Ion-Beam Sputter Deposition System BESTEC (KAUFMAN)

UHV sputter deposition system is equipped with two RFICP Kaufman ion-beam sources (KRI®) with 4 cm diameter grids (3-grid primary and 2-grid assisted/secondary) and charge neutralizer (LFN 2000 - KRI®). This setup is suitable for Ion-beam sputter deposition, Ion-beam assisted deposition, reactive sputter deposition with nitrogen and in-situ initial/continual substrate (pre-)cleaning. Etching (ion-milling) is not possible due to undesirable chamber and targets contamination.
