechanical pump is installed for rough pumping and one cryo pump for high vacuum pumping. The turret can accommodate four crucibles at a time to allow multiple and sequential evaporations. Substrates are held in a rotating dome. The deposition controller allows for automatically controlled rise and soaks of crucible melts, and tightly controlled deposition of films.Capabilities
