Deposition Laboratory

The laboratory provides thin film deposition of metals, insulators and magnetic materials. The system includes magnetron sputtering, e-beam and thermal evaporation. It enables also sample treatment by RF cleaning, ion milling and heating in situ.

Equipment:

  • Hybrid evaporation and sputtering system AJA Orion 8E
  • Dry vacuum system with base pressure 1×10-8 Torr  (cryo pump, load lock system)
  • Evaporation – two independent multipocket e- beam sources, two thermal sources
  • Sputtering – two A320-XP 2” UHV magnetrons for DC or RF sputtering in Ar gas
  • Substrate  – 3” diameter, radiant heating (850°C), RF/DC bias, ion beam milling gun, azimuthal rotation and 2” z-motion

Application:

  • E-beam evaporation material for microelectronic structures
  • Co-deposition two materials simultaneously
  • Preparation ohmic and schottky contacts
  • RF and DC sputtering of metallic, insulating, and magnetic materials (co-sputtering, superlattice)
  • Deposition of materials in different gas environment: N2 (TiN), O2 (Al2O3)
