Principle :

Using the addition of a reactive gas into Ar plasma, the machine allows to deposit composed layers as oxides and nitrures and notably this machine enables to produce aluminium nitride thin films.


Technical characteristics :

- gas : Ar, O2 et N2
- cathode : 6 inch magnetron
- supplying : Advanced Energy 1.5 kW
- substrate polarisation : RF 300 W max
- substrate holder : 1 sample up to 4 inch
- substrate heating : up to 800 °C
- charge lock
- secondary pump : cryogenic pump


Sputtered materials :

The sputtered materials with this machine are: AlN, TiN, TiO2 and SiO2


Achieved results :
